Upgrade Questions

[JE78]

Here are my current specs:

P4 2.53GHz 533FSB
512 PC2700 333MHz
Motherboard: http://www.rlmgroup.com/produc...herboards/GA8SG667.htm
Case: http://www.enermax.com.tw/prod...amp;Gid=29&Gid2=18
350 Watt PS
Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb
Maxtor 60gb HDD 7200rpm
Westren Digital 200gb HDD 7200rpm
NEC 3500a DVD-RW
16x DVD-ROM
Sound Blaster Live 5.1
ATI TV Wonder VE


I want to upgrade my video card to a 9800 but i'm not sure if my PS will allow it. I'm also thinking of upgrading the Mobo but not sure what my case will allow it. Could someone point me in the right direction and let me know of anything else I should upgade? Thanks.

Your motherboard supports 8x agp, so that won't be a problem. If it's a good power supply and you have an extra 4pin connector, that shouldn't be a problem either.

Thanks.

Most mobos should fit into your case (fits P4 ATX mainboards so says the link). Also, the brand of your PSU will really decide if it can power the 9800 pro...

I think its a Enermax PS. It came with the case.

The ATI cards are not as power hungry as the Nvidia cards. You should be fine.

It should be quite sufficient.
