i would recomend you upgrade your power supply unit to 300 Watts. By using a 250 power supply, and that the card needs 300w of power, you are putting a strain on the card, the power supply, and the whole entire pc. You are also putting all of those in danger of being blown. Just take the safe side and upgrade! Better safe than sorry!:smileywink:

people in this forum run 6600gts and 6800's with a 250watt psu so a 6200 works fine

i've seen it happen before. A friend had an hp pavilion, he put a video card in that required a 350watt power supply, he had a 200 watt. It blew the power supply, motherboard and processor. He threw out the machine, and went with dell.:smileyhappy: besides the point is that dont strain the power supply. :smileywink: I leave the decision up to you.

Upgrade board is for upgrades to your system, such as power supply, hard drives, etc
Video board is for the video cards
Monitor board are for the monitors
And so on for all the boards listed.
damian, you don't need to post numerous times on different boards. This is called spamming, and violation of the terms of service. One board is enough for the same subject. You have been answered now a number of times. You will be fine..... Now, go get the card and install it

Aww come on ravik. Don't be a n00b. HP puts low quality PSU's in there computers and they don't have that odd rating system like dell does.
