Newegg does sell a 500W PSU which is supposed to fit Dell cases. Manufactured by PC Power & Cooling Link No idea if its any good, but imagine it would be better than the stock unit I have if I find it wont power a new card.
Sounds like the bigger issue is cooling. The case has a 120mm fan...
Looks like my Dell8400 has a PCIex16 slot and a 350W powersupply. Could I get away running either a 8800GT or a 9800GT in there? If you think the 8800GT will work, is the PNY card any good seeing how that appears to be the only one left on Newegg?
Thanks for the warm welcome and the detailed stats. Happy to be contributing to the team and to the cause. Now I just need to upgrade my computer to boost my pbd.
I agree the best route is to build my own system. That is the way I have always done it in the past with the exception of my current system. The way I see it right now the Dell at Best Buy is a major improvement over what I am running right now with no further modifications. Its just not...
I have some Best Buy gift cards and they have 18 mo same as cash. How would the Dell Studio desktop with the Quad Q8200 chip do with 6 GB of RAM? Seems like a pretty good deal for $800. I could even replace the video card with a Nvidia 9xxx series if the MB/powersuply could handle the load...
I just started running folding for the team. It took almost 2 days to complete my first work unit and just posted 225 points. Is there anything I can do to speed up my old Dell 8400? Its running one of the old hot P4 3.2 GHz, with 1 MB of RAM. The folding keeps the fans running pretty good...
Yes running updated virus and spyware. XP is up to date. Started happening several months ago and have never figured out what trigers it. Wonder if its getting time for a clean install?
Everynow and then my CPU usage gets pegged around 60% and it will stay that way until I shut down my computer or go into Task Manager and shut down the culprit. Its always the program iexplore.exe There is always 2 of them showing with one showing roughly 50% usage. Is this Internet Explorer...
I used DVD Shrink to rip the DVD. It created a number of separate files. Now I need to convert the files into one of the formats listed above. I snooped around in Windows Movie Maker, but couldn't find anything that would convert the file into WMV format.
Appreciate any help to explain...
My son has a VideoNow player that can play movies that have been burned to special disks. I need to convert DVD movies into one of the supported formats (AVI MPEG-1, ASF, WMV, QuickTime). What is the best way to go about this and what format do you suggest to convert to? Once I have the movie...
I was in CompUSA the other day and saw their Macs with some cool screen savers. It was nature pictures and I guess they come with OS X. Is there a way to install the pictures on XP and use them for a sreen saver? Or is their a software program for XP that has the same cool pictures?
Its amazing how much they charge for memory. I have a HP 1100 with the default memory (1 MB I think) and I have had problems in the past tyring to print high resolution images. It would only print part of the image. I think laser printers use memory differently than ink jets. I think the...
I have the same exact problem. I have had mine since they originally came on the market. It is like new and still running on the orginal toner cartridge. Unfortunately over the past year mine has started pulling multiple pages at a time. I have taken the entire thing apart and cleaned...
Other than your problem with getting the drive to work with firewire, how do you like it? I am in the market for an additional hard drive and am leaning towards external. I saw these drives on Best Buy online but they don't have them in my local store. I was wondering what they look like. Is...
