As M0ddingMan1a said, on the PSU it says, but usually with stock PSUs like that there isn't much more power than 250-300W. My Dell (which I'll soon be replacing) has a stock 250W PSU. The companies skimp anywhere they can to lower the prices of their computers.

So would a 250W power supply be enough for a 7600GT? I'm having a similar problem

no i highly doubt it'll be enough. You'll have to buy another one from dell as they use stupid customized parts.

so could my brother run a 7600GS with the generic power supply which came with his HP a1310n if not the 7600GT ??

Firstly, I don't know where you got Dell from, I said I'll be replacing my crappy Dell soon. The guy with the orig. problem has an HP. Secondly, they customize parts to make money, because it means if you want to upgrade, you've got to buy from them.

BTW, I hope that didn't sound rude....


No.
