OK, so I have a gateway sx2800. here are the specs:
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q8200 (2.33GHz, 4MB L2 cache, 1333MHz)
Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500
Intel® G43 Express Chipset + ICH10
4GB DDR3 SDRAM
640GB SATA hard drive (1)
18x DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti Drive featuring Labelflash™ Technology (2)
Multi-in-one digital media card reader
Windows® Vista Home Premium 64 bit
10/100/1000 (Gigabit) LAN
9 USB 2.0 ports (5 front / 4 rear)
1 IEEE 1394a port (front, mini)
1 eSATA port (rear)
1 HDMI port (rear)
1 VGA port (rear)
High-definition audio with 6-channel (5.1) audio support
The power supply is only 220 watts. So here is my question.
I just bought this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102829 and from what im reading it works perfect in this system. Im not sure how much power it consumes from the psu or if it just runs from the motherboard as there is no extra connection required. I plan to install this card when it arrives. What I need to know is, do you think i could take the modem out of the other pcie slot and replace it with this tv tuner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6815116037 because i have no idea how much power a tv tuner will pull from the psu, if any. If i cannot run this card and the graphics card i ordered, any suggestions on a tv tuner that would work with this setup? Because i have checked everywhere for an upgrade to the power supply and so far no luck as nothing will fit. Any help would be apreciated. thanks,
Jr
