Default RE: Im so excited

I think you need a better power supply than that. The 192 they reccomend won't do anything in games or graphics intensive apps. My 450W barely ran the card I had (before it blew up). Mine was a Radeon X1600 pro 512mb. Good card, but it's an energy hog and it had heat problems (which made it blow up even with a zalman fan and arctic silver 5). Other than that card, my config wasn't very power demanding either, but it's still good to have extra power if you wanna get more fans or more perepherals etc.
