I checked on ATI's website, and the radeon 4670 requires a 400 W PSU.
However, a friend of mine would like to install it on a Dell Inspiron 530, whcih has a 300W PSU with 18A on the 12v rail. He has a Pentium Dual Core 2.2 GHz, 3 GB of ram, a harddrive and a DVD-ROM. I think 18A would be enough, since this card isn't a power hog (it doesn't have an auxiliary power connector). Moreover, Dell offers the 4670 as an option when customizing the PC for online purchase. So, will it work fine?

I stuck a 4670 in my friends Dell 250 watt PSU and it ran perfectly smooth.

I read something that Dell measures their power supplies at average wattage instead of peak. The recommendation of 400W used by the board makers is peak. The Dell can easily handle that.
