5000 series Power supply
No,it all depends on the processor and equipment installed,though most seem
terribly underpowered.My 5423US is a Pentium 4 model,and only has a 235 watt psu,barely enough to do the job.Since most decent graphics cards require at least 300 watts these days,you'll probably need a bigger unit,if you're fortunate enough not to have gotten a model with a proprietary power supply like mine does. "Agent83" wrote in message ... I have a pasario 5410CA and I was trying to upgrage the graphics card when someone mentioned I should check to see what Watt the power supply was. I checked and it says 146 W on the power supply. That would mean that if I have enough power then it is barely enough. Yet a pasario 5430 at the office has a graphics card and a DVD player that mine does not have. Did Compaq actually put that small of a power supply in these computers and did all the 5000 series pasarios not have the same power supply. |
