hi there
I have mobility 9200 :

when I install drivers it acts like my onboard graphics (lags for hd video playback.
I think its power supply (150 watts) should I upgrade?
+never installed a gpu before(using s3)
+motherboard supports agp4x ,so is this one a type of 4x or 8x ?????????
+I bought gpu many years ago ,and afew weeks ago I understood its a fake one(written geforce fx5500 on devices info)
+the setup cd which comes with gpu turns windows to blank after loading & couple of sec later a blue error screen appear hw failture,so I used hw detector/installer app to install correct ati drivers
+also tried another ati radeon 7000 nothing but the same result
+tomorrow I'm going to buy geforce fx5200 128 mb (agp8x) should
sorry if its too long , your my last hope

I think 300w would be a good idea with an fx5200 if you're planning to play hd videos. 300w is only like $20 anyway so as long as you get an Antec brand you should be fine.
