I had a cheap 250W PSU that I was using when my 400W went out.
I had ordered a 520W, but while I was waiting, my GF4 Ti4400 came in.
I had a GF3 ti200 which worked fine with the 250W, but when I
installed the GF4 Ti4400, all I got was a screen with "garbage" across
it. I had to wait till the 520W PSU to come in before I could find out
if it was thee PSU, or the card that was the problem. It was the PSU.
If you have a good PSU, it may still push the card, but you
really won't know till you try it.

You will strain the components of your computer, including the video card,
and possibly burn something out.
