I need to buy a psu for my pentium 3 build. I currently have a weird proprietary gateway psu rigged up temporarily. I have had trouble finding out if I need a -5V line and what kind of wattage or amperage my parts would draw on each of the voltage lines (3.3v 5v and/or 12V). I would love to just slap in a modern 750W psu and call it a day, but I’m not sure if that would work based on 3.3/5v vs 12v draw and need for -5v. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
