I have an older sparkle 250W PS model FSP250-61GT laying around and was wondering if it will be enough to run a Dual Celeron 366/400 on a BP6 mobo? Here are the specs on the rails:

3.3v - 14A
5v - 25A
12v - 8A

Will it work? I dont want to have to get another PS. Also hooked up will be a CD-RW, 10GB 5400rpm HD, and a few 80mm fans <.20A each(5-7). I was running it with a XP 1700+ @ 2.3Ghz and it ran fine along with 4 HD, 2CD-RW, and 12 fans. If it could run that setup, I would think it would be able to run my dually. Thanks.
 
A 250w is probably a bit too small and inadequate for a dual rig on a BP6. I'd recommend at least a 300w. Of course, you can try it, and maybe get lucky.
