I have the same system as you SBJ. I dropped my Nvidia 6200 256mb for the Visiontek Radeon X1300 XGE 512mb videocard. I picked this card because it was much faster than my 6200 and like you I had a 300w power supply. The X1300 runs just fine on 300W power supply. Any card higher than this required a better power supply. Being I was not spending another $80.00 on top of the $150.00 videocard, this was the best choice for me. I run the game with all sliders to the max with exception of the sliders for the land objects and density(i do not hangout in port anyway). These set at half. The checkable options are all checked except the volumetric fog, sun glare, 3D water(seen no difference anyway). I get at the lowest 20 FPS and the highest 50 FPS. I'm very pleased with the card. Plus, I have the AA at X4 and PPF on as well. I have become a ATI fan.
