RADEON 9800 XT 256MB AGP 300watt power supply???

I have only a 250 watt power supply, will that screw the card up?

can I get a 300 watt external & dedicate it to the RADEON 9800 XT 256MB AGP?

 

As far as I know, there is no such thing as an external power supply. What you'll need to do is get a bigger one. Something like a 400W should be good. At www.newegg.com they have a 420W Thermaltake PSU for $42. Or a 480W Thermaltake PSU for $56.

420W:

480W:

Maybe another 100 watt will help... http://www.us.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=9403&vpn=ATX-350W&manufacture=Others

 

Can't vouche for the quality of this POWMAX Demon 480W but hey, it's only $24.50.
