Help with GRAPHX CARD QUESTIONS

[Sutekh3]

Hello, I bought a Radeon X1600 Pro AGP 512 MB.

It says that it has a plug that is required to be plugged into the Power supply.
Does anyone know what this is for?
Will I know how to plug in this plug?
Do I need a special adapter that I need to buy elsewhere?
I have a 420 W Manhattan PSU... Is that sufficient?

Is 1 gig of RAM sufficient?
Is 512 MB of RAM sufficient?

These are the questions if anyone could answer them would be appreciated a lot

When you install the Video card you have to attach the power plug cable from the Graphic card to the Power supply.

It is the same connector , basically like any normal power socket like that of a cd rom etc.

You need to plug the graphic cards power connector into the PSU your graphic card should come with a instruction booklet or just google it or read any recent vcard reviews they generally have pictures

Your power supply is sufficent ,
Your ram is sufficent

You will not need windows Cd
