mini computer and an ati9800

[comphollic]

Will this Mini Computer have enough power to run my Ati9800?

 

[kylebisme]

from what i understand, yes it will. however i recomend you go over to the sff forums and ask there as those are the people in the know on this subject.

People with sff's seem to run them fine.

that SMALL FORM FACTOR* can run with a 9700AIW pro... my friend has one. He tried a 9800AIW and the PSU wasnt strong enough.. but shuttle replaced it for free with a newer stronger psu. So check with shuttle and ati before you buy.

It WILL fit a 9800 pro, the only issue is the PSU, but like dawg said, they may have totally phased out the weak ones.

Do you think over heating might be an issue?

I've always wondered that, those cases aren't exactly well ventilated.

As long as you don't upgrade to a Prescott....

Intel?s Prescott Meets SFF ? What?s That Burning Smell?

That's what I was thinking.

I have a 9800Pro in a Biostar IDEQ. It has a 200Watt PSU and the card is stable at 450/386. It is not stable with the side doors on,however. Overheating is an issue with this card; a 9500Pro had no heating issues. The PSU's that are put in these boxes seem to be quality products but the boxes need better front to back ventilation.
