Im sure you mean 2600XT.

You can look at the recommended wattage and amperages for cards when shopping for them. You probably dont what the bare minimum however.

Oh i see what you mean. But his PSU is only 450W i think thats the factor in his decision. The 2900 is a power hog.

I think i will grap a Nvidia 8600 GTS. OR if 2900XT really could be supported, i might consider that one.
My PC only has basic hardwares which are:

intel D965LT mobo
1 gb 533 ddr2 ram
80GB hdd ( another 250GB external/portable hdd)
a CD rom ( i use external/portable dvd rom )
Asus X1659 pro 256mb ddr2
450 watt power supply

That's all i got in my cpu.. I will only come to the budget part when i know which cards can fix in :) and i think cards sold in my country are expensive.
