    What are you upgrading for? Gaming? The 7200GS is pretty bad for that, and the x550 or the 6150se arent that much better.

    Well it'll definetly handle linux, but not games like Battlefield 2. What games do you want to play?

    umm UT2004 it runs nearly perfect on my current card but ATi Drivers suck on linux lol i dont mind playing games on low detail so i could play BF2. GTA SA can run on very high at 20 - 25 fps but on mid to high it runs at 30 - 50 fps. ummm i want to play carbon/UT3 Demo as well

    The 7200GS is a pretty poor card as Waymon3X6 said, Carbon will run with it, but probably only on low settings, i don't think UT3 will run with that card well at all, even on low. I have a 7300LE at the moment which i hate, i havn't even tried running UT3 with it, most other new games run badly on it, even considering the CPU is an E6600, and i have 2GB DDR2 RAM. Finally i'm going to upgrade to an 8800GT and can't tell you how glad i am :)

    i dont think its low profile... my machine is real tiny acerpower sk30.. i had a look and the only card that would fit is a ATi X1300 but i want a Nvidia lol

    EDIT: thats why I was going to get this one the 7200gs but now i dont even think i will get that one as it looks to big
