radeon 9800 pro on a 8300

I have heard that the minimum power supply required is 350 watts for this card but since dell comes with these installed and most of there computers only have 250 power supply it must not be true right? Anyways im thinking about getting one of these cards and i was just wondering if my 8300 will be able to give it enough power.

    hey, i was worried about this aswell:P

    i got a dell dimension 8300. and i recently bought my 9800xt. it WORKS FINE. some1 tested the PSU from dell and found out its actually 345.5 W or something like that. it doesnt actually take up 300/350 W. it just thinks that because your getting a top of the line card your goingt o have alot of other things taking up power. its allright, just get it:D
