to my knowledge, most of the time, it is the power rail which supplies to the mobo/memory controller with AMDs that causes the most problems. I've heard such that the memory contorller draws more current than the rest of your goodies put together!

Look, I know you think the world of me, that's understandable, you're only human, but it's not nice to call somebody "Vain"! -

I use the ANTEC 430 or 480 watt TruePower P/S's in my Windows systems (8) and they work just fine.
Most of these have AthlonXP's, 3-5 drives, a CD burner and PCI cards; the minimum compliment of which is a Fasttrak100 or TX4, a video editing card of some type, a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and a Linksys LNE100TX NIC.
4 of the 8 systems have both DVD and CD drives.
