Well i have a 1.4 athlon and i use an enermax 430 watt power supply. If you dont realy plan on overclocking realy high and useing massive amounts of power then just get the enermax 350 watt power supply. iI think its like $50-$60 on pricewatch.. but you will need a new power supply as the one you have could easily ruin your cpu.

I have a 320 Watt Turbolink PS that came with my case and my 1.333 Birdy is @ 1.544 right now :-)

Spend the extra cash and get a 400+ PSU, that way you will never have to question the PSU. Too many folks think that a 250-300 watt PSU will suffice, then go through the trama of trying to figure out why their system sucks. The extra money is well worth the effort. It is still cheaper to buy bigger and not use it, than buy not enough.

just got a case that came with a 320W turbolink like Rotty up there, didn't want the PS but oh well, I've now got a spare. good to know it can take some abuse though. But it's getting replaced right away with a 450W enermax that I'm getting tomorrow, I just have to go pick it up.
good good.
