It's a 435w Enermax Dual fan, a higher watted model than that listed as
necessary by AMD for the XP1900+.
I always research and an use care in the hardware I purchase even if it
is for a cheap system. I even still believe that the 'best' 3d card that
can be had for the money, especially for linux use, is the ATI Xpert2000
32MB (not the pro version).
I 'choose the GeForce3 for my high end system and I 'choose' to use the
nvidia drivers.
That is part of what linux is about--the ability to have choice.
Currently I am quite happy with the performance I get from all my
systems, except for my gateway where I have to run Win98 but that is
another story.
