replacing geforce 6150 SE 128mb with...?

[spaniel12871]

Hello,
My PC has an AMD X2 dual core 2.5GHz cpu, 4GB ram, and the geforce 6150 se 128mb. I wanted to upgrade to a 512mb or 1GB video card. I was looking around newegg and found a bunch in the price range of around $100. I am not interested in overclocking at all. Also, is the geforce 6150 a pci express 16x? Thanks a lot for your help. Again, I'm interested in a 512mb or 1GB video card. Thanks.

I need an exact model or the amount of amps on your 12v rail.

It is an apevia atx cw500W P4

12A at 115V and 6A at 230V

Ok, the 6150 is an integrated chip. I'm going to assume your motherboard supports PCI-E.

I don't know what resolution you are running at but this is an all rounder card. Best bang for your buck at this price range. Hopefully this fits in your case.

I notice that card is 128bit. Is there a big dif between a 128bit card and 256bit card?

More lanes for the information to travel through. The 4850 is a good choice, but it all depends on his resolution.

Well should I get a bigger power supply? Like 600+ or something or is 500 big enough
