I'm not too familiar with GF4's but "too weak"? What
circumstances/situations draw you to this conclusion? It's a bit vague.
I would have thought the CPU would be fine, maybe it's a PSU issue?
Not sure if this is a "fair" comparison, but for what it's worth, I've
successfully used a GF3 with a "slow" PII 400 system. (complete with a 250W
(!) PSU!)
