A Ti4200 <i>can</i> run on a 250 watt psu! Installed one in my friend's Dell, he has 2.0Ghz P4, 256MB RD, and now a Ti4200 and it runs fine.

All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening.

so is that the fastest that can run in a microatx system?
I want to build one but it has a 220watt PSU, the antec minuet to be exact.

Dell's power supplies are rated at nominal (continuous) load, not peak. A 250W Dell should output around 300W peak.

I am not sure to be honest. I haven't tried something that uses more power, and we stripped his system, all he has are the proc, mobo, sound card, vid card, 1 cd burner (8x), and 1 hdd. That's it. O, and of course a few fans and leds for power on, hdd being read, etc.

my setup would be a microatx nforce2, using all the integrated for a long time, just mem/cpu/HD.. I doubt I'd even put a cdrom just install everything over the network.
No floppy either, use my USB floppy drive if needed. :smile:
But a microatx system like that would be so nice for lans (not that i go much), or visits to friends houses for those mini lans.

It'd get handme down GPUs anyway, probably my GF3 if I dont like it in my P4.
But a 4200 would be great news if it would work on a 220watt.

A Radeon 9600 NP and Pro use very little power due to the 4 pipelines and 0.13 micron process. They might work on a 220W PSU.

I fail to see what is amazing. It's quite normal that it can run on 250W.
nVidia only recommends 300W+ for FXs, like ATi.
