Is 300 watts enough?

[InverseOfNeo]

I currently have a 300 watt power supply. But I am soon upgrading to a dual Tualatin system. I think but I am not sure if 300 watts will be enough for what I will have in the computer.
Heres what I will have:
2- 1.26Ghz Tualatin cpus
1- DDR memory module (I might add one or two later)
2- hard drives
1- CD-RW drive
1- video card
1- NIC
I also have my mouse connected to the USB port, and my USB hub which has my digital camera, label printer and my palm cradle on it. The hub is AC powered. I am not sure of what else would make a difference. Please let me know. Thanks ahead of time.

dude

i personally wouldn't run a dualie with with less than a 400 watt power supply and if it were mine id go for a 460 just for piece of mind imho

300W would be ok for a single but probably not a dual processor system.

Tuallies don't use all that much juice. I run a 300 watt supply, but in a single config..

PIII-S 1.26 @ 1.5 GHz, 1.5 Vcore
1 HD
1 DVD
1 CDR/W
GF3 (uses some juice!)
1 soundcard
1 nic
1 USB 2.0 PCI card

A dual PIII Dell server with SCSI uses a 330 watt PS. I think you should be fine with 300 Watt, maybe go 350 if you want a warm and fuzzy.
