I'm looking into upgrading my nephew's Dell 5150 with a 305W PSU. I've read alot of very helpful posts and was wondering if someone can give me a link to an official Dell explanation of the median rating used being under typical max ratings, or just something from them confirming the rating is median. And would the Dell 305W be able to handle the 8800 series GPU cards or is that pushing it a bit too far? If not would a 375W Dell PSU cope with them? 8600 GT performance on COD & BF2 | Details Discuss 8600 GT performance on COD & BF2 Does anyone have any FPS numbers for Call of Duty 1 or 2 and Battlefield 2 with an 8600?
