my new GeForce 7600GT

i finally got my geforce 7600GT and it requires atlesat 350W. but my current power supply is only 300W.... everything esle does meet the requirement...

so until i get the new poewr supply, can i still use this video card with my current power supply?

sorry but what's PSU?

it may work but dont do any heavy gaming.

and try for a newer psu a.s.a.p.

it may work ok
but you might run into crashes or reboots.

then again you might not.

the worst thing that can happen is it will burn something up.

though the 76gt doesnt require a lot of power.

its just up too you.

you should be able to get a psu that will work fine for
around 30$ or so.

i was able to find my current PSU at newegg.com:

it's a HIPRO model: HP-D3057F3R

I had the same concern when I bought my X1600Xt a year ago. I also had a 300 W PSU and the specs said it needed a 350W.
I asked Sapphire about it and they told me it should be fine on a 300W as long as I wasn't running additional drives and taxing the PSU otherwise.
I have a DVD dive, a DVD RW and the other basics a PC needs to run.
I have had no issues at all in the year I've had it and play HL2, Garcry, Painkiller and COD 2. All of which are pretty intense games relatively speaking. You sound like the same kind of gamer with a modest system so I wouldn't worry too much. The 7600 Gt has similar, low power requirements.
