Heres my specs.

Manufacturer:P4M80PProcessor:Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz (2 CPUs)

Memory:1024MB RAM

Hard Drive:203 GB

Video Card:NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT

Monitor:Plug and Play MonitorSound

Card:Realtek AC97 AudioSpeakers/Headphones: 

Keyboard:USB Root HubMouse:USB Root HubMouse Surface: 

Operating System:Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)

With only a 400 W power supply, So i don't want to buy a card that will blow up the power supply :/

I just bought bf 2142 / cod 2 and Cnc3, So im pretty positive my current card won't do the job. Tell me either way.

Also im pretty sure, it isn't PCI-E.. Just AGP :(

Yeah i was thinking a 7600 or even cheaper one lol..7300 :O

Is a 400W PSU good enough to run a 7600GT?

 

And how much difference in price/quality are these 3 cards?

7300GT / 7600GS / 7600GT :/

And is GAINWARD a good "brand"?

Ok ok, well i got it down to 2 cards.

7600GS or 7600GT

           Prices         

$170     And       $240

So im actually thinking of getting the 7600GS, UNLESS, theirs a huge difference between GS and GT..

Still don't know what "brands" are good :/

X1950 Pro would be a great buy but since you seem to be on a budget then I recommend the X1950GT and 7600GT
