GeForce4 Power Supply Question

Hi all, I think I'm going to run out and pick up a GeForce4 Ti4400 or 4600.

I'm running an Athlon XP1700+ on Soyo Dragon+ SY-K7V, and I've got a vanilla GeForce3, and I've had no problems. I'm using an EnerMax full tower case with a 330watt power
supply. If I upgrade to a GeForce4, will I have any power problems? Will 330watts be enough to handle all of this? Please reply quickly, the stores close soon! :)

Well, Visiontek recommends a 300 power supply minimum for GF4 cards, but I'd go over that a bit for it to run stably. I think you sould be ok as long as you aren't o/cing.

330 is awful close, long as your not running an abundance of stuff in your case you should be fine. 300 is the minimum...i run it on 350 with a ton of fans and stuff etc...and it runs just fine when overclocked.
