You guys are wasting bandwidth.  ::)

What is the motherboard make and model?

Yes, 300w is not enough.

Front Side Bus Speed : 2x 166MHz (332MHz data rate)
Total Memory : 512MB DDR-SDRAM
Memory Bus Speed : 2x 166MHz (332MHz data rate)



P.S. what about with the sempron? would it be ok then? or have i gotta go for like 400W either way?

If you need more than that i can A) give you it from CPU-Z or B) try and look inside it (i really cant see the model although it is 100% SiS (it has that on it yet no model number... weird huh?))

also what sort of performance increase would i get if i put more ram in? (1GB or something)

    I don't think extra ram would give much of a boost considering the rest of your system.

    This graphics card needs only a 250w power supply, and costs about £30. I suspect it's faster than your current card, but I don't know for sure.
