    I have a Precision M90 with 2.33 T7600 and FX3500 video and originally it came with a 130W PSU can you game and run it hard with a 90W PSU? Its 4.6 amps vs 6.7 amps.

    You can't run it on a 90W PSU. It won't even let you boot past BIOS on a 90W PSU.

    The M90 drastically slows down with a 90 watt power supply. Use a 130 watt or greater power supply.

    Wolf is 100% correct, I plugged it in with the 90W and it stopped at the bios asking to hit F1 to shut down due to incorrect PSU. I just received 3 of these machines from Dell with the wrong PSU.
