i have a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 AGP 4X currently installed in my pc, also i have a computer profile summary with everything from motherboard specs, os, processor type and size, current and available memory, main circuit board details, you name it, its on it, " but i can't see the wattage anywhere" i've had the case off but there's nothing on or near the power supply, i have seen low wattage figures on certain small components but they are no where near the power supply, i think there just individual figures and nothing to do with powering the complete unit.

True, the power supply wattage figure is the amount of power the supply is capable of producing for all components in total. If your individual components, for example, require, when added together, a total of 200 watts then a 300 watt power supply would be more than adequate.
I didn't do it......and if I did I'm not guilty!

Well done Dave I remember when my hubby got my new graphics card... he gave me the box and said intstall it.... I got a great buzz out of doing it right first time Mind you, going back years when he first built pc's (12 years ago), the power switch had to be wired up seperately and he would Never do it... I had to!! Didn't blow a single one up!! Tig
