Which psu for XP Barton 2500?

enduser · 06-09-2003, 08:26 PM

I was thinking about getting a XP2500 Barton and noticed most listings for power supplies on the shopping sites don't tell what cpu is supported. I wouldn't mind getting the XP2500 if the psu doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Can someone recommend one that is good but yet not real expensive? Thanks.

Depends on what you mean by "Arm & a leg"

Here's mine:

Enermax EG465P-VE

I can attest to that very well now

I have the XP2500 Barton chip.. and the 350 W enermax runs it like a pro. And thats withi all my other devices as well. dont cheapen for a generic PSU if you want to ensure the life of your PC

I ordered a PREMIER CP0-PR-TM7673WP 350W Mid Tower ATX Case w/ Window from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...roperty&DEPA=1

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I read a review on the newegg site where one guy is using this psu with a xp2400, and it is ok.

I used a generic 300w psu for years right up until i had my xp2000, i now have this mentioned processor with the Barton core and i upgraded (lol) to a Qtec 400w Silent (lol) Psu

It runs my system fine, for specs see the "bragging rights" thread.

Although on my next system i have got hold of a 350w antec so i might swap them around and give that one a try
