My computer doesn't have the best of power supplies. But it was enough. The video card I just took out today needed approximately 1 1/2 times the power that my power supply was rated at. But my computer still ran. The new video card, which should be here on Tuesday, will use even less power. But I'm still ordering the new power supply, even though I probably won't need to use it. Just because when the power supply goes, you're out of a computer until you replace it. It's not like my video solution. I still have a Radeon HD 8500d solution, which isn't too shabby.
Lesson learned: make the best of what's around. But if there is a chance to improve, don't pass on it....
