Amd Xp Cpu
I RECENTLY PURCHASED AN AMD XP 2200 CPU.
ALSO I PURCHASED AN ASUS A7V333 MOTHERBOARD TO GO WITH IT. I AM CURRENTLY BUILDING A GAMEING SYSTEM AND WAS WONDERING IF I NEED TO HAVE A BIGGER POWER SOURCE THAN THE ONE THAT COMES WITH AN OLDER SYSTEM LIKE 1996. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME BUILDING A SYSTEM. I HOPE IT IS A GOOD ONE. |

ow, no need to shout ... turn off you "Caps Lock"
... Yep, a 450/550watt will do nicely. Don’t be tempted with a cheapo.

If the power supply is from 1996, for sure you'll need a new one. It can't be much more than a 200w. You'll need at the bare minimum 300w for what you're talking about.

ACE:
Very good article on PSU's Here Based on their findings and general availability, I'd go for the Antec 380 Truepower. Yes, I do believe the KR7A is no longer produced by Abit. You can get the KD-7 RAID for a hundred quid, it's a much better board with onboard sound, USB2.0 and some other good stuff. Here's a link: KD7 (3rd & 4th on the list). Or you can get the non-RAID version for £87.00.
