What is the minimum power supply wattage needed for a Pentium 2.4GHz system?
- by scottmarlowe
It looks like I've got a dead Antec True 330 power supply in an older desktop that has an Intel D845PESV motherboard, a Pentium 2.4GHz processor, 2 dvd/cd writers, 2 hard drives, and other typical devices.
I have an even older computer that is not being used that has a 200W power supply. Can a 200W power supply drive what I've listed above?
Or, put another way, what is the minimum power supply specs for the above system?
(A new 350W power supply will run me $30--so buying a new one is not a problem--but I'm curious about the question nonetheless).
