no, p4 need a lot of current, and big gpu's. But for most people a GOOD 360W |

The watt printed on the package does not say anything about the quality of the |
| 21 |
PSU or its maximum 'combined' output. So if you tell him to buy a 400W PSU is |
| 22 |
like telling someone to buy a '2000ccm (2 Liter) car'. There are lots of cars |
| 23 |
with 2liter engines. And a lot of them are crap ;) |
