ATI Radeon 9700 Pro AIW Power Req?

J

Jonathan Appleseed

ATI recommends a 300W power supply for the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro AIW, but
I am wondering if that is valid in newer systems. Can an Antec 350W PSU
(SL350) handle the Radeon with these components? Athlon 64 3000+ CPU
1 GB (2x512MB) RAM
ATA-100 HD
16x DVD Recorder
16x DVD-ROM

It will probably run it, but it is pushing it. Probably better off to
get a bigger supply for the long run.

Try this:- http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
It gives about 300W requirement, so you should be OK.
