@ jamzbond I checked out that site and it dont even have my cpu wattage prolly cuz the cpu is fairly new technology. I meant to put that info in early but I guess i forgot
post a list of all the components in your computer as to cpu speed & socket, fan whether lighted or not, pci card types, # od drives & types, ram & # of sticks as list in the power calc programs posted so can calculate psu requirement.
my components are AMD x2 3800+ cpu the socket i do believe is 939, x2512ddr 3200 so it equals to a gig of ram, 250gb hard drive the hd is a sata hard drive, integrated ati radeon xpress 200, 9 in 1 card reader, dvd-rom, dvd+burner at 16x, fan is not lighted, i have a pcie slot available, it has an ethernet port, 7 ports between firewire usb and ethernet. onboard 6 channel audio digital out. it has windows media center as well. That is it o it has 4 ram slot so i can fit 4 gb of ram in it. I hope all this info helps
well i went ahead and got the card havent put it in yet waiting to go get a new psu i found a 480 watts power supply and i do believe that should be plenty. anywayz that everyone that helped me out on all of my questions all of you were real informative. thanx again
ok will do i have to wait for xmas to get my card my mom wrapped it and put it under the tree. So I will let you guyz know how it works out.
