I discovered, using the Basic calculator at outervision, my power supply needs are load 197 and psu 247, so I guess I add these together to round up to 450W. I learned my memory cards are unbuffered and my graphic card isn't SLI, so these would have to be replaced to run more than one graphics card. But I'm just a retired hobbyist, so what I have is probably just fine. And it's nice to know I probably have a good enough computer to not worry about it blowing up. (I've seen too many video clips of computers on fire, I think.) And my computer probably does all I need it to do. I'll have to learn to be patient with Superfly renders.

Thanks again. This was fun trying to figure out my computer specs from Device Manager and my Sales Receipt.
