I've already taken care of that. The new
system has a 400 watt ceramic power supply (better for heat retention and
cooling.). The system the card is in now has a 250 watt power supply and
it still runs fine. The Radeon cards that need more power generally come
with their own cooling fan and power connector. The 9600XT does not so
it works fine.

I'm not sure about the ATI Radeon, but I know the GeForce
5 FX requires a more powerful power supply than the average video card. So
keep that in mind when building your system, you might need a larger power
supply or else the system shuts itself off and has other problems. My father
found this out the hard way when he ordered a new PC from HP. They put in
the GeForce 5 but did not increase the power supply so he had to go buy a
new power supply in order for his computer to
work.

My system specs are a Pentium 4 1.8Ghz and a 400mhz

It seemed to run the beta version of EQ2 quite well with minimal lag in most
cases, so if you're system is commensurate to that, you shouldn't have a
problem.
I am, however, building a new system that will be a
Pentium 4 2.4Ghz and a 533mhz FSB with 1024MB of RAM and a 256MB ATI Radeon
9600XT video card. I expect good things from it when I'm
done. I think EQ2 should run quite nicely on
it.
