Could a PC ( Acer Aspire M5630 ) that runs a ATI 2400 HD pro run a Radeon HD 4670?

    I was planing on upgrading, and I was wondering if my stock motherboard is compatable with this new card, I was already going to get a better PSU since I know the stock one would be able to run it. If I need to get a new MB could you recommend me one? I don't need anything fancy, and I really need to keep it cheap. Thanks everyone.

    Thank you, I have been reading and have heard that the 4670 barley takes up any watts, would I need a new PSU with it? The stock PSU is 300 watts.

    I can't guarantee this, but I reckon you'd actually get away with using the HD4670 without upgrading the power supply, the power usage of the two cards is quite similar.
