Power supply
What is a good power supply wattage for use with a Geforce 4 card?

My computer only came with a 250W supply, is that sufficent?

I think that would be sufficient for a Geforce 4 card, but you probably want at least 300W+ for anything higher.

I would go with a 400W for the latest video cards, you don't want your power supply dying on you.
