Hi, I was asking about PSU's in the AMD mobo section (for a specific mobo) and it was recommended I come here. I know there are a lot of posts like this and I have checked them but I figured I should make my own. This is the deal: I can get a good price from the local computer shop on an Enlight mid-tower with a 340W PSU. This PSU has a total combined output (tco) of 180W and is AMD approved for the XP 2000+. I am using this for a system for relatives, so I don't want to put $100+ into a separate PSU but I want something stable, as I don't want it to act flakey on them.
This is going to be an "A/V" type computer, here are the specs:
ECS K7S5A mobo
XP 1700+ or 1800+ CPU
512 MB RAM
ATI AIW 7500 vid card
Creative SB Audigy
Seagate 80GB barracuda IV
LiteOn LTD-163 DVD/CD reader
CD-RW (still deciding...prob a liteon tho)
floppy, etc.
I may do some mild OC'ing (138 FSB) but only if it is super-stable. They won't be heavily multi-tasking, ie: burning CD, watching DVD, d/l from net, all at once, but will use this to do that stuff one at a time.
So, does this PSU have enough tco (180W) for that system to be stable? (which exact components for which V rails does the tco have to cover anyway?) I could not find a lot more on the enlight site, sorry...
Thanks!
