OK U smart B1 guys&gals, last time I was asking about a video card upgrade, and I've pretty much decided on an XFX GeForceFX 5200 w/128MB Memory. But upon reading the system requirements, it says I need a power supply of 250Watts or greater to run this card. My current PSU is only at 150 Watts I do believe. Now I'm not sure why it requires so much power and wattage to run, but I would rather just do what it says and upgrade my PSU first rather than take a risk and fry my system.

My system is a 4 yr old HP Pavilion 6630 500Mhz Processor 256/Memory and so on. What I need to know.......where can I find a decent upgrade that will definitly fit into my computer thats gonna be easy on the wallet.

Ok, comments and/or suggestions plz. Serious replies only plz. Last time everyone told me to just build a new system rather than answer the original question. I'm not in a position to spend huge amounts on new/used computer componets. if I could, I'd be doing that right now.

Thanks for any help or recommendations.
