Does anybody know whether I need a 300 watts Power supply for this board or I can use my 250 Watter. I am planning to buy a 700 MHZ or 750 Athlon.:confused:

Got my Boards, both work fine. One with a Classic 700 and the other I put I T-bird 800 in. I actually ordered a classic 800 but the vendor screwed up. The t-bird ran fine under the 2AA2 and 2AA4 Bios. Right now I have it running at 1 ghz. 9 x 111 fsb, 1.95v, VOS32. Had it at 1030 ghz but it wasn't as stable as I wanted it. Using a FSP GFD.

i use a 300W and was unstable at 145W (gateway atx case)...just spend a little more to avoid possible stability/troubleshooting headaches...my cpu core is at 1.98V too, and I have tons of peripherals in the computer so 300W your system :p
