[QUOTE="sara l, post: 442948"] Ok, so i did all kinds of research, and have it down to two cards... I know which one I really want. BUt It says it requires a minimum 300 Watt power, And I know for a fact THat i have exactly a 300 watt power supply, But i fear if i put it in, it may make my computer run funky... THe other card requires a min 250 watt, but its really crappy compared to the other one. I'd like to get the newer one, but don't know. I went to some sites that had a caculator on them that adds up the watt usage I already use, but it requried a lot of fine details. (About my computer, its vgc-rb30 [sony] with 1.5 gb ram [4 slots] p4 with ht, dvd rw, cd rom) [/QUOTE]
