What voltages does the Athlon XP use

[BigBadBob]

I've read that the Athlon XP gets its power from the 12v rail like the Pentium 4. I've also read that the Athlon XP gets all its power from the 3v and 5v rails. Does anybody know for sure which way it is. I'm trying to decide on a new power supply.

Thank you,
Bob

from what i've understood, it depends mostly on having a stable 3.3 and 5 volt rail...
