Power Supply question...

[arunr]

I'm getting a XFX GeForce 6600 GT and i was wondering if my current Power Supply can handle it...

I have no ideas about the required specs.. would appreciate some help with this

I got the following specs off my current PS
Its a 350W JustPC AIX-350
+12V@17A, +5V@35A, +3.3V@28A, -5V@0.5A, -12V@0.5A, +5v/SB@2.0A

thanks...

Yes get a new one and make sure its a name brand

your current powersupply "might" work, it kinda depends on the rest of your system (ie. cpu, etc)

and even if it does seem to work you could very easily run into some stability problems.

for newer systems like athlon64 that also run high end graphics cards, i personally want a powersupply with around 25amp on the 12v rail

I am currently running an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ and ATI Radeon 9700Pro. No problems with power so far.

Is plugging the card in to test if its working going to damage anything?

I think both those cards are in the 60watt usage range, you should be fine.

Doesn't hurt to try.

xclio 450w if you're on a budget.
