I am piecing together an old system to run Win98SE to run some old programs that won't work in XP/Vista. It's an old Sony Vaio with the following specs:
P3 866MHz
512MB SDRAM
Geforce 2 MX400 32MB AGP (plenty fast for what I want to do)
80GB WD
250w PSU of questionable origins
Since my last two computer builds I have been VERY anal with PSU choices. So I know the current one in this sytem is junk plus it's something like 8 years old. I don't even want to power on the system without replacing it. My problem is, this computer was given to me and I'd rather not spend a lot of money on a PSU to get it running. Right now I'm really only looking at one choice that I've found.
