Sorry to get back to you so late...

Again, speaking from my experience... The Dell Power Supply with my 
XPST550 works fine with the V5.  I don't think that the power supplies 
have changed voltage/watts from the XPSD line...  I think for all their 
XPS line they use the same Power Supplies.

So that should not be a problem...

On top of that...

I am running

1.44 Floppy
32-Max Speed CD-ROM Drive
4-Max HP SureStore CD-Writer
SoundBlaster Live Sound Card
1 WesternDigital 19GB drive
1 IBM 13GB Drive
Voodoo5 5500

and like I said... the V5 works just fine... I think you will be safe 
with the card purchase... but buy it from place with a good return 
policy... just in case.

good luck... sorry for the delay...
