    hi guys im going to upgrade an old pc of mine. I want to put a graphics card in there. It has an agp slot so i was looing around and figured id get a ati radeon 9600. It looks like this pc has all the specs needed except one thing. I've looked around and cant seem to find the reccomended power supply to support this card. The pc has a 250w power supply which i hope is enough. So if anyone can confirm with me about this that be great.

    The 9600 doesn't use much power. A 250 should be fine.
