I was told on gamefaqs that I would need to check the Power usage to see if it can take my new video card......Does anyone know how to do that? Im clueless..

Well first you can check what the power requirements for your video card is, see if it matches the output of your PCU (the box where the electricity comes from). That should be printed in one of your manuals (if you have one). Otherwise I'm positive is is printed on the outside of your power supply. Just open your case & screw it loose. Turn it off first and unpluf first though 
. I recently bought a 9800pro 128mb card and the box said that it required a 300-350W (Watt) power supply. I only have a 240W & I do NOT have any problems. I wouldn't worry too much unless you have like 10 hard drives & have overclocked your system very much. Hopes this helps you.
