Q: I purchased a GeForce 8500 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Low Profile Video Card. I have a s3500f hp slimline computer, and I found out it only has 160w of power. I did find a power supply that would fit that is 200w, but I'm not sure thats even enough! The place I can get it from insisted that it was the highest wattage that would fit in my computer. Any advice?Does anyone know how much power it takes to run a low profile card??
A: The 8500 runs off of the power supplied through the PCIEx16 slot. Your power supply is fine.
