    Its 300watts, the thing is am in the middle of a major upgrade to my whole system, I just got a new board that takes Prescott’s (800mhzFSB) the board am using right now only takes 400/533mhz fsb processors, that’s kind of why i thought i might have to buy a 450watt psu. Would having a 450watt psu affect any of my hardware if say i only needed a 350watt? BTW the new board is a MSI 865PE Neo2-P
