What do the numbers on the power supply mean?

Want to upgrade my HP Pavilion A6357C(GX759AAR) with new PSU and graphics card. Don't understand what the numbers on the side are for besides the wattage.What do the numbers on the power supply mean?
you should be interested in the following when buying an upgrade:





The Wattage


if you need a PCI-E power connector


the current on the +12v line (in Amps)


how many +12v lines there are (depending on what you want to run)





if your upgrading your graphics card the spec should tell you what wattage power supply you need but take more note of what current (A) you need on the +12v lines and if you need a PCI-E power connector for it





if you update your question with the graphics card you want to upgrade too i can make a suggestion on what power supply you will need





good luckWhat do the numbers on the power supply mean?
Honestly, you should probably try going to http://www.hp-forums.com and ask the professionals. It is a free service and you can also interact with many other HP users to ask them for their opinions. You can also find and request drivers. They normally respond very quickly.
