Power Supply Question

[slickg]

I'm doing a system upgrade and I want to make sure I will have enough juice to power it since I only have a 350 w power supply I'm installing a Abit NF7-S and AMD Barton 2500+ My video card is only a Geforce 2 32 mb so it doesn't suck that much juice. Do I need to worry about this?

So far your p supply looks fine but you didn't mention how many drives you are running.

I ran a 350w on a supermicro dual xeon with 6 drives and 4 cd/dvd before w/o crashing 1 bit. Inwin Powerman 350W power supply

I recently switch to a vantec 480w not because its not enough juice, I had to use so many 5.25 Y splitter with the old powerman, the vantec had 10 5.25 molex connectors + it had the 24Pin server ATX plug.

Only have you have a lot of drives you need something slightly higher. Just keep it clean from dust bunnies so it doesn't heat up inside the power supply

I don't envision any problems with your current p supply just keep a eye on your voltage.

Shouldn't have any problems whatsoever.
