Has anyone tried an 4670HD on a 305 Watt PSU or less. If so did it work or not. Also which brand did you use. I have 305 Watt PSU for a Dell E510 and a Pentium 4 HT 3.00 GHZ and a 3 Gigg DDR2 Memory and a PCI x16 slot. Which brand would be the best . (which has the best cooling, best fan, and is the most quite, etc.) Do not include price into consideration best buy unless it is 30 dollars or more (I do not care, i rather spend that extra money and get a good brand). And I need a one slot card. I think the HIS is the 2 slot one and that would not fit.

Hi, I havent actually run one but can tell you the following.
Dell PSU's are pretty good, better than a standard OEM part certainly.
The PCIE slot on your Motherboard supplies 75 Watts to the card and the card dosent need any extra power connections.
The card HD4670 dosent use nearly 75 Watts anyway. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/powercolor-pcshd4670-512mb_5.html#sect0
Im not up on which cards are out but would go for the best bundle deal or warranty.
