I've heard some pretty negative things about how biased Tom's
HGardware is, so I'll probably look for another site.

I have no idea how big my power supply is.  I have a gateway model
that was top of the line maybe a year ago. How do I check how big the
power supply is?  As to cards, I have 2 CD drives, a zip drive, a
floppy drive, and 2 graphics cards with all my PCI slots filled.  I
never even considered needing a big power supply for a newer card.  As
I said, I'm pretyt clueless when it comes to 3D and have no idea what
Glide, OpenGl, or any of that is. I usually just buy the card name
that is the most expensive or that I recognize and assume it will be
the best.
