Hey everyone
I'm new to the forum...looks like a great place to help me with this problem I have.
I have a Dell Dimension Desktop 4700; it came with a 3ghz HT processer, 512mb dual channel memory, and an ati radeon x300.
i've since upgraded to 4x512mb sticks and to upgrade to a Saphire Radeon X800

On one of the comments a customer says: " This is just to prevent anyone else from making my mistake. This is a great card, but it's powered and per ATI's tech site requires at LEAST 22 Amps on the 12 volt Rail. I bought a Powmax PSU rated ...
at 450W and thought it would be good enough, but it only delivered 17A on the 12V rail. I have since bought a CoolMax 550W PSU that delivers 35A onthe 12V rail and have not had a single problem since. Hope this helps at least someone out."
Can my power supply support this card? (305 watts)
heres the info on the power supply:
