You really dont need one upgraded
My 256mb vid card I just got needs a 250 / 300 recommended.
I have 200W, and, as long as I dont use too many dealy-bobs on my comp (joystick, mic, cdplayer, whatnog..) then Ill be fine
Youll have a problem if your comp completely shuts down tho...

Antec 330W True Power Supply Gold Plated Connectors

Once you pick one out here some instructions....
1. Plug your computer into the electrical outlet to ground yourself.
2. Touch the metal frame of your case to complete the ground.
3. Unplug the power supply from the wall.
4. Unplug the peripheral power cables.
5.Unplug the power cable from the motherboard. Make sure to pinch the tab that is located on the side of the plug, and wiggle the connector if needed.
6. Remove the screws on the back of the case that hold the power supply in.
7. Slide the power supply out of the case.
8. Reverse the process to put it back together.
Make sure the voltage is set to 110 (a little red recessed switch on the back of the power supply). It is typically set here by default.
Depending on the power supply you have, it may have an on/off switch on the back as well.
Hope that helps, good luck!

DELL power supplies and “standard†power supplies are NOT COMPATIBLE
They have the same wiring but a different plug layout.
You need a special connector to use standard PS in a Dell motherboard.
Check before buy.
PS- you don’t want a $9.00 400W PS in your computer.
Buy a Fortron Source/Sparkle 350W.

Pentium 4 Dell Models that do not require a power supply adapter:
Dell Dimension 4300, 4400, 8200
Pentium 4 Dell Models that are not compatible with this power supply adapter:
Dell Dimension 8100
All Dell computers before 1998 use ATX standard PS. No pre-1998 Dell computer can play BF1942 (I think)
