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." http://anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1946&p=3 Martin.
