Post subject: X700 pro
I have an emachine T6212 and recently upgraded to an x700 pro pci express, my computer had onboard ati x200 express graphics in it and i was wondering if i was supposed to disable it before installing my new video card? Also is 300w power supply enough for an x700?

A lot depends on the quality of the PSU. 300w is marginal, at best, for
today's newer processors and if it is a generic PSU it may not be enough. I
am not very familiar with Emachine hardware so it is really tough to say. As
far as disabling the on-board video, many MBs automatically disable it when
another card is present, some don't. Check in your bios and make sure it is
disabled. Good luck.......

No you should not need to disable it. In mine (same computer and card) I
was able to just plug in the new card in the PCI Express slot and it worked
without changing a thing. As for the power, it works fine for me. At first
I had some problems when I hooked up two monitors to the card, but I am now
using them just fine.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
