I am concerned that my power supply is too small, but I have no idea how to check or how to know. I do not have any apparent problems. I am running a pretty generic case with a 250 W ppwer supply. My computer has an Asus CUSL2-C MB, ASUS V7700 32 MB GeForce 2 GTS, SB Live Gamer, 20 gig ATA 100 Quantum HD, 10 gig ATA 33 IBM HD (both 7200 rpm), P3 700E Processor, HP 9350i CD-RW, internal 100 MB Zip Drive and a Kenwood 42x TrueX CD-ROM Drive (and a floppy drive and one case fan. I need one more plug in for the internal zip drive so I was just going to get a $5 splitter and split one as soon as my IDE conroller gets here so I will have a place to plug in the IDE cable and use it.
Whew, see why I am concerned, but again, I do not appear to have any problems or issues. How do you know or test or detrermne if it is OK. I have the ASUS monitoring program but really don't know what I need to be looking at on the voltage. The 5v reading is usually around 4.8 I think. The others seem right on or over what the program says.
