Hello. I've recently made all of the changes to my 6000 Pro to make it a gaming machine. The results aren't bad, I've got just enough juice to play the titles that I am most interested in but coming from playing on gaming consoles (Xbox etc.) I've noticed a slight difference in the results of certain game features that I was once a little more dominant in. I've looked into every portion of my device that can be upgraded and I've finally come to the conclusion that my power supply isn't sending my components the power that they need to get me the wins that I would once usually get. So my question is this, my PC only has a 150w and 180w power supply listed for spare parts, the 180w is used to power that dedicated graphics card, I want to know can I increase the power supply to a higher wattage and if so what is the highest?

@ogeeskeemask, welcome back to the forum.
According to the Specifcations (See the section titled Standalone power requirements), the maximum operating power is less than (<) 180W. Therefore, if you have the 180W power adapter it can't be upgraded.

No problem, come to find out it's actually what I long suspected, the dedicated graphics card only has so much memory, unfortunately there isn't a card made for another system that is compatible with this one 😞
