I'm running a 350W Antec Power Supply, 1 gig of ram (two 512's) and an AMD
2500 Barton. If I go Radeon will I need to up my PS?

Thanks,
Bill

9700 (heavily O/C'd to 390) 3 SCSI drives and 3 optical drives

Should have atleast 28 amps on the 3.3 volt rail and 16 amps on the 12 volt
rail for an AMD system
 
Pentium is more forgiving
