The ATI/AMD Radeon 1950PRO. This is one area that AMD beats Nvidia in the graphics market, LOL.

Maybe, but it will probably be better to upgrade PSUs anyways... that 300W isn't too upgrade-friendly.

It won't. I would never take the chance to put a X1950 Pro AGP on a 300W which is maybe a few years old. Do you know the brand and model of your power supply?

Now there you go, the brand and model!!! An Antec for instance, would have a lot better chance at running the 1950 pro, than say a Powmax

Hell, I had to RMA my Hiper 580, and ended up getting a Antec 350 watt PSU, to run 2 hard drives, 4 case fans, cpu fan, 2 optical drives, and 2 7600gt in SLI!!! It never hiccuped once.
