I found out I need a new video card. Someone gave me a NVIDIA Geforce 8800GT 512 MB. It has the right up grades I need, And it will fit. But what kind of power supply do I need? :4-dontkno
I have a
Hewlett-Packard
Model a6220n
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU e4500 @ 2.20GHz
I was running my 8800GT with a 600W power supply and it worked fine. Wasn't anything special. Anything from a 500W to 600W should work fine for you, I believe this card needs around 24A on the +12v rail.
For an 8800 video card, you actually need a minimum of a 550 watt power supply and a decent brand name. We suggest either a Corsair or a Seasonic for good quality and power enough to pull the card.
Here is a great one, but is temporarily out of stock. Howvever, should be back in soon and if you put your name and email, they will notify you:
