Hi folks,
I've been digging about trying to find a decent PSU with good 5V rail for build I'm planning.
Motherboard: Epox 8K5A3+ with an Athlon 3000+
I'll be running 3DFX cards 5500, and others upto the FX 5950 Ultra.
Having looked online I see a lot of newer power supplies actually have pretty weak 5V rails, since modern motherboards mostly use the 12V.
The only Powersupply I've found so far that seems to have an okay 3.3v + 5V rail is the BeQuiet PurePower 11 700W
It has a combined 3.3v + 5V of 150W. The cheaper, and lower end version drop wattage in those rails pretty quickly.
Although it feels kind of silly spending so much on a 700W to run a Windows 98, and XP system.
Does anyone have any other recommendations that they would suggest?
