ok i bought a shuttle mini box case with the mother board and a 250w
PSU i droped 400 bucks into it. in runs fr a bit and freezes, the
problem: the 9600xt and the athlon 64 bit 3000+ together take about
300w under full load, hence y it frooze during xp install.

so can anyone tell me what the bigest video card i can use will be?
the card can only draw 100w of power, which is still cutting it close.


i was thinkin a:

Rosewill RW5500-256D Geforce FX5500 256MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video
Card - Retail

will that work?thanks for reading please reply.

Why not just drop in a bigger PSU?
