[z1k4]

Hi everyone

i'm looking to buy a new Graphic Card For My dc7900ec 

This is the Graphic Card that i want to buy it ,

( GeForce 9800 GT - 1024MB) Or  (GeForce GTX 275 Video Card - 1792MB )

But some Friends told me You can't run it in Your Computer , Cause Your "Porwer Supply " Have : 365W 

And you should have about : 600W << is that True ?!?!

if that is true , can i exchange my porwer supply to another one ?!  Without Problem with My PC ?!

Thank You 

Good Luck .... See You

Which model do you have? Is it the Ultra-slim or the (CMT) convertible mini tower?  Here is how you can find your model name and model number and post it.

here. More information is better than not enough.

If your PC is a slimline type then neither of those cards will even physically fit in your PC's case.

The power supply you can change. The problem will be the choice of video cards. They will probably not fit correctly. They will take up 2 slots and people have issues with them contacting parts of the motherboard and not seating correctly.

Cause I have About 5 Products From HP-Copmaq In My House , And some of these PC's His PSU has been breakdown

The OEM PSU is 365 W.   Here is a link to the specifications for your PC. With the OEM PSU, the best you can install is an ATI Radeon 3850 without having to upgrade the PSU.

Thats Means ( I Should Buy A New PSU )

Thank You Brother =)

Good Luck .

That all depends on what your plans are for using the PC.

I have an Radeon HD 3850 pci-e card installed in one of my PCs that has an Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0 GHZ. The Radeon HD 3850 runs whatever program I want to use or any game I want to play.

 A double slot wide card is unlikely to fit in your PC.

A PSU upgrade is only required if the video card you are going to install requires a six pin PCI-e power connection.

Your OEM psu does not have that connector so you can not install an upper mid range PCI-e video card without upgrading you PSU (i.e. a Radeon HD 3850 or better).
