Default Power supply for multi IDE


Mark M
wrote in message ...

I am thinking of getting the Gigabyte 7VAXP-A
mainboard which has 4 IDE connectors.


What rating of power supply would I need to
support this sort of board and eight IDE devices?


Thats still mostly determined by the AMD cpu
requirements. Just get one of the AMD approved
power supplys with a higher power rating.

BTW is this mainboard a good choice?


I prefer Asus motherboards myself.

In particular I like the dual BIOS feature and the 4 IDE
connectors. But are there any obvious drawbacks?


The Gigabyte manuals can leave a bit to be desired in my opinion.
Have a read of that one and try to use the RAID connectors for a
non RAID config with say 6 hard drives and you will see what I mean.
