Would i need to change my power supply if I plan on getting a gforce 8800/8600?

jfabele asked:


I have a dell dimension 9200 with a gforce 7300 (yep, it sux i know QQ) so i was planning to get a new card, either a gforce 8600 or 8800 so i was trying to check wether i need to change my power supply (no idea what supply I do have) and if so, what would I need? and besides, i think i would need some new cooling fan. All help is appreciated.
