Do AMD chips require a 300W PSU or will they work with a 250W one ?? Thinking in particular about the XP1600...

Sometimes they do sometimes they don't, its best to get a 300w to be safe.

Please place it in the Hardware forum next time ;)

Well, in here it took 2 minutes for a reply, would have taken a lot longer in technical forum methinks... hence the aptly named thread ;)

... yep, but if you are a pauper, my Duron (uber-pauper) 800 hasn't done any harm at all, PIII might do big chunky stuff a bit quicker, but if you don't need it, why bother?

TBH I was a tad aprehensive about Duron ("ohh it'll make your computer crash" - nope, "ooohhh it's shit slow" - not compared to the old 166 it replaced it isn't).

It depends entire on what you wanna do, but with Duron "bottom of the pile" in this respect, I can't knock it for what it does.

<--P4 1.9Ghz owner and glad of it.

Used to have an Athlon 700 system that was so FUCKING UNSTABLE it was untrue. Fucking thing crashed twice per day on average easy. It got worse towards the end though, culminating in a nice 12 "reboot to a bluescreen" scenario.

That pissed me off completely, and within 5 days I had me new system:

P4 1.9Ghz
GF3 64Mb Asus V8200 Deluxe
100Gb hdd
512Mb RDRam
SBLive! Value
CD-RW/DVD Combo drive
M$ Office Keyboard
M$ Gamevoice
M$ Intellimouse Optical

Rarely crashes, and when it does it's usually my fault :)

Your crashes are hardly likely to be as a result of your AMD processor now, are they? ARE they?

I notice you've replaced pretty much every component and hey presto! Everything's okay, now! How does that point to the processor being at fault?

You people... I dunno....

My old system:

Athlon 700
256Mb PC133 Ram
GF2 32Mb
30Gb hdd
SBLive Value
M$ hardware as above.

Both systems running Win2K Pro & WinXP

So yeah, it was the processor. CCL Computers where I got it from are famed for selling dodgy CPUs. And Athlons are notoriously unreliable in combination with certain hardware (Geforce cards for one).

The system I had before the athlon BTW was exactly the same, bar a P2 mobo and a P2-300.

So guess what component was at fault...?

Only a plum could ever try and link a single component to crashing.

So apart from:

The Motherboard
The CPU
The RAM
The GFX Card
The Hard Drive

It was exactly the same system?

Anyone else reminded of a scene from Life of Brian?

:)
