Does anyone know if you can successfully install an ATI Radeon 9800 pro into a K5SA motherboard? I've had a look and nowhere says you can't but on the other hand no-one says you can, it's a 233 FSB and supports all 233 XP Athlon processors. If anyone knows please tell me. Thanx

300watts will be fine for a PSU

Yeah, its okay but its not what u should get. 350-400 watt is what is recommended.

I think i'll get a 400 Watt cos my case is battered, I've had problems before of an inadequate PSU, I was running a GF2 and Athlon 800 on a 230 WATT and it kinda blew up, thanks I don't want that to happen again

350 Watt is required for my 9500, so a 9800 is more powerful so you'd probably need a bigger PSU.

Yeah, I think it also depends on what else you're running too, like a PC with two HDD's, a DVD, A CDRW, A XP3000 and A Radeon will need more than others but I don't think having a too big PSU will do any harm....I hope :D
