try it witha 300W if it crashes then get the Enermax! But if you have the bucks then don't fiddle around and buy it immediately...

<< Fastest Athlon XP (getting) >>



Yes go with 431w Enermax since you will not only have the fastest Athlon but all the other gear as well a 431w Enermax will be good choice.

300W PSU is not gonna be enough power for your system. I even use a Enermax 431W for my AMD Athlon 1.33G, 768mb PC-133 SDRAM, WD 100G 7200RPM HDD, Maxtor 60G HDD, Plextor 12x10x32 CD Rewriter, Lite-On 12x10x32 CD Rewriter, Hitachi 16x DVD ROM, Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO graphic card, Creative SB 5.1 + MP3 sound card...etc.
