Off-topic from anything here but maybe someone will know...

There is a program that lets you input your PC hardware and it will tell you how much power is required to run it, for choosing a PSU. Anyone remember what it is? I had it several months ago but can't remember the name. I was just about to order some upgrades along with a new PSU, and I want to make sure that I get one powerful enough for my project.

Nevermind! Found it. This is what I was looking for; http://psucalc.net/

Just like not maxing out your hard drive, you'll want to have plenty of overhead for your new PC. If you're going to use 300 watts of power, get a 500-600 watt PSU, for example.




Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.
