    Just got a Dell Dimension 9200 Quad Core with a 8800GTX graphics card, the PSU in it is a 375W, is this enough power to run everything (everything seems to run fine and very quick) or should I put a Hiper TypeR 580W in it that I have spare ?

    hi,in a few words all i can say is "holy cr@p"
    the boys here with much more brains will tell u and ask u how a 375watt can run that. no offence but r u sure about the watts coz it seems very strange to me.

    thats the type of reply i thought i would get, 375W is whats inside running & the PC is fine and very quick running games too. Have I been buying big watt PSU's over the years for nothing or is it a wrong sticker on the side of the unit :confused:

    I recently got an 8600gts and the manufacturer recomendation was a 450w psu minimum, so I'd guess the 8800 is going to be a step up again. I inherited a Dell a while ago that was running with a 305w psu. They really should be using decent psu's .

    Im guessing its a wrong sticker...

    Or an underestimated PSU :p

    Did Dell ship this PC? Or did you ad the 8800?
