I have a Rosewill case w/ 400W PS. Running a AMD kuma 95w cpu, 1 sata hard drive, 1 IDE dvd drive, foxconn MB, 4 gigs of ram, vista. Will I be able toadd the 4770 to my pci-e slot and run it stable?

Depends on what the specs of your power supply are. You need to know the Amps or Watts on the +12v Rail/s

Let me know if you get any results. I will be doing a similar process with a 4770 with a 350 w PSU with a quad processor and 4 gb ram. So if you test it out I would love to know what happened. If you dont I will let you know what I find out when I install it within the next month.
