More Power

Nov. 30, 2001

My new PC came yesterday. After spending all evening putting the thing together, I couldn't get it to boot properly. After hours searching the web until late into the night, I realized that the power supply in my new case is only 250 Watts. The Athlon XP series clearly requires at least 350 Watts to function, preferably 400. Oops. So, today going to pick up a new power supply on the way home from work, and then I'll be able to enjoy my new machine. And there was much rejoicing.
