450/1200 here - been running that for over a year now, with no probs at all.

What sort of games are you talking about? If you're thinking of recent games (as in the last year or so), then you definitely want to look at changing the x300 card for **at least** a 6800go. Other than that, if the budget can be...

I only bring this up because you didn't mention it - did you change your power supply to the 130W one?

I know there's many other threads I could have posted this in, but I wanted to (hopefully) help out anybody else who's come across this. I recently upgraded my vid card in my 9300 to a 7800GTX (many thanks, Balthasar ), but could...
