Micro ATX - Power concerns!?

**haileris** · 10-15-2004, 04:06 AM

Hi

Hope someone out there can give me a quick confirmation. I'm buying an Opus 150W power supply and want to run something like this in the car:

Asus P4P800-VM "i865G" Micro ATX (Socket 478) Motherboard
Mobile Pentium 4/1.5ghz 1mb
512MB RAM
1 Full Hard drive
1 DVD ROM drive

Will the 150Watt Opus have the muscle? Looked at several posts and looks like should do but hoping someone can give me a steer before I part with the cash!

Thanks
Drew

Thanks! Yep, looked at that but got a bunch of questions such as the inbuilt video card - how much should I allow for that? Choose the lowest of the video cards mentioned? Memory is different (but probably not much different), processor is different (can probably work that out though) etc.

The other thing is that when I use this its very hard to get the Wattage below 150, but then I know that other people are using this kind of setup. Hence the question
