@koioo2 Hello to you

Hello Bruce,

So I take it then that the outlook is sort of your CRM too then?

Was Insightly a little bit to much for your needs and not as practical as the outlook for your needs..And/or also perhaps because it is a computer based application and not an cloud based CRM. Perhaps maybe a feeling of security knowing your info is not out there floating around on who knows where server but rather on your home mac or PC?

@ftoftheX Hi Thanks for watching. To answer your questions, I use Microsoft CRM for customer management, this app is hosted. There is an Outlook connector that will sync data with Outlook. I then use CompanionLink to sync Outlook with Google Apps.I ue Outlook as most Microsoft Apps expect Outlook to be your default email client.

For your power supply issue - if the specs I am looking at online is the same as what you currently have, I agree with the Dell support. From what I am seeing online, that XPS comes with 250 W or 305 W. Of course, depending on how many hard drives you have installed, fans, USB powered anything, when you add a decent card like the ATI 6770, you are pushing your power limits when adding a 3rd monitor. Bought my Son a 6750, and it requires something like 200 W alone.

@PCAddictsLive Thanks for watching. My XPS 8300 shipped with a 460W PSU, Yep no doubt that's the issue.
