[chris1046]

Looking for info as to what type and watt power supply I would need for this board Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW+, I could'nt find any thing at there web site or at newegg's. I am hoping some one out there has one and will let me know.


Thanks,

In a nut shell, any ATX power supply of at least 350w will work well with that motherboard.

well, I see that it is a dual board and with RAID etc.

If you plan on running dual athlons and several hard drives in RIAD etc you definitely want a good brand name supply...maybe 400watts or higher...obviously two cpu's will draw some power and several hard drives will also.

I think there was a trick where you can use dual Athlon XP's as opposed to the higher priced MP's. Do a google for it.

I have several of those mobo, with your basic setup I am able to run XP2200+ with an Antec 300w ps which came with the case.

As JP said unless you plan on loading the box to the gill a good quality 300 watter or higher PS will get you going.

Here is the info to convert an XP to an MP cpu. I got it someplace, I don't know where.

Convert Athlon XP cpu to an MP version

Athlon XP to MP

Simply paint the 4th L5 bridge and your XP becomes an MP.

With this mod your XP won´t be displayed as an MP but you will be able then to use the CPU in a dual CPU Mobo.
