Power Requirements

I have an ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256mb, and I was just wondering if anyone knows the power requirements for it. I have an HP 200w power supply, and I'm really wondering if that's enough. When I try to run BF2 it locks up the GPU in the main menu, and I know that BF2 runs on that video card by user reviews. I'm probably getting a power supply soon from a friend, but I don't have much money and I'm wondering if it's worth it.
 
that could cause a problem in any case... that should do fine though.
it probably locks up because your trying to use a 9250 lol

The GPU should do fine, on low settings albiet. Get a better PSU then your 200w one. Whats the budget?
 
well, my friend will sell me his enermax 350W for 20-30 dollars, I have less than 50 in my bank but I got some birthday money and my brother owes me some money too. Income tax is coming, but probably not too soon. I also need a new mouse, looking at a $30 one at futureshop that's on sale.
 
Actually, does anyone know the PSU requirements for other similar video cards, since the newer ones say what they require. If others, like the BFG 5500 (which isn't as good as the 9250) says what it requires, or the 9500, maybe I can use those to help me decide.
