SLI power supply question....

[Kingofdestruction]

Hi there, I am currently using A64 3200+ cpu with Asus NF4 SLI Motherboard. I also have a 6600GT vid card. I now want to run 2x6800GT. I am just wondering if my 420W power supply is sufficient or it is better to get a 500W+ Power Supply?

Thanks for the help

whats the brand of your 420psu

still if its a good brand its pushing it

Yeah, it really depends on the brand and specs.

If it's generic, don't even try. It's not worth it with the risk of possibly killing your whole system.

what are the amps on each rail? should be listed in a little chart on the side of your psu

I doubt it. You should get an OCZ Power Stream 520 or 600 watt.
