Sup...first post...been browsing here for a couple o weeks...
I'm getting a new graphics card for christmas, a 2600 xt gddr4, for use in my computer. since my parents bought it for me, it's a store-bought hp they got for less than $500 i think (maybe $400). its the HP a1744x as stock essentially..except vista home business (pfft) replaced with xp pro. If i add the 2600 xt will it run? btw, if anything, i only play cs 1.6, tf2 when i get it, warcraft III, etc. nothing crysis-like. i think the PSU is 300 or 350w, with i think 19a on 12v rail. X2 5200 1 GB RAM 1 DVD/CD Drive Linksys Wireless PCI Card Ethernet/Modem PCI card?? 320 GB HD currently, Geforce 6150 garbage integrated If it isn't enough, i'm looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817194015, an enermax 485w with 22a on 2 12v rails. i know thats not 44a, its less, but itd still easily run my setup. im kinda cheap, yea, thats why im not getting a 3850/8800 gt or a pc power&cooling....i'd rather not get a psu now, will have to come out of my no-income pocket. i may end up replacing psu as well as putting a 2x1 GB kit of RAM next year for my bday. advice appreciated. happy holidays |

The stock PSU that come in your system should be fine for GPU that does NOT require external power connector ( HD2600XT, 8600GT, etc. > )
Also give this a second look: http://www.jonnyguru.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1460

It should be plenty for a 2600XT in that system imho.
