Is a 7300 GS/GT/LE good enough to run most games at 1024x768?
Answer:
Yes, it should do pretty good at running games at that resolution but you are going to be stuck with DirectX 9 games.
The nVidia 8000 series of cards if you can afford it, may be a better solution for you if you have PCIe slots and not AGP.
The 7300 is slightly ahead of the 6800 Ultra card which is what I currently have now and my 6800 Ultra runs all games at 1024x768.

A card of that stature will probably run most games out now at 1024x768 but depending on the game you may have to turn some bells and whistles like AntiAliasing down or off to get a playable frame rate. Also keep in mind that there is a slow transition occurring to DirectX10 that anything below an 8800 won't support.
I would recommend saving your money and waiting till a DirectX10 card enters closer to your price range.
Also its always a good idea to search for the model number you are looking at to find reviews online from gaming sites. They generally pit several cards against each other on various games to see how they perform. I always check this out before making a big purchase like that.
Ya, an 7300 GS is good enough for games in 1024x768 in maybe games from 2 years ago. For modern games you really have to step up to an 7600 to play decently in 1024x768 resolution. If your overclocking I'm pretty sure you can get maybe the performance of an 7400, and 300 watts is plenty for overclocking the 7300.
I just put a 7300GT on my kids pc and its alot better than I expected. it runs WOW awesome. All the older games look great. BF2 looks fantastic. Thats probably the toughest game we have graphic wise.
The clock speed is similar to your 6150 but it has more pixel pipelines and 3.0 shaders. Mine has a passive cooler and runs a little warm at factory settings so be sure you have plenty of cooling before you overclock.
7300GT ddr3 would be best. The LE is slow, GS is somewhat better.
