I know that today's systems need a lot of power at least 300W. I am looking to build a new system and wondering if P4 Power Supplies work with AMD or does it matter as long as they are AT,ATX compliant?

I am looking to buy this case but have an AMD processor will this power supply work with AMD processor?

here is the link

And if not can you buy an adapter to make p4 power supply work with an AMD>?

Thanx

Both P4 and AMD use standard ATX powersupplies. ATX supplies that are 'P4 compatible" have the extra 4-wire square plug that most P4 systems use. On an AMD system, you just don't use that connector.
