Buying New Video Card, URGENT HELP!!!

[ladic]

Hi, sorry for the caps, but I ask because I want to take advantage of the offer Neweeg is having and want to know if I am making the right choice.
Before I start, this are my system Specs:

ATI Radeon 9600XT 128mb
ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe (MoBo)
1 Gig PC2700 Ram (Dual Channel 512x2)
AMD XP2400+
Antec Lanboy Case (350watt Powersupply)
DVD-/+ RW (Sony)
DVD-R (Asus)
80 Gig HD Maxtor
80 Gig HD Maxtor


Ok, so from what I asked before, almost everyone recommended me to upgarde to a Radeon X800PRO, right now Newegg is having a sweet deal, this is the card:

Will everyone perform well with those specs? will the Powersupply be enough? and should I buy that card?
thanks for the help

also, the card listed above is the OEM version, the Retail is $10 more, so if I DO buy the card, should I spend the extra $10 and go with the retail? or is the OEM just fine.

If the warranty is the same and you dont have any interset in the apps/games bundle save yourself 10$!

I havent checked the price lately, if its a good deal that card will give you much more firepower than a 9600!

The psu is enough for this rig

Asus P4P800DX, P4C 2.6ghz@3.25ghz, 2X512 OCZ PC4000 3-4-4-8, MSI 6800Ultra stock, 2X30gig Raid0

Thanks for the info.
Is this the Retail Card?

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814102380

Look like the retailbecause of this line

Package Contents S-Video Cable , Composite Cable, DVI to VGA Adapter, Power Cable, Manual, Driver CD, Games

OEM will ship with the bare minimum, almsot no packaging and only a s-video cable and drivers maybe...even that heh

BTW, read the faq / do this [ url = www.blah.com]description[ /url]
with no space, its nicer than copy paste...

The bundle with the BLU is the OEM, but it has HDTV cable and such, looking at the pictures, its the exact same card...without the box =)

Gotta love Firefox & the Mouse Gestures extension. Just a quick triple click to highlight the address and a right-click, drag-up to view those unlinked URLs.

Labbby, read the OEM one, they list same package contents exatly for both. If that is the case, SAVE YOURSELF $10!

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign</pre><p></font color=red>

I was debating trying the mouse extension thing, so I take it you like it really well?

 

[emogoch]

The single most useful extension I've found for firefox. I'd recommend turning off the trails to save your CPU, lowering the diagonal tolerances so that your multi-move (i.e. up-right) aren't confused with diagonals all the time, and turning on the scroll wheel functions so that you can roll thru your tabs with it. I've recommended it to all my friends, and every one of them thinks its great.
