Yes, I just recently purchased the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT for my computer because let's face it my factory intergrated chipset for HP model number: m8200n Media Center just wouldn't cut it for playing games. I just had it installed by a local tech here and it told me that my 300 watt supply would work fine with it. But I have others telling me I need at least a 500 watt for it to work properly. I'm clueless at this time of thing. Any and all help will def. make my day! Thanks!

How many amps do you have on the 12v rails?

A quality 300watt PSU with enough amps can run it...if it's a crap PSU, then you will need at least a 500watt crap PSU.

Thats the thing, I don't know how to find that out. All I know is it is 300 watts power supply, and what manufactor/model number it is with reg. specs. Is there any way someone can look that up for me based on the information I have given like my model number?

The sticker on the side of the power supply will list the +12v rails. Tell us how many +12 rails there are and how many amps on each.

O'kay I opened up the tower and looked on the power supply unit. I hope I got all the info I needed.

Combined Power on +12V + +5V Rails not exceed 268W

It also has a Cooler Master near the graphics card, etc.
