    The one I am using now has an output of 4.74 amps

    It should not hurt your computer at all, as long as the output voltages are them same, such as the +/- 12 V, +/- 5V , etc.. the current draw from the power supply is depending on the input impedance of the computer, the OHM's law. It is a better power supply than the old one.
