Can any one tell me what the exact power requirements are for an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo? I looked in the manual but it only mentions the 5V & 12V but no specific amperages though.

Also, from which rail (3.3V or 5V) does the RAM draw?
I understand that a AXP 2800+ draws from the 12V, is that correct?
A Radeon 9600Pro draws from the 3.3V, how much?

Ok, all these question, why? Because I want to use an older case and PSU initially and migrate to a new case & PSU in a couple of months. My initial setup will be:

A7N8X-E Deluxe
Radeon 9600 Pro
One CDROM drive
One ATA HD
One Floppy drive
2 case fans

Once I get a new case & PSU, I will switch to SATA/RAID 1.

Thanks.

I'd just hook it up and try it. Nobody seems to rate their power supplies the same way anyway. You won't hurt the board, if the power supply is really weak you'll blow the fuse and it needed to be replaced anyway.
