PSU on Dimension 8100
Thinking about changing graphic card I have been using http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ to calculate usage.
The PSU on my 8100 is marked to max 330w.
Asuming replacing my graphic card with a fancy new one (6600GT), playing a game without using both CD and DVD at the same time, I get a little more than 300w usage.
Now what happens in case my usage go over 330w, will I burn anything or will the machine just stop/freeze???
