XPS 420

I haqve not determined how to order the XPS 420 with the E6850 dual core CPU
and the 880GTX video card- at first I got an error message stating I need to
select another processor, now the choice is not available.

If Iorder the E6850 CPU -will the power supply that comes with the machine
need replacement if I add the 8800GTX video aftermarket?

Given that the XPS 410 was equipped with a 375w PS, I wouldn't have a
problem trying that if it were my machine.

Not a stretch to assume that the 420 will have the same or a larger capacity
PS.

I tried it again -I receive the

Your video card selection requires the 425W power supply available only with
select processors.

I don't know what power supply they are using
