Graphics Upgrade

What type of agp slot do i have and what wattage is my power supply? I have decided to get an ati radeon x1300 256 mb agp card, which supports 8x/4x agp. I am upgrading from a intel 32 mb pci card, so it will be a big improvement. I do have an agp slot. My question is, where do i look to find out what type of agp slot i have (2x, 4x or 8x)? Also, where do i look to find out how many watts my power supply is? Apparently it requires a 350 watt. Thank you all. Ok well i have a 4x agp slot and a steady-state 220 watt power supply. Guess i would need to get a new power supply before the upgrade. Thanks for your feedback.
