Will My Antec TruePower 430 run a BFG 7800 GS

[Amused]

Intel Pentium 4 3200MHz @ 3600MHz
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
Antec TruePower 430 Watt

(rest of the current specs in my rigs link)

I'm reading about PS issues with this card. Anyone have any experience with this card and PS combination?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, I know I could upgrade to a PCI-e system. But I'm trying to get another year or so of life out of this system.

Yes, it will run.

Ouch, old P4, my head hurts thinking so far back.....

Just do a full system upgrade Q1 07 with a DX10 card and Core 2 Duo CPU.

LOL!!! I want to upgrade, but can't justify the price right now. I got the 7800GS for $175 at Newegg.

And it doesn't seem all that long ago when I built this system and it was about the fastest thing you could buy.

Anyhow, I figure I'll build a new top end system next xmas.

Thanks for the heads up on the PS, though. I was a little worried with all the reports of PS problems.

Nice, but I got the 7800GS for $175. I don't want to spend anymore on a system that's going to be retired in a year (or sooner if the itch gets any worse).

The 7800GS is already in transit.

You'd make a good drug dealer, though.
