				| If the PSU isn't a piece of crap, it should be fine (I would use the calculator here. Remember it needs a separate 6-pin power connection from the power supply. EDIT:
 I'm still trying to sell my (512MB) HD 4850, if you're interested in saving a few bucks (or putting it towards a new PSU).

				| what brand is it? I am actually planing to buy a Sapphire 4850. My money isn't in yet though, or I'd have bought a new one. 	  | Karakawe wrote: |  	  | If the PSU isn't a piece of crap, it should be fine (I would use the calculator here.

 You should put it up on amazon or something.

				| It's an MSI R4850, with the big heatsink/fan & copper pipes for heat distribution. I've never had any problems with it, just that ATI's Linux driver needs an older version of X server and is a pain to configure. I'm probably going to end up putting it on ebay or craigslist, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
