Well, poop

Turns out the power supply in my computer (according to the little sticker on it), is rated for 350 W max, which, on a side note is interesting, because the video card recommends a 400 W power supply.

This means that either the new video card, whatever it may be, will have to have something along the same lines in power requirements OR I buy a new power supply when I get the video card (although I have no idea how difficult it is to replace a power supply) OR I get a video card that allows for an extra (external) power supply.

I suspect the latter may be the easiest way to handle it.

I'd also go somewhere in the 700W area.

*nod* I'm probably going to ask Jason for extra advice. I want to go the easiest route in terms of what I have to do to the computer, and since I'm not that good with hardware.....
