Will a 500watt Antec SmartPower power a 8800GTS?

The title pretty much says it all, I have a 500 watt Antec SmartPower 2.0 PSU and I am looking to upgrade video cards. I don't know if going from a 7900GS to a 7950GT is worth the money especially with the 320MB 8800GTS's starting at $300. I'm also upgrading the CPU at the same time. Will this PSU run a 8800GTS? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I will definitely opt for the 8800 because it will have more memory and supports DX10, I don't know if it beats the 7950 in performance though. A 500W will definitely power an 8800GTS, my friend's 8800GTX rans on a 500W PSU.

Okay, good to know. I didn't even think about the 7950Gt outperforming the 8800GTS. When are DX10 games supposed to come out anyhow?
