Power supply help

well ill give it a try with the 250 bc i dont get paid again after friday for another 2 weeks, and im school so im working weekends, case will be like a full paycheck.

what sorta power supply would i need i got 250, 2.8 presscot, 512 of ram will that work all right on this card? it says somewhere the card takes up 85 watts

oh yeah what do you think of the card i decided not to go with Ati or Nvidia and get a professional i'm getting it with 512 megs of memory :thumbup: :bucky!:

I decided that its really not worth it

ive been thinking about getting this with the amd 3000+ 64 bit or getting the intel equievelent with an intel 2.8Extreme Ghz prescott
it has a 300 watt power supply and i wont have to work around this old ass gateway case.
what do you think?


lol whoops just realised that doesnt have an amd 64 version,
either intel prescot version or amd athlon xp verson

the prescot is motherboard SOYO via pt800 chipset and the amd athlon motherboard is SOYO kt600 chipset
so either should i go for what i said at the begining of this forum, or for the barebone case with a 2.8E pentium4 prescot HT or same case with a amd AXP 3000+ Barton, and get a cooling fan to overclock

teh 3000+ outperfroms even an overclocked 3.6GHZ EE edition in games.

Other then that, go for at least 350.

Same price, 400 watt

sepht, first off , your the man, but second off, im only guna buy a case if its a barebone and comes with a motherboard, otherwise i wont be able to afford both a motherboard and processor. so ur post didnt help... thanks for trying but whats say you redeem urself with a better alternative. more specificaly one of the ones i listed, and check my last post for the edit

Go for the P4, its more of a safe investment then the barton is for performance, also, P4s overlcok pretty well themselves.

i noticed there wasn't a video card in the setup in my opinion it doesn't matter how goog you prossecor is you won't be able to play games that well with out a video card i'm pretty sure ram and graphics cards make a more of a difference to gameplay but i'm just sugesting

i already have ram and a graphics card, butthole. read the initial post. 512mb of ddr that my curent motherboard cant use, and a 8xagp card in my motherboards 4x agp slot. its only a GeForceFX5200 256mb but UT2k4 awesome, especialy concidering its paired with 128mb rdram and a 1.3ghz processor.
