ok so i dont have much money(about 140$ canaidan thats all i can spare 4 this upgrade) so i was looking for some cheap but good quality power supplys to run my new x1600 card and i read that this 1 powersupply has connectors for all pci-e cards. so do i need a specific power supply if i have an agp card???
you just need one with a peripheral (all have em) power connector, with my AGP its a small connector, the card came with the adapter... theres not special PSU for AGP cards, its just because PCIe cards need a 12v connector thingy
ill look for a good cheap PSU, or you can yourself,,,, newegg.com if you have multiple things hooked up in your comp look for one with 350+ watts and more than 20amps on the +12v rail, and at least six "peripheral" connectors. my current has 16amps and 480 watts, I dunno if its powering my x1600PRO enough but its working..... for 140$ canadian you can get a nice PSU, mine only cost 20$ lol, but for 50$ US you can get a reliable PSU (get an antec)

In my experience, there is no such thing as a good, cheap power supply. You get what you pay for when it comes to PSUs, if you buy a cheap one you can expect bad quality. That is just my opinion, however, others may have had different experiences.
