I just bought a 9800pro on ebay. I found out I have a 250W Power supply. Dell D. 8200 P4 2.0Ghz. cpu. I understand I have to upgrade the power supply. Any Sugesstions on How big and what I need? I see a whole list of them on Newegg.com I plan on building a Game rig soon and will probably dump the 250w back in the Dell once I start on that.

We are lucky to have them, they make the battle...
AH but ONE, one of them is a Warrior... he will bring the others back

These people make power supplies for dell . You will need minimum of 300 for that card ( i have the same card) I recommend you get no less than a 400 powersupply

Dell Power supplys are rated VERY conservativly. There are tons of people running 9800's cards on the stock 250 power supply in Dell computers. Check the Dell support forums for confirmation.
