Are 350W enough for the new P4 6xx?

[mi11er]

I have the chance to test samples of P4 6xx, but would it be possible to use my PSU 350W PFC 12A in 12v Rail?

I wouldn't even consider trying with a weak 350 psu, 12a is way way too low on the 12v rail, if it powerd up at all, the PSU would likely die pretty quick, and possibly take other things out with it.

aye. aim for ~16+ amps on the 12V.

Don't cheap-lick your PSU, especially if you're a gamer. To answer your question, no. Stop into Cases&Cooling. There's a PSU buyers guide there,

Amazingly that PSU worked fine with P4 660 and even P4 XE 3,73GHz with i925XE MB, 512 MB (2x256 MB) Aeneon DDR-2 PC4300 and X700 Pro PCI-E card...
I ran full benchmark suite !!!

If your graphics card is a TNT2, you have one HD, one rom, and one stick of memory, you MIGHT get away with it.
