    I recently bought a geforce 7600gs video card with 512 ram but when i put it in my pcie slot (it's a pcie card) it's heatsink hits the nearest pci slot (it's really close) should i return it and get my money back or keep it because it works real good it just has a real annoying vibration:(

    I'd change either the board or the card. One has to go ;)

    Thanks for your reply mcadam i took my geforce 7600 back to where i bought it and got my money back and bought a radeon hd 2400 also with 512 ram it was $25.00 less and it runs really good considering it's compaany's web site (It's a diamond) say it needs a 400 psu and mine's a 300 and it's working great!!

    Be careful! The PSU recommendations are made for a reason. If you start to experience erratic behavior, jumpy video, lock ups, crashes, or shut downs for no reason, it's probably the power supply being over-worked. You can get a decent 450w PSU for under $50. So take the $25 you saved, add another $25 and upgrade that PSU before it's too late ;)
