I have a dell dimension 4100, and I am thinking about getting a new video card, possibly a geforce4 ti4200. But I saw that that video card is supposed to have a 350W power supply. Dell says my comp only has a 200W supply. Is this going to cause a problem, or will I not notice anything? Currently I have a nvidia tnt2 card and everything is fine. Thanks in advance.

I had to upgrade from a 300W when I upgraded to a G4 Ti4600 from a G2 MX400. My box is a 1.4 Athlon with 512 ram. It ran fine with the G2 but after the G4 I had spuradic reboots or lockups. After getting an Enermax 431W I am running like a dream.
