    Display cards: ATI HD 2400 PRO 256MB PCI Express

    Has anyone had any experience with the "ATI HD 2400 PRO 256MB PCI Express" card?

    I'm rebuilding my computer from a lightning strike and I'm now down to a decision on a graphics card. My only self-imposed limitation was not having the forethought to install a larger power supply. I purchased an equivalent 350-watt to the one that had been burned up by the lightning strike. I'm aware liquid plays well with ATI cards and I've read all the posts I can find on them. Seems the latest and greatest display cards need bigger power supplies than I had anticipated. Guess I should have started at the graphics card and worked backwards. I'm looking for something that I can handle with my meager 350-watt power supply in my small tower configuration?

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Current configuration
    Asus P5KPL-CM mother board.
    350 watt power supply.
    4 gigs of DDR2 memory added.
    Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6700 @ 2.66GHz processor added
    1 terabyte SATA drive for Liquid Media.
    1 200GB SATA System Drive.
    1 30GB IDE back-up boot drive/2nd OS with absolutely no software installed on it.
    1 HP DVD Writer 1140D
    1 USB multi format card reader.
    Windows XP SP2
    An inadequate NVIDIA GeForce MX 4000 display card.
    2 flat panel displays:
    KDS Rad-7si  Max Res: 1280x1024 VGA ONLY
    Compaq FP745A Max Res: 1024 x 768 VGA ONLY

    I'll tell you what I'm just going to close this thread out. I'm headed out to the store to see if I can return and trade up this 350-watt power supply. No reason why I should settle for an inferior graphics card because of the Power Supply. Peace all

    In case you still want to know, it does work. Have been using one in a system for a couple years now.
