What is the lowest rated PSU I can use?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

You may want to check AMD's web site to see if they have any information.
We certainly don't here, since this newsgroup only supports Microsoft's
Broadband Networking hardware and software.

If it's a Socket A CPU then it will be a mimimun of 350watt. If it's a Slot
A CPU. you may be able to get away with 250watt.
