ATI recommends a 300W PS for their 9800 line of video cards.
The machine I'd like to put it in is a Dell 4600 with a 250W PS.
I've read some threads that Dell under rates their PS, so a 250 is really more like a 350.

I've estimated my wattage at around 275 currently by just guestimating my components wattage.
I currently have a gainward gf3 ti 200 and everything is running fine.
Should I be concerned about this ?
