AGP needs bigger PSU?

[androo]

hi,
I have a Jetway 663AS KT133 mobo, with a 700mhz Duron and 384mb RAM. It works fine with an old PCI Banshee in it, but it comletely fails to start with any AGP card in it. I have a 175W PSU and have been told this is insufficient to run my system with an AGP in it. Could this be the problem??
Thanks,
**androo**

Durran 700+ AGP Vid require at least 250w. But while you are buying a new PSU, spend a bit more and purchase a 450w. This way you have also future proofed your PSU. Look for one that the air intake of PSU faces the CPU. This will help reducing the temperature around the processor.
Good hunting

Fit AGP card
Try resetting the cmos by using the jumper next to the battery (3pins, centre always used, swop jumper to bridge centre and one not in use then swop it back)
You will have to press delete go into bios and set to bios defaults or best settings, check to boot from AGP first? save and exit. Martin Just trying to help, sometimes falling short, I am only human after all.
