[QUOTE="Mars Warrior, post: 39789, member: 10351"] Yes, indeed, this configuration is very similar to mine!!! THANK YOU for this information :D :D I assume you have the same A64 as I have in my PC, which indeed needs about 60W under load. So, the 100W sounds ok to me. However an A64 3800+ Venice only takes 30W at full load! So I assume that your 72W is a very good guess for the powerdraw using a Venice core... Again, taking this and the extra startup power needed, an 120W PSU should be enough. And in the mean time I found laptop PSU's that can deliver even 150-180W, so I guess by combining one of those with the already mentioned 120/200W DC converters, there is enough power for the proposed configuration...
