I just got my Ahtlon64 3000+ today. However, I won't be installing it until monday. I was told to make sure my power suplly is compatible with an Athlon 64.....problem is I have no way of telling if my PSU is compatible.

I have a 350watt PSU. Is that enough to run the chip? Or is something else required?

I currently have running:
Athlon XP 2400+
1 Gig PC2100 DDR (2x256, 1x512)
80GB HD
120GB HD
Ati 128Mb Radeon 9800 Pro
Asus A7N8X Deluxe (Ver 2.0)
Audigy Soundcard

350W means nothing to me, if it's a Fortron 350W it can run nearly any PC, if it's a generic it might crash on an old one!
