Hey Guys, been away for a while.
Needed everyone's advice on some Power consumption issues.
My buddy wants to upgrade the memory and video card on his Dell Optiplex GX400
His current configuration is:
1.7 P IV
256MB (2x128MB) RDRAM PC600 ECC
20GB IBM Deskstar
160GB Western Digital
DVD-ROM
CD-RW
128 ATi Rage 16MB
250 Watt Power Supply
We bought the RDRAM PC600 ECC 2x128.
And I was wondering which Graphics card to get but am worried about whether his power supply will be able to handle it. His budget isnt very lavish and I was thinking on the lines of a nice 9600 pro or NV5700
Thoughts and Advice please ?
