Alrighty, My other topic got extended too much to the point where this should really have been its own topic, as it is now.
So, I got a GeForce 6800 GS video card. Only my computer is a Shuttle XPC SS51G v2.0 like on
http://eu.shuttle.com/archive/en/ss51g_faq.htm. Its only got a 200W power supply, and i heard that the card requires a 350W power supply. Even more specifically i heard it needs 18A on the 12V Line.
First off, i'd just like to confirm that information, and perhaps a brief explanation, or redirection as to why my video card requires me to upgrade my power supply. I mean, before i knew this i ran my shuttle with the video card in it and it started up and everything, it seemed fine.
(for those who follow my posts i disconnected the cd drive to plug it in. which is the only reason i found out i needed a greater power supply when i was finding out if i could just get a splitter)
Second, my problem is that from looking, shuttle power supplys don't get that high. Does this mean that i can't run my video card on my shuttle?
Thank you
