| 179535 | 2003-10-01 06:26:00 | I have a Dell Optiplex G1 350. It has a mother board Intel 440BX AGP chipset with 128 mb ram. It has a CD ROM and a Floppy only. I use this only for backup purposes only, but have decided to increase the HD (which is presently 6 gig) and upgrade to XP Home . To this end, I have a second hand 40 GB HD. The power source for the PC is 145 watt and my friend is a bit concerned that 145w is not big enough and may damage the PC. Can anyone comment on this |

| 179536 | 2003-10-01 06:31:00 | The power supply should cope - I wouldn't see why it wouldn't. Would you be planning to be running 2 hard drives at the same time? | somebody (208) | ||
| 179537 | 2003-10-01 06:41:00 | No. The existing 6 GB HD will be coming out | veterannz (960) | ||
| 179538 | 2003-10-01 06:52:00 | It could possibly be a little on the light side but you may get away with it. Have a look at this page (www.upgradesource.com) for some indication of the recommended wattages for peak usages. | tommy (2826) | ||
