Graphics card question Presario 5000 5WV254
I'm thinking about getting a new graphics card for the Presario 5000
5WV254 with Windows ME that I purchased in November 2000. There are two of the card's requirements that I'm not sure my PC meets and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me: (1) How to determine the wattage of my PC's power supply? (The card I'm looking at requires a minimum 250W power supply.) (2) How to know whether or not the UWave motherboard in my PC is "AGP 2.0 or higher compliant"? Thank you! Nevans |

1. No. Your power supply is 200 watts.
2. If you mean AGP 2x compliant, yes. HH "Nevans" wrote in message .. . I'm thinking about getting a new graphics card for the Presario 5000 5WV254 with Windows ME that I purchased in November 2000.

Thanks HH. I'm kinda glad 'cause I was stretching the truth with myself
anyway about thinking I could afford (or even need) the card. So knowing that I'd need a new power supply settles the issue easily.
