I've got a shuttle FS50 with a 150Watt power source.I want to get a new graphics card as playing games on my old machine is not that great.Unfortunately, my pc only has 32-bit pci slot and don't want to spend cash on a new pc.I did a search and found out about radeon 9250 but it requires minimum of 250 watt.Was wondering if that's gonna be a problem.

Its possible that you could run into problems. You might want to get a new power supply/case along with the video card. You can get a case relatively cheap....Tiger direct has cases with 380W power supplies for less than $40

Yeah, but try it first!
I upgraded my computer and "forgot" about the PSU!!!
Media Player would stutter when playing tunes, games would crash or just hang!!
I replaced the PSU with a 600 watt, and everything now works 100%
