Ok...I got this really old computer that I bought back in 2002, and I just want to upgrade it slightly so I can be able to play a few small games. So I was wondering when a GFx card says that it requires:
Minimum of a 250 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amps.)
Newegg.com - EVGA 128-A8-N319-LX GeForce FX 5500 128MB 64-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail
And checking the specs of my computer when I bought it:
Documentation
Would that mean that if I were to buy that specific card, my computer would not boot due to required higher current needed?
