My simple question is will a Geforce4 Ti4200 work on my 180W PSU. I only have 2 optical drives a HDD and a Floppy thanks for your help.

Oh yes one last question if my PSU can handle that card what do you think is the best card my PSU can handle?for example I'm viewing this geforce4 ti4400 will my PSU handle that one?

I think you might need a better psu...i got my 480w Thermaltake PSU for $50 at Newegg.

Ti4400 uses the Ti4200 GPU they are similar to each other. If a 180w psu can handle a ti4200 then it *might* be able to handle the 4400.

if you dont want your pc to set alight i suggest you go and buy a decent sized psu atleast a 350 watt more if you want to be futureproof

either your pc won't turn on, or it will. 180W is nothing these days, I don't think you're PC will be able to boot due to insufficient power.

GeForce FX5200 128Mb
AMD Barton 2800 @ 2.3Ghz
Asus A7N8X E-Deluxe
AERO 7 LITE CPU fan
512 DDRAM PC2700

Why wouldnt it work it doesnt have no special connectors looks just like my tnt2???...

It requires a different voltage, go with a psu greater than or equal to 350w.

Oh dang it are you sure? will a Geforce3 ti500 work with my PSU?thanks for the help!

A Geforce 256 is probably recomended for a 180w PSU, PSU are really cheap, have seen decent 400w for $30

Here we go again! lol

Wattage isn't the only factor to look at when buying a PSU. You have to look at how the amps are distributed over the various rails...especially the +12v. Here's a great site that explains what to look for & why:

12v@18a for $50 shouldn't be that bad..
the ones with 12v@30a~ are around $100 so I can't afford them anyways
