How much watts need this system effectively?

-AMD XP2500+ (barton) 1,65V
-nf2 mcp-t u400 XPC micro ATX mobo
-2x twinmos winbond DDR400
-LG 48xcdrw/dvd-r combo
-seagate barracuda IV 60GB ATA
-nv 5900xt

all @default speeds and volts...

and:
same as above but the proc. @3000+ (400fsb) and 1,47V --> SISOFT says 55W... and with @2500+ (333) and 1,47 = 46W

Can I trust Sisoft ???
Thanks,

-Thor

PS: the XP2400+ (266) in my other box running @3000+(400) and 1,75V Sisoft says: 67W

350W or greater would be safe.

yup yup 350+ depends on how many acessories you wanna hook up...

you wanna be able to run those fans , HDD (s) , DVD roms , Video cards?, etc. , etc.

so if you dont have that much to push ,, 350w should be good enough...

PS: can s.o. perhaps give me some watts numers alone which those components need?? (e.g.: HDD=10W, mobo=20W, RAM=10W, GPU=40W ...and so on...)

bah screw the math..

a good brand name 400 Watt should be good enought for almost anything...
so get a 430 Watt

Antec True 430
