| 360362 | 2005-06-02 22:31:00 | You will need a decent QUALITY PSU preferrably 450W... the 6600 requires a 12V molex power connector, although a generic PSU will work, you would be better off buying a quality brand product.... yes that means you will need to spend a little more money . Now before you go "bloody hell more money" the fact of the matter is that you get what you pay for... if you want to invest money in a 6600GT then it would be a good idea to spend some money on a decent PSU, the last thing you want is to have your PSU fail and then also have your 6600GT fried because of it. The general rules of thumb here are... 1) SPENDING MORE NOW MEANS SPENDING LESS ON FUTURE MAINTENANCE. 2) NEVER SKIMP ON QUALITY... CHEAP IS VERY RARELY THE BEST OPTION ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CRITICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS GRAPHICS CARDS AND PSU's cheers chiefnz |

| 360363 | 2005-06-02 22:47:00 | I run mine off a generic 400w psu, prior to that I ran it off a generic 300w psu... They do fine in the short term, I wouldn't break a leg to get one on the same day as the new video card if you can't afford it. But you can garentee it (the psu) will fail futher down the line if its not up to spec. |
