    I wanted to buy a new graphics card for my computer because my nvidia geforce mmx 440, isn't very good and i can't play the newer computer games with it. I bought a XFX GeForceā„¢ 7600 GT 256 MB PCI-E Graphics Card, and it says that it requires a 300 watt power supply, and my computer only has a 160 watt power supply. I called gateway and asked them and they said that it will work fine on a 160 watt power supply. I am wanting to know if that is true before I install the graphics card into my computer
