If my PSU is not "AMD ready" is it still ok to use with an AMD system?

I'm about to buy the X-Sonic case that comes with a 350W Turbolink PSU. It only says it's "P4 ready" Would this be able to run an AMD system I'm building?

Thanks,

cmai

Model: Turbolink CWT-350ATX-12V

My buddy is currenlty using a Turbolink 400 watt ps on AMD system with XP2000 without any problems.

It will work, the P4 ready part means that the powersupply has the extra power cables that you have to use with a P4. Amd processers don't require the extra power connector.

some AMD mobos do use the extra 4 pin plug
for example the Abit NF7-S

Thus for the NF7-S would I need an "AMD Ready" PSU?

Not exactly. The standard out there would still call the PSU needed for the NF7-S and any board that requires the 4-pin 12V power connector as "P4 Ready". It's weird, I know.

Why not check AMD's web site and see if the PS is listed ??

Good suggestion. Turbolink PSUs are made by channelwell right? So I can use it!
