Hey I just purchase a GA-MA74GM-S2 to upgrade my parents computers(2) from old socket 462 AMD's. I'm debating on getting another or a different 740G for the other one.
Anyway these are lower power very basic use, Internet browsing.
2x 740G mobo's
2x x4850e cpu's
2x 2GB corsair 800mhz 1 stick each
existing HDD and cd drive
I was planning on reusing the PSU's that I have, they both have 20pin connectors instead of 24pin. Last I knew this was acceptable. Both PSU's have the 4pin connectors.
1 is a 350w Antec SL350 which I bought in early '04 or late '03
The other is the factory eMachines that my mom purchased in '03. Its a 250w Bestec ATX-250-12E.
Am I stupid for trying to use these PSU's, well the Bestec anyway?
I have an Extra Thermaltake purepower 460w that I used on my old socket 939 dual core till I got an Antec TP3 550w over a year ago.
Or I see a great deal on a Corsair 400w. Just seems silly to have 400-460w on a computer that will barely pull 100w full load.
I'm really not trying to spend money other than the cpu's/mobo's/ram.
Thanks in advance
