| 756775 | 2009-03-15 07:40:00 | I have a mini Pc Small Desktop running Pentium 4 3.0ghz At the moment the Ati Radeon 9800SE is beginning to die and I would like to replace this graphics card.Right now I have 3 options however these 3 options are affordable for me and I am not sure if my 250W support these graphics card They are Ati Radeon X700 GeForce 6600 Ati Radeon 7600 I've been playing Red Alert 3 and Left 4 dead and the 9800SE is coping quite well dispite a bit laggy if I choose the highest graphics quality within the game Would anyone tell me if the 3 cards will work fine on my PC and which is the best one in terms of performance and quality? I can't seem to find the system requirements on the manufacturer website and I would hate to take a gamble and buy one and find out my PC doesn't boot up |

| 756777 | 2009-03-15 07:49:00 | maybe its a 300W. Any idea how to check without opening PC? | Ninjabear (2948) | ||
| 756778 | 2009-03-15 07:51:00 | Nope, not unless there's text on the outside, at the back of the case or something. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 756779 | 2009-03-15 07:57:00 | The 6600 beats the x700 *Might* work with your PSU....prob should but am unsure |

| 756780 | 2009-03-15 08:02:00 | If you know the model no. of your PC or make/model you can find out. Otherwise, unscrew the thumbscrews at the back of the case, and slide out the side of the case. On the text of the PSU it'll say the wattage |

| 756783 | 2009-03-19 03:08:00 | Should I choose 9600XT 128MB or 9800PRO 128MB? I think they all beat my existing card but which one out of the two have better graphics? |
