The card's minimum requirements are:



1) AMD Athlon® or Intel® Pentium® 4

2) 512MB of system memory; 1GB or more for best performance.

3) Optical drive for installation software (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive).

4) 480MB available hard disk space

5) A 400 Watt or greater



ANSWERS:



1) Yes, Your computer meets requirements



2) Yes, Your computer meets requirements HOWEVER since you are running windows vista i would recommend getting more memory (RAM) for your computer, you have 512 mb right now, i'd get atleast another 1 GB.



3) Yes, Your computer meets requirements



4) Yes, Your computer meets requirements



5) NO, Your computer DOES NOT meet the MINIMUM requirements.



I'm sorry but your computer has a 250-Watt power supply (which really isn't much) you should aim for a 400-500 Watt Power Supply (i'd recommend getting at least a 450-Watt)



Sorry, but i hope i have helped.|||Yes|||Everything butt he power supply looks good. I don't know the exact requirement's for that card but 250 watt's is a little low. You may need to get a stronger one, preferably at least the very least, 400 watt's. 500 or more recommended.



Otherwise yes, the rest is ok. It might even work with 250 watt's.|||yes but AMD sucks!|||Power supply (PSU) and RAM are your biggest problems. Add another 512MB or even upgrade to 2GB (get two new RAM sticks - really cheap at those frequencies anyway, around $40). 450W PSU is still archaic by today's standards - especially if you want to play games. You'll experience slow-downs and possible brown-outs/shut-downs if you barely meet the PSU requirements for your graphics card. You'll want some more headroom to run things smoothly, especially if you want to upgrade in the future. A 700W PSU is relatively inexpensive these days and has more than enough to compensate for future upgrades. My GPU is a Sapphire Radeon HD 3870, and my PSU is an OCZ 800W. I also have 2GB DDR2-800 RAM (OC'ed to 1066MHz). Runs games well and no power supply issues.



Some friendly advice. Also, AMD really does suck these days...
