I won't offer web pages about this but there's more about this than I can shake a stick at.
However the dual 19A 12V rails is a limiter as some of the really great cards will approach that number 19 and my bet is the power supply is old. Figure HALF of the rating to stay out of trouble..

So here's the deal. I'm going to upgrade my video card but didn't know if my old motherboard is restricting my potential. I have a gateway sx2802-03 from 2009. It has pci 2.0 rather than 3.0 and other deatails I'm unsure of. Basically I want to know if my "weak" mono will bottleneck the improvements of my gpu. I have a core 2 quad 2. 5ghz Q8300, 6gb ddr2 800mhz, and a 600w (dual 19A 12V rails).
