Power supply

[LFC8]

Does anyone know if there is a program for XP so you can see how much power (in watts) your devices are using up?

Basically i am looking to upgrade some computers from athlons to upto date p4 3ghz with new motherboards / memory etc etc but does that mean i have to upgrade the power supply aswell?

A program like this would help me decide.

Thanks in advance!

Well I would reccomend going to your MotherBoards Bios and it should tell you depending on your motherboard what amount is being used! Also depends if you are overclocking something! If that doesnt work read you mobo manuall or go to its website! Hope this helps NoobX

Also if your going to use the same case I would recommend that you check to see if it is pentium compatible! Most of them are but sometimes you will get one that isnt!

You could try a gogle search for "Power supply wattage calculator". Just be aware that it calculates high.
