Hehehe been looking at PSU's etc today, and I think AMD say 250W and above,
but *recommend* a 300W PSU for Athlons. Then again, it also depends what
you've got in your PC aswell, my mate was running his with a 250W PSU until
he added a few cards, now it struggles so he's upgrading. Where as mine
(which is only a K6-2 550MHz atm) has so many cards and drives crammed in
it, it stuggles on a 250W PSU anyway :-)
There was some page I was looking at which had operative temperatures on it
with various coolers and one was 74�C!! So you should be ok, for a while
anyway ;)))
