Just estimating, but the TOTAL power consumption of your present system is
likely about 200 Watts. So it is likely that you can get by with your
present power supply, even after installing a nVidia 7600GS replacing the
Ti-4200. Your present system has very little hardware installed, the only
two power hungry devices are the CPU and the display adapter.

Do you have any idea on how much Amps the P4 (478 socket) 2.54GZ uses?
As it is that and a new video-card that must share the 26A on the 12V
(as I have been told the total wattage is less than my Ti-4200 card,
but the load is moved from the 3.3/5V rail to the 12V rail instead.

| +3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5VSb +3.3&5V Total
| 32A 32A 26A 1A 1A 2,2A 185W 350W

So the question is. Is 26A enough for CPU + 7600GS + HDD + DVD-RW?
(ok, the mainboard with S-ATA controller and LAN also uses 12V or?)
