I quite fancy a dual display setup!! I wont be gaming, but I would like to be kinda future proof, so I would like a capable card. It looks like I'm going to need to spend £100 (but would prefer to spend around £60-£70). I will be running Ubuntu 9.04. I am thinking of the nvidia 9600 GT. What do you guys think? Is this a bit over the top for my needs? More importantly, the nvidia say this card comes as a 59 watt or 96 watt. Are they the same card just a different size and power consumptions? I have an Advent PQD4003 which has a Foxconn A7GMX motherboard. The board has 1 x PCI E x 16 slot. It also has a 300W PSU. So, will the card fit? Will either the 59 watt or 96 watt card work off the current PSU?
Even a 9400 GT would work for someone that doesn't game. As for your PSU, a 300W might be a little small for that GPU. You might want to upgrade to at least a 400W.
EWW 300w? Really that is probably a generic piece of **** They are loud and BADD......yea go wit ATI, they have really good cheap cards like 4650, but nvidea only has 9400gt.
