I'm looking to upgrade my psu as well. I've recently installed a Radeon HD4870 (1GB) and I'm a little concerned about possible stability issues this might cause. Would someone mind recommending a high performance replacement, preferrably one that's relatively quiet?

Did you ever get around to upgrading your power supply? If yes, which one did you use and how is it working in your XPS 410?

How can I tell the number of SATA power connectors? Some power supply descriptions mention the number of SATA connectors, but a lot of them don't.

Thanks!

If the connectors are not listed by the vendor, then go to the manufacturer's website for the information.

XPS410/9200 systems do not use a Dell proprietary power supply, you can use most standard ATX power supplies with either, a 24-pin or 20+4-pin, main motherboard power connector.

Because the XPS410/9200 have an open back panel, a power supply with or without the on/off switch can be used.

Note: You need a power supply, with six SATA power connectors.

The details for replacing the power supply are here,

Can anyone tell me of a way to upgrade my power supply to a 550 or 600. I read on here that 375 is enough and other techs are telling me its not. The video card I want to run requires a 450W power supply. Any help appreciated. Thank You
