I have a spare Compaq Evo D510 here at the office, which comes with a 220W PS, that I already used an Asus N6800 in. I returned that card and ordered this EVGA 400MHz/1100MHz 6800GS.

Do you think this thing will suck that much more juice than the N6800 I was running earlier today? The desktop has a P4 2.4, 2x512MB, 80GB EIDE, DVD-ROM.
I successfully ran 3dMark03 with the N6800 (~5,500), so I know that it can run with the N6800 under a bit of a load. Anyone know if these 2 cards draw drastically different amount of power?
The power supply is an odd shape, so this nice spare 430W I have won't even fit properly (it would be a real hack job). So incase this card turns out to be too much for the PS, anyone know of a place that sells upgraded/compatible power supplies for HP/Compaq business desktops?
