Re: ATI Radeon x300/x550 Upgrade Confusion?
I am also Looking at upgrading a video card from a radeon X300 but have some concerns. The power supply that I have in my computer is proprietary to Sony so upgrading the power supply seems diffucult
 . It says that it is a 365watt power supply unit. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong video card (it requires 400 watts) . My system is running windows XP media center edition and is a Sony VAIOŽ VGC-RA820G. Was hoping for some advice so I don't make another mistake.

Re: ATI Radeon x300/x550 Upgrade Confusion?
Welcome to tsf. You would idealy want another ati card an not nvidia as the drivers issues between the two are a hassle. With only 365watts a 2600 pro (not xt) with ddr2 only is as high as I would go.
