If you are asking if your present PSU will power the new graphics card, I think it should. A 4890 might pull a couple more amps from the PSU. But in general, the power requirements are similar.

@ Boardchimp: Yes, the PSU should handle a HD4890.
One point though. The 8800 cards are all DX10 compliant, the DX10 problem my be caused by your operating system: You cannot use DX10 on XP it is Vista/Win7 only.
