Subject: Power supply for Athlon64 (Correction for earlier post)

I wrote that 350 W should be enough, but
not every 350 W PSU can give total stability, according
to Anandtech. You are advised to checkout AMD's homepage
for list of approved PSU's.

"Our standard test setup uses a 350-watt PowMax power supply because it is
typical of a good quality power supply from a typical components or "white-box"
dealer. The 3400+ would not run with complete stability on this 350-watt PS. We
ended up moving to a 430-watt Antec True Power, which was one of the top
performers in a Power Supply roundup, to get stable performance with the 3400+.
The 3400+, in our experience, requires a good PS rated at least an honest 400
watts."
