power supplies

hi there;
Got a question from a friend. Don't have a clue myself.
"will a 250 watt power supply handle the requirements of a Radeon SDR, 64 mhz card which draws 10 amp? and a 1 ghz celeron cpu." that's about it.He wants to know if he should buy a larger power supply.
Thanks alot.

About power supplies...........
I just had one go and had to replace it. It's a 350 W ATX for a P4.
I put it in and am on-line now, but while reading the box I noticed a picture showing the connectors included. There are two connectors specifically "for connection to P4 mainbord only" They were never connected before and I'm not sure what they're for or where they go. One is a flat 6 pin |C,C,C,+3.3v,+3.3v,+5v|
and the other is a larger 4 pin
|C,+12v|
|C,+12v|
Any advice? The MB is an ECS P4VMM2
Thanks peeps.
