Hi gang,
I have an emerge 500 VA UPS running A64 3200+,8600gt,A8N-VM, 2GB DDR1, 1 HDD, 1 DVD R/W, printer/scanner/copier combo & 17" CRT.
Backup is basically low, maybe a minute max. But it doesn't affect me much, as my apartment has 1KVA backup, which kicks in within 20s.
If i upgrade , lets say to a quad core+9800GT+mobo+ddr3 ram+hdd+printer+VX 450, do I need to change my UPS?. Will the VX 450 blow up the UPS? :huh: I need basically just safe backup for like 30s, thats all. I can't buy a very good UPS(eg 650VA-1KVA), as my folks at home won't be able to run for eg the mixie, tv(42" plasma) etc, due to the 1KVA limit.
And power cuts are common in my area.
Any advice/solutions much appreciated.
Cheers
Vinny
