Recently I need to migrate a nvidia 6600GT from one computer to another. The main concern that comes up is whether the PSU(power supply unit) is capable of handling this new device.
6600GT is known for its power comsumption and as I am using prescott 3.0E, I really need to make sure my PSU is with all components. Otherwise, unstability will be introduced and finally I am the one to suffer not enjoying it.
Here is what I did, i use a Power Supply Calculator provided by http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine . This tool is pretty easy, just input all components in your computer and it would suggest a amount of power that your computer needs. And you will have enough idea of what PSU you need. A great tool...
