7800GT & Low Wattage PSU

[ZXSpectrum]

A friend oof mine has got a Fujitsu Seimens Esprimo machine(AMD 64-3200) and he has just bought a 7800GTX for it. Now the PSU that comes with the machine is only a 240w one... He also has an extra large capacity S-ATA HDD in the machine as well as a DVD-RW...

He ran it all day yesterday with 3DMark05 and for a while with COD2 and it was fine... Will it cause problems? It says in the manual that it needs a 400w Minimum PSU...

Any help would be appreciated...

Yep its deffo a 260w PSU... Its kinda bespoke thingy with the PSU and CPU Fan and shroud all in one that comes out of the side of the case... Works pretty well...

So it isn't 240W?

LOL... Its 240w with 260w peak... According to the sticker on the side... As far as i recall they are manufactured by coolermaster for FS...
