| 435952 | 2006-03-06 03:43:00 | Im seriously considering getting a radeon x1600 256mb agp gfx card. I was just wondering whether my puny 350w psu would be up to the task. the dude at the shop said it should be OK. maybe he just wants my $$$. i wanted 2 know wat you guys think of this. | jason_f90 (3544) | ||
| 435953 | 2006-03-06 04:06:00 | You can look for yourself shop.ati.com The 512mb card is recommended to be used with a 350 W power supply or greater. If it doesnt work you probaly have a cheap psu. | CenC (8667) | ||

Hell yes, the last thing you want is for your enitre rig to go up in smoke because your PSU was delivering a crappy supply of juice to the system. Have a look here (www.overclockers.co.nz) for some good branded PSU... personally I would suggest an Enermax or Thermaltake product. The golden rule for PSU's is Quality is more important than price. cheers chiefnz PS: yes you're probably right about the guy at the store just wanting your money. |
