Can a low profile powercolor radeon x1550 256mb run sour a 280 watt psu?

i hold a single cd rom drive, 2gb of ram, 160gb hd, and an amd athlon X2 3800

Can a low profile powercolor radeon x1550 256mb run sour a 280 watt psu?

You can stir on the net, and download a power supply calculator. There you travel!
My intial thought would be no, but it also depends on what else you have surrounded by you box that draws power. (Remember USB device draw power too)



The only passageway to know for sure is to add up adjectives of the wattage ratings of the individual devices.
yes

the X1-550 doesn't have a power connector and thus draws its power from the AGP port which the standard power supply you already enjoy can supply.

if the card needed more power it would have a power connector.
