Well so far I am only out less then $150.00 PS, GC & Tech install. The puter runs very good, and if the upgrade works it will be worth it. I can return parts. As opposed to spending hundreds, actually possibly thousand(s) It is a gamble I am willing to take.

Not everyone is flush enough to buy another computer because their original one shows it's age. But it must be nice.

As for the issues with cooling, so far I have learned that this case has enough air flow that cooling may or may not be an issue. Depends on the card.

I have considered cannabalizing the parts. Building one from scratch. That's the good thing about owning a Dell... you get techy (*at least most of the hardware) in self defense! Plus the very interesting thing about this saga is I have learned a lot in a very short time thanx to lots of nice people.

Oh and this system is 64 bit capabale! Just needs 64 bit software (*Win XP Pro64/Win 7). 

Any way, I have been spending time at Tom's for advice. I only posted here because I was asked.

Quote - Well it has been a couple of days, whats the skinny on your system?? Did you find a higher wattage power supply that fits?? Is CS5 behaving it's self??

If there is a problem (*Garee you seem angry, I'm sorry...!), then I can definitely no longer post here. I wasn't trying to use the PS forum for a computer forum. So excuse me. I won't post anymore here about it.

HugZ!
