What size power supply for a Duron?

I have a Inwin full tower, I've had it for ages, and it only has a 235 watt ps. It's running a Cell566 running 850 now. I'm upgradeing to a Duron 650, which I will o'c. Is the ps enough? Other specs are 256megs ram, Voodoo3, pci sound card, dvd drive, cdrw, 2 case fans,and a 7200rpm Maxtor 30 gig.
 
Might be enough if it is a high quality (Sparkle) PS. You can always try it and see what happens.
 
I've recently built a Duron 700 w/ an Aopen 235W PSU.. no problems there. The Duron isn't nearly as picky about PSU size as the Tbird and Athlon classic.
 
Durons max out at 22.9 watts if I recall. The new 850 adds about 2 watts. TBIRDS max at well over 50 watts. Overclocking and over-voltage will obviously increase the load.
