- Athlon X2 power requirements
- Posted by Mike Gleason Jr Couturier on November 28th, 2005
Hi,
would a good 380 watts PSU would
be enough for 2 HDD and a Athlon x2 3800+ ?
(no more add-on cards, onboard video/sound/lan)
Thanks !

You're better off asking this question elsewhere! This newsgroup is for
questions on hardware used in XP. Power supply questions do not involve XP
directly.

Thanks all,
I'll proceed to ckeckout

I would recommend getting the biggest supply you can (over 400 watts)
When I researched this I found a 450 watt or larger would be best depending
on what hardware you have eg video card, sound card hdd, dvd/cd burner etc.

Explain to me what this has to do with XP?
Ask in a hardware group.

Uh, this is a hardware group. That's why it is named m.p.w.hardware.

But the question has nothing to do with XP. What power supply you
need to power your hardware has absolutely nothing to do with the OS.
