Dell Motherboard

[uther(UK)]

Just woundering if anybody has any idea what make and type of motherboard is in my Dell Dimension 8400, or how can i find this information. Also as stated below I have a X850XTPE on my dell, now the question i have about this is that the PSU on the Dell is a 350w, however ATI states that you need at least a 400w psu for this card could this be a reason for image problems when playing Doom 3 for a long time?

That link youve given me for Dell doesnt actualy tell me what make and type of mother board i have??

But you recon i need at least a 400w PSU

Dell wont tell you because they make their own motherboards kinda. Your motherboard is probolly named 8400 or something.

Happens alot on prebuilt systems.

Try Everest Home Edition and it might tell you what kind of Mobo you have, but knowing dell you won't find out.

Try Everest Home Edition , where can i get it?

CPU-Z

scroll down and install version 1.27

Everest Home

run both these programs...and you should be able to find out the name of your mobo and you may learn a few things as well...

good luck.
