So, I am at a cap with my current PC as far as the Vid Card and PSU relationship goes.
PCV-RS700
? Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology at 3E GHz
? Microsoft Windows XP Professional
? DVD-ROM, CD-RW
? 2 GB RAM DDR-400
? 160GB hard drive
* ATI X700 xt card (swapped out stock card 2005)
As anyone who has tried to get info from Sony about their products knows, they don't give info. In fact a tech once told me in 2 back to back statements: him "...yes you made a good choice, your PC is very upgrade-able..." me "ok, can you tell me what size my PSU is and what I can do to replace it with a more powerful one?" him "We at Sony don't reccomend you change your PSU or any other internal parts." I thanked him and disconnected immediately from our chat.
Long story short, I'd like a new/semi recent Vid card when UT 2k7 comes out and will need a new PSU as my current one ( I believ it is only 250 watts) is barely handling what it's got. I can find no info at all about specs for any PSU I find. Such as http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Sony...-RS,146870923,CompatibleModelList.aspx
Any tips, advice or even sympathy would be greatly appreciated as I have been pondering this since I first changed out the Vid Card.
edit: I am new here and just recently thought I should have posted this in the Video section, figured this is more PSU related and posted here.
