FX 5950 Ultra/Athlon XP 3000 - Which PSU?
Hello
I'm about to upgrade my CPU to an Athlon XP 3000, and also purchase a nvidia FX 5950 Ultra. I have 512 mb of memory on board an Asus A7V333 motherboard. What's the minimum spec Power Supply Unit that I need to succesfully run this combo? Thanks John Hellingsworth

Thanks John Hellingsworth A good Antec True Power 350W should be more than enough, but for the future it's always good to get a bit more breathing space. I'd recommend a Fortron 400W-460W for an Athlon system, which sometimes offer more than their specs actually state in the tags. Enermax 400W for Pentium 4 systems and lots of hard drives.
