    I searched through the forums but no one mentioned whether or not the HP 2570p requires a higher wattage power adapter than the stock adapter (I think it's 65W?).

    I've modified my T430 from a dual core (stock) to a quad core (3820QM) and the stock power adapter was not enough to drive the quad core, I had to upgrade from the bundled 45W to a 90W adapter for it to work.

    Just wanted to know if the 2570p required similar hassle or not.

    Thanks!

    It needs the 90W adapter.
