How much wattage would I need for an AGP card of this? I have 330 Watts...would I need more?

Also, Im convinced that a 6600gt would be bottlenecked by this PC. But my little brother is adamant he get a new card. The older PC is a P4 1.4 Ghz, 512 mb ram, 330W PSU. Can anyone recommend a good video card for this?

    He needs a mobo/cpu upgrade a lot more in that old skool 1.4 P4 than just a vid card and psu. A 1.4 P4 Willie is about equal in performance to a 1.0 Tbird AMD or P3 1.0 proc(if even that good). The Williamette processor was a piss-poor excuse of a processor, especially the first ones like that 1.4. Putting a 6600GT would be throwing good money after bad.

    yeah...i would seriously consider getting a socket 939 mobo and a 3000+ or something along those lines, that p4 will choke with all that power....but back to the topic, i would get at least a 400+ watt power supply from someone reputable, antec is usually a good choice.
