    What other components are you running?

    Brands and model #’s are useful :

    your PSU should be more than fine to run a 7600GS, as your current grphics card uses more power as it is.

    hmm really? isnt it good too have a bit more over the min?

    since mine only provide 420, i would think having 500 would be nice

    It is always nice to have more power, but your only using 1 HD and a 1 gig of ram, you don't need that much power to run it :)

    hmmm does the 420 divide equally in all my units?

    not sure how watts work, i guess they spread equally

    The 7600GS uses less power than most cards out there from what I understand ;)
