Allied seems to have improved its powersupply

I copied the following from Newegg.com

Power Supply Type : ATX

Hi-Pot/Burn-In : 100%

Description: *Ideal for P3, P4 and AMD Systems
*AMD Approved for Athlon 1400/Athlon XP 2000+

I know Allied have produced some poor quality powersupply in the past. However, this powersupply has pretty good specs and there 39 people wrote good comments about it on Newegg.com. Since this powersupply only costs $39 + $6 shipped, it would be a good powersupply for a cheap system.
Do you disagree or agree?😀:Q

Only time will tell...the specs might be inflated, the user comments might not reflect everything.

I would hope a properly-built 400W unit could power more than

***AMD APPROVED good to 2100+ ***

since a 400W unit is what Asus calls for on their A7M266-D dualie board. If I had the $33 to spend I'd consider the Sparkle Power FSP300, which has the same rail amperages, but is less expensive and has a better reputation. Sparkle Power calls it a 300W unit.

maybe for a lower power system, but i would skimp on important stuff ever
