6600GT and needed power supply

wrote

So, I am going to give 6600GT a try. If newegg won't take it
back, I just sell it on eBay.

Or get a better power supply for $40+.

What rail does the AGP version of the 6600GT pull from the most +12 or +5,
It
must also pull some current from the +3.3 right? Thanks.
xbitlabs hasn't tested one yet. For the pci-e they found it was mostly on
the 12v, a little bit of 5v, and no 3.3v at all.
I'm waiting to see when they'll test one.
Though I'm beginning to gravitate toward the February agp 6600 (non-gt) as
the pci-e ones overclock well, some fantastically.

The problem with Dell's power supply, from what I read, is that it's
proprietary. Standard ATX won't work. I have to order from Dell.

I hope it's not like my friend's NEC was back when. I told her not to rub
that chip but -- she wrecked the motherboard. To replace it with an NEC
would have been hundreds! So she got everything but the motherboard put in a
new barebones, with a new case with psu and motherboard, for about $120.

Didn't I post that already, maybe it was another thread.

There is a website that sells Dell compatible supplies, I don't remember the
name of the website anymore though. You could try Google. I'm sure something
will come up.

Good info Thanks.

There are other places that sell Dell compatible supplies.

pcpowercooling.com ?

It sells a "Turbo-Cool 425 Dell Deluxe" (for Dell Dimension 4500)
for $149. :^(

Yes, I think that is the website I was thinking of...Thanks.

I wonder why no one has invented an adapter for the Dell motherboards so you
can use any ATX supply. Isn't the only difference the pin placement?

It's possible (I haven't researched it) that Dell has a patent on the
connector configuration.
