Dear Jukka & List,

I've been told that the 667 mhz CPU uses much less power than the
older 750, which lit up just fine with the Enermax 465p. The Enermax
had the extra, 6-pin AT-style connector that is needed for the UP2000.
It was labeled "Aux" and I'd guess there are other PSUs that have it.

I think this PSU is probably OK, unless you are going to run a lot of
hard drives and cards. The PSU that meets spec, of course, is the
$370 PC P&C 600.

good luck

jn

Well, aren't they both EV67? According to this
http://www.geek.com/procspec/dec/21264a.htm, there's not much difference in
power consumption, 667 80W and 750 90W. Anyway it's nice
to know that Enermax can handle that. I'll probably try get that 460W 465P, if
that's known to work.

Yes, actually I have that PSU, but it has some nasty looking bulging
caps, so I don't feel comfortable using it anymore. Also it's so damn
big and loud

Could always solder new ones on. Works for me !

Yes, I'm working on it. Still it's damn big and noisy!
