How does my 9600gt work?

I bought a 9600gt 5 months ago but was gonna return it because i saw on the box it said "400 Watt Minimum" but my computer only had "280 Watt." I took it and installed it in my computer. I turned it on and it worked fine. So I just continued to use it. Since then I've had no problems what so ever. How is this possible.

P.S. - On my power supply, it says "280 Watt MAX OUTPUT."

How is this possible??

The 400W is a suggestion. The graphics card will at most draw 150W (75w from the PCIe slot, and 75W from the 6 pin power). Combine that with the rest of your system and you could be under 280W, especially if you don't load the card a lot.
