-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...

bah screw the math..
a good brand name 400 Watt should be good enought for almost anything...
so get a 430 Watt
specifically
Antec True 430
