I just got a Gforce4 Ti 4200. I found out it needs at least 300 watt Dual fan power supply. I currently have a single fan 250 watt power supply. By changing this out to a 300 watt duel fan, will or should I see an improved performance with my games?.

No,, but you'll eliminate the risk of having your fan voltage drop too low and overheating either the card, board or CPU...

Power supplies are so cheap and last forever,, just step up and get a 400W supply and be done with it...then you can run all the fans, cards and drives you want.

Thanks Brett. I found a place here in town that sells them for $46 so I am going to get one.
