ati radeon 9600xt into my pvc rx413n
i have the vaio rx413n with a geforce 4 mx 460, and i want to upgrade to a radeon 9600xt. is this possible (with power supplies and so on)? the radeon needs an 300 watt power supply and my power supply unit has 220 volt ~ 1.7 A so it has ??? 374 ??? watt. is that right? i have inserted an addition al soundcard (terrstec aureon 5.1 fun).do i need another power supply unit or will the new graphics card work without any problems??

It won't work, you need a 330w PSU at least, you don't want to be running on low power.

what watt do i have?? i think over 300w 'cos watt is volt * ampere!! so 220 * 1,7 is much more than 300! what do you think? will it work?

Try Sonyspareparts, as a normal PSU might not fit in their "special" cases.

To work out total Wattage of any electrical appliance -
Votage x Amps i.e. 250v x 3amps = 750Watts
Wattage divided amps = Voltage i.e. 750W / 3amps = 250v.
