I want to upgrade the video card in my a6622f machine to a Nividia 8800 GT OCX and it looks like I'll need a new power supply. The spec's say I need at least a 425w supply but I can't find anything that is compatible. Does HP make a bigger power supply for this PC? If not, where can I get a power supply that will work?

I would try newegg.com and search "hp power supply". I'm not sure if you have that special mini power supply or not.
Also look it up on amazon or ebay.
Hope that helps.
BTW: Great video card choice.

New Egg had many power supplies. However, the sizes were slightly larger than my box would handle. I did find a guy who was quite helpful though at JustPowerSupplies.com and he hooked me up with a 550w that should fit and it will be here by Tuesday!!
Now if I can just get the video card ordered and installed by Thanksgiving!?!?!?

By the way, the HP Pavilion a6622f Desktop PC is . . . ahem . . . a desktop pc. This is a forum for laptops. You may want to check out the Desktops & Monitors forum @ Forums Home.
