| 696009 | 2008-08-09 01:29:00 | I might have been a bit rash. I just bought a Radeon HD4850 PCI-E card after reading the PC World review, and only after the event have discovered that the recommended power supply is at least 450w. My power supply is a Zalman ZM400B 400w unit. Does this mean I am snookered, or will I only have a problem if I am really pushing the video card? I also have to get a power connector adapter, but that's another story. | Tony (4941) | ||

| 696011 | 2008-08-09 02:42:00 | ASUS M2N-MX mobo, Athlon 64X2 4400+, 4gB RAM, 2 x 250gB Seagate Barracuda HDD, ASUS DVD-RW drive. Win Vista Business. I think that just about covers it. |

| 696012 | 2008-08-09 03:46:00 | Get another PSU. | pctek (84) | ||
| 696013 | 2008-08-09 03:50:00 | Get another PSU.Clearly that's an option - but is it unavoidable? If I do need to get another PSU, any recommendations? Quiet is a high requirement for me. |
