Re: Ati Radeon x850 platinum and Medal of Honor - Airborne

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem. Started with MOH Airborne Assault, same message about video card. Eventhough mine works fine, I thought it might be time to upgrade to a better card. Bought an ATI x1650 Pro video card and noticed it needs 550 watts or better power supply to run. Now, I'm in the same boat, I don't know if my Sony VAIO will take an aftermarket power supply rated at 550 watts or better. From what I've read in forums, Sony's power supply/plugs may be proprietary. Hate to put a new one in and find out it won't plug in or hardware gets damaged because of incorrect output voltages. I posted a thread here to see if someone provide advice. Sorry I couldn't help any more but, thought you might need to be aware of power requirements for the newer video cards in case you decide to get one. Seems new games/software is driving complete upgrades and Sony refuses to help with any advice.
