Default How do I check my computer's power supply?

It's an a1630n HP Pavillion from around Christmas time. It currently has an integrated graphics card. Will it be able to hold a newer graphics card?

some graphic cards require power from the power supply, others simply get power from the motherboard PCI-E connectionmy dell dimension doesnt have the power conenction to the graphic card, and its a mere 305W unit, ive installed the pmost powerful card i can, nvidia 7600GT, which uses power from the motherboard's PCI-e

You can remove the side of your case and will probably find the wattage of your power supply on the side of it.
