Power supply

[sk8 bloke87]

Is there any way to find out how power your mobo supplies without looking into your computer? I'm getting a new graphics card and it needs at least 250w. Please help as i don't want to unplug everything and open up my computer. Not now, at least..........I'm feeling lazy : )

If you look at the size of the psu from the outside of the case you should be able to see roughly what the power rating is. If the psu is normal size it will be about 300w or higher. If it is a small one designed for FlexATX and BabyAT then it will be 150w or more. But if you ask me you are one of the laziest perople i know cos you can't be bothered to look into your computer.
