Re-use The Old PSU.

[chau_ya]

Hi Experts,
My PC currently has a P2-slot1 Mainboard. I want to upgrade to an AMD mainboard. Assuming my current PSU has sufficient juice, my question is whether its output connector has the same pin configurations as those designed for AMD mainboards(So it will not damage my new MB) in terms of voltage outputs and physical configuration (so it will fit)?
Thanks all for helping. My knowledge in this area is so limited.
Regards.

I'm pretty sure that all psu use the same connectors. Do you know what the voltage rating of your's is?

Tempus,
Thank for helping me. Mine is rated at 250W.
Regards.

Well then it doesn't even matter if it fits. You <i>should</i> use atleast a 300W PS. I recommend a 350W or 400W though.
