Ok folks, here is the situation.
Interrupted the flashing of my bios and now my mobo is screwed. Could probably just get a new bios chip from Intel but I figured that I would just upgrade since I was messing around in there anyway. Now I presently have an Intel D845bg mobo running a p4 2.0a gig 400fsb chip with 512 ddr 2100 ram. These also are hooked up:
Dvd drive
cdrw drive
3.5 floppy
100 gig hd
soundblaster live 5.1 card
networking card
firewire expansion card
Geforce 6800 non ultra non GT
This is all on a 300 watt power supply.
Now.....I found a good deal on an Asus P4S8X-X with a P4 2.4 gig w/ 533 FSB. I know that more power would be preferable, but right now the mobo and the chip are all that I can get. Will 300 watt be enough or should I expect to have problems. If problems are coming then please tell me what the minimum is that I could go up to and be happy.
Much thanks
