I read several reviews and may have decided on an ATI X1800XT. I want to be able to play some games (I really want to be able to play Oblivion), but don't have a very big wallet. Anyway, I was told by someone I might have to upgrade my power supply. I have a fairly new HP computer that has a 300W supply. Is this true? Also, I usually shop on Newegg for this type of thing. I searched for the model and it brought up two different brands, Sapphire and ASUS, one of which costs $150 less. Here's a link:

Is there really any difference in the two?
If anyone has any suggestions for a better card for $150-200, I would like those too (let me know why you think it's better, though).
Thanks for any help!
