jst a handy link, I know with today's uber l33t systems out there, stable power can be an issue...

as a rule of thumb, I always go 100watts above, this more than compensates for any spur of the moment upgrades that might happen...

use it, dont use it :D

no offence but thats pretty much useless for most people coz it only has AGP gfx cards

There actually won't be that much difference in power consumption between AGP and PCI-E devices, so long as they are the same class GPU.

ya i know but u cant compare a X1900XTX power consumption with a X800

that would be a beeeeg mistake ;)
