I'm looking for a power supply for a dual Athlon XP1800 Palomino system I'm putting together. Using the Asus A7M266-D motherboard. The spec calls for: 10mA on the +5 Volt standby lead (+5vsb). I can't seem to find this anywhere. Any help?
That is fairly standard for ATX power supplies. Any good quality PSU will do that, just make sure you get one that provides sufficient power for two athlons. (400w recommended)
Just wanted to verify that I DON"T need a special power supply for the dually machine. I unfortunately asked the wrong question when I was buying the 400w and they convinced me it needed to be special. They even called the distributor and asked. The Distributor said I needed a 460w special power supply that would cost $150. Wanted to verify before I blew up my new system!
Its quite possible you are looking at the Tyan Thunder, which does take a proprietary PSU of 460W. Now if you go with one of the later boards like the TigerMP or MPX versions, a good quality 400 Watt like the ANTEC will do you fine and use a standard ATX 20 PIN main power cable.
