Since i've bought the Ati radeon x1950 pro, my computer is sometimes slow in windows vista, and in the games also after playing 5-10 minutes. My PSU is a Thermaltake 420W. is it possible that the PSU is too weak. I also have a TV tuner, a modem, and a PSI extension USB card. The computer specs are those from the signature.
TKS?

How many amps listed on the 12V rail, or rails if more than one?

TKS?+12V@18A from a TT POS is not going to cut it.

A Corsair 520W would be an excellent improvement! :toast:

But I don't suggest Tagan 600w because it's.. Tagan. Try something like a Corsair HX 520.

I agree. Tagan doesn't have the greatest name from what I've heard. The corsair 520W or 620W would be better.

No need for the Corsair...this one is just as good and is $70: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=PS-E5150GH

Why that one? cos you need to go Dual core man. Come April, grap the $113 E4300 or at least the $80 E2160 dual core and crank it up.

I forgot about those Enhance units. Good idea.
