Will this run on my psu?

[aznstriker92]

Hi people,
Well my friend has a compaq Evo D510 with a 220watt psu.
He wants to get a 9800pro but is not sure if it will run safely.
The specs of the 220watt psu is not known but I am pretty sure it has one 12v rail and 10-15 amps maybe?

Anyways any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
Personally I've run a X600 on a Dell 150 watt psu but I want to make sure......

Under what circumstances is your friend purchasing a 9800PRO? That card is incredibly outdated.

I ran a 9700 AIW on a 200w with a P4, so he should be ok.

i ran a 9800 pro for years with a psu that had 10 amps....so you should be ok....but keep an eye on it...

if you have 15, you are good to go.....

well you see he is on a budget and cannot buy a new computer or upgrade other parts. He also has a AGP slot so PCIexpress is impossible.
He buying a 9800pro from a store in Ebay. $70 I believe. I checked it out, it looks real. The store has good reviews also.
