im worried about my 250 watt not being able to throw out enough power to supply but im just confuzzled that it was supply enough to my current one !


note these ones im trying ot buy only recommend 270W+ even though my last one recommended me 300W or higher


and i only use it for like WoW and some video editing or like photoshop if anything .. xD

it uses a PCI chipset,yet somehow,it's an AGP card. You can't find drivers for it. No hotfix works. It's probably the least compatible card for your pc

Do not but the first link you showed me now for the second 1intresring I recomend the second choice my friend

go for it

Well you know the graphics card doesn't use up all 250Watts, look up how much your first graphics card actually used in terms of power and compare it to the new one you can buy.

The power supply is for your whole computer so if you have some lower power components you can use some higher ones in other areas, however graphics cards are often one if the the most power intensive device.
