Shuttle SN95G5 w/ 240 watt PS + 7600 GS

[basalt51]

I'm looking for a replacement for my 9800 Pro in my shuttle SN95G5v2 but it only has a 240 watt power supply. Could it run one of these (http://www.mwave.com/mwave/Sku...hmx?scriteria=4272963) or even a 7600GT? I'm looking for somethign quiet hence the fanless GS. What would be the best card it oculd run and would it be worth upgrading to from a 9800pro?

Thanks

Any ideas? I can't sem to find the power requirements for the card.

The PS is as follows:

+12v - 16A
+5Vsb - 2A
-12V - 0.3A
+3.3V - 16A
+5V - 19A

Thanks

I'm not overclocking anything and I"m running 1gig RAM, one hardrive, one DvD, and Athlon 64 3000+ chip, and windows XP home if any of that matters.

Should work I think. My old nameless power supply that came with the case was 400w I think, with 16a on the 12v rail, and I ran a 7600gs with it just fine.

Wattage won't be the issue, but amperage may be.

16A on the +12V is pretty light.

You could try it, but i'll admit i personally wouldn't feel that comfortable with that.

If it's stable though, that's all that matters.

It'll be fine. 7600GS ain't gonna draw crap.

Thanks all. For the price I think I'll just give it a try until I can replace the whole thing! The fan on my 9800 is drving me nuts!

Anyone know if most more modern cards are quieter than the old Radeon 9800? Just thinking ahead

Update: Ended up with the XFX 7600GT instead of the GS since it was less than $100 after rebate. Works great. No issues at all.
