Power Supply upgrade
I have a Presario 6000 (6rpxe1) with a 220 watt psu. The fan is gone on my
ti4200 graphics card and was considering upgrading it. I'd like to go with a second tier type card (6800 or x700) but have been told I'll need a better psu. Anyone know a psu that will fit and handle any proprietary needs for the mobo? Are their any modifications that I may need to perform? Thanks in advance. Gordon |

I can't recall the innards of a Presario 6600, but many Presarios used
oddly-shaped power supplies. If the power supply in your system does not follow a standard form factor and you want to upgrade the wattage, consider buying a new case with power supply and move the guts from the Presario to the new case...

Take a look at www.power-on,com. They have some replacement PSU that offer
higher wattages than the OEMs. KC "Gordon" wrote in message ... I have a Presario 6000 (6rpxe1) with a 220 watt psu. The fan is gone on my ti4200 graphics card and was considering upgrading it.

Thanks. Good site. However the units aren't any more powerful than what's
already in there. Gordon "Kevin Childers" wrote in message ... Take a look at www.power-on,com.

Was worth a shot, some Mfgs offer replacement PSUs that have a higher
wattage than the cheaper ones OEMs install. There are other sites out there that may be of use, check the specs and pictures for a good fit at the wattage you need. KC "Gordon" wrote in message ...
