    which power supply?

    At the moment i have a enermax noise taker 370 watts

    I have 1 hard drive - 80 gig
    1 dvd dive
    1 dvd rw
    1 sound card
    1 usb x 5 slots
    3 sticks of ram
    his ati x1300 turbo 256 meg graphics card

    the graphics card says i need a 450 watts psu but when i went to this certain site where it calculates how much power you use it said i needed a 238 or there abouts power supply so is 450 watts really needed or would my old one be powerful enough?

    my mother board is a gigabyte ga-7vaxp with 2000 xp amd cpu

    thanks

    I would think a noisetaker 370 would suffice, they give a cautious 450W recomendation on the basis of a lot f people using cheap units. A Noisetaker has two 12V+ lines and they have decent enough output to handle that card I would think.
