which card is better a 7800gs agp8x or 7600gt agp8x also newegg says you need a Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply.
An available 4-pin Molex hard drive power dongleĀ

amd athlon 64 3000+ 2.0ghz

1024 ram

current card is geforce fx 5500

4pin molex is the normal power connector, its in all PSU's, i'd personally reccomend the 7600gT cause it has more shaders operations and its memory is underclocked = u can overclock it till u r satisfied. + its cheaper. if u have a good budget get the gs.

I would say the 7600 GT would be better, but not by much. As for the 4 pin molex, it's basically the power connector that connects to your hard drive and CD-ROM drive. If you have those available, you should be fine.

By downloading an overclocker tool for Nvidia. Usually Coolbits Registry is the favoured one by most OCers.

OCing have its own risks in every way. Simply said, it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
