the computer comes with a 300W PS, which is fine for the ATI 256, but for a 512 card it would've required at least 350W.

Thanks for the tip on the Power Supply upgrade required to add a better video card (surprised CNET didn't mention this). Why is this? I thought it was 350W PS in the a1640n - isn't this enough to power an nVidia GeForce 7900GS (the video card I plan to buy)? Is there a power cable from the PS that fits the video card? And how difficult is it in the a1640n to replace the PS? Thanks again for your help.
