Dell 350 Watt and PNY GeForce 9600 GT 512-Anyone Have Problems?

Just received my PNY Geforce 9600 GT 512 card. Spoke to a tech at PNY and said needs 400Watt with 26 amp. Read somewhere that It runs fine on a dell 305 source. My power supply is a dell L35on-00. Says 350 watt can't read amps. It does have a six pin adapter to fit the card. Does anyone know if I will have any problems? Not a gamer. Appreciate the help.

I suspect that it will fry your PSU, if you attempt to power such hungry card together with rest of the computer... and if you are lucky, only the PSU dies. Usually, this is not the case and you pay with your GFX card as well, as with your mainboard. Even if the mainboard did not die immediatelly, there will be damage on the input caps done, witch you can't see ... and can measure only when you desolder and measure the caps first on VERY expensive ESR meter + capacitancy and then solder them back and try the PSU and then desolder them again and measure - again to determine the damage done by the PSU failure

Sorry, to sound a bit depresive, but 350W PSU is really laughable these days and old one on top of that - that will fry itself...

it shouldnt have any problems. I run a 4200x2 with a x1950pro on a cheapo 300watt acer power supply and it works... just that I wouldnt run the pc 24/7 (even on sleep) so it should work. If your planning any other upgrades like another hard drive or fans I would consider upgrading the psu but it should work for right now.
