What will happen to the socket A mobo if the power supply just 250W??
will the system become unstable or what??

I have one 250W PS and don't feel like to change it if it is possible.
any comments??

if your running to 80mm case fans it will efect the load on the psu you might want to get a biger psu and if you overclock I would for sure get a biger psu and a name brand...... but you might as well give that 250 a shot it might be OK. I my self hate low power psu and would never use one.....

I use a 250 watt with a socket A... I've also got:
2 80mm case fans
1 Taisol HSF on the chip
1 RDJD on my GF2 GTS

No probs at all, although I plan to get a 300 watt PSU when I get my new Antec case = )

it seems 250W psu is not a big problem here.
i can save money for another thing here.
