definetely get the one made by evga, my brother had a evga geforce4 ti4200 and it lasted him for 4 years then he sold it to his friend and it still works great. very reliable. your mobo shouldnt have any problems with this card because the mobo supports agp and the card is an agp. you probably wouldnt have to upgrade your power supply but 350 is like the minimum you need, i would suggest that be your next upgrade after getting more ram.get a good 500 watt or so power supply by thermaltek, they make great stuff.

Of the two, go for evga. Have you considered this one(if you don't mind doing a rebate)?

I probably would get the evga, due to price, and it's a decent brand afaik. The msi appears to have a better heatsink, and has a ton of cds(programs, games, etc), but I hate messing with rebates, so I probably wouldn't, and just get the evga. The evga looks basically like the stock reference nvidia design to me.
