    Dear all,

    I've got a dell inspiron 9400 and it comes with a 90w ac adaptor. I'm o/c my graphics card, the 7900gs. I've read that you can use a 130w ac adaptor. Is that the dell one with the part number PA-13? It uses 6.7ampere instead of 4.62amps. Is it safe for my notebook to use that? If not, what the heck is that 130w ac that people have been talking about???
