Radeon and Power Supply

[Bill]

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

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

Recommended PSU is 350W and up.

Can get away with a bit less if you have very few Hardware devices hooked
up.
