I'm getting this Sparkle GeForce 9400GT graphics card and I only have pci slots not pci-e so im not going to change cards and i dont have the money to upgrade to a comp with pci-e. Anyways I was wondering four things:

Does 2 12v rails provide more efficiency than a single one for gaming?

Will a power supply with pci-e connectors work with a non pci-e card?

Is this Coolmax 450W power supply ok for my card?

Which of these two is better for my situation?
Coolmax CA-450W vs Coolmax CT-450W

Post your budget for the power supply and we can find you one that will be able to power the card properly. Every unit you listed was junk really.

Ok sorry it's been so long but i have been busy. I think i am going to get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=500w+thermaltake psu because it is thermaltake and they are very reliable so I hear. The only thing i need to know now is if this psu will fit into my case. I have an HP business desktop microtower d220 and this psu is atx12V 2.0. I need to know if this psu will fit into where my old one is or if there is any difference in size from whatever i have to this one. Thanks email me at [email protected]

If your buying thermaltake only purchase the toughpower series , the rest do not have good enough efficiency.

However , putting this much money into such a computer isn't going to yield very good results. Pci videocards tend to be very expensive and very slow compared to there pci-e conterparts. Also , the rest of the machines specs are not very good and will actually hold back even a 9400. What are you planning on doing with the card?
