I ran my card (overclocked even!) with a 25 A power supply, so you're fine.

Be sure to plug in that PCI-E power connector, though! The 9600 GT is near the limit that the motherboard can provide...

Fuse? A big fuse?

I'd suggest saving your money otherwise, because there's no better AGP card than the HD 3850.

Yeah, what ultima said. HD 4830/50/70s are generally about the same length as my own card (about 9"). If you were close, you probably could fit a single slot 4850.

Yes. Having gone from that IGP to this GPU, I can safely say the 9600 GT will absolutely annihilate the 6150SE. :D

However, you should definitely consider a new processor.

This one would probably...

Save those pennies for an HD 4850. If you must have a 9800GT, try http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130384, since it's a 55nm.

Or here's an HD 4850 for you:...

Wow. That Asus card is ridiculous. How did they get away with branding those 9800GTs while they have 128 stream processors?

Real world power draw for the 3870 is 83W at max 3D, against 61 for the 9600GT. And the 3870 has GDDR4 memory, even. Why? Are ATI's GPUs that inefficient?

Yes, definitely. When the manufacturer gives you a 12V amp figure, it's a good idea to at least get close. For example, my 9600GT runs just fine on my 25A PSU, so 26A isn't a set in stone number. ...

Finally, our long national nightmare is over. My 9600GT is in the case!

Initial thoughts?

It's totally epic. Clarity is 50% better than my integrated/VGA cable suck combo.
