GX520 Motherboard Upgrade
Hi,
i would like to upgrade the motherboard on my Optiplex GX520 to accomodate a PCI-e graphics Card.
I can get a hold of a GX620 motherboard which i believe would be a direct swap? any idea what the part number is for a GX620 mobo just so i know i'm getting the right one - its for a mini-tower
is there anything else i would need to change?
is there a guide to changing a btx motherboard online anywhere? i have never swapped a mobo before so don't really know what i'm doing but have been told it can be done in ten minutes.
any idea how this would effect my warranty?
Cheers,
G.

Based on my tests 200.8W was the "highest" consumed (peak) with all devices FULL LOAD (Graphics Card, Processor, 2 x HD, 2 x DVD and Network Card).
If you decide to go, don't forget to share your results later at this Forum.
