Is this a decent power supply? I am planning to run a AMD 64 3000+....

Sale ends in a couple hours, let me know, thanks.

Newegg's "sales" aren't really anything special to look at. I would save up for a better PSU.

Yea, I think I might go with another. The AMD 64 mobo's will work with most any P4 ready PSU's right?

It depends. If you are looking at a nforce3/via mobo then they will need a regular 20-pin ATX connector. The newer nforce4 mobos will most likely require a EPS SSI 24-pin ATX connector. My advice is to get a 24-pin PSU so you can future-proof your PSU as much as possible. A good quality PSU will cost you around the $80 range and higher. Those Rosewell and other generic PSU's may say they are rated for a certain amount of watts/amps, but in a real world scenario they will fall very short of those claims.

I'm reading they're not supposed to be all that good, around the same level as 'Aspire' (no idea how good they are). People are saying reviews mentioning the 12v rail hovering around 11.7v.

Dunno though, can't actually find the reviews yet smile.gif
