Thank you for your time what is the calculated wattage for a socket 939, Winchester, Athlon 64 3000 (or Athlon 64 3200), 6600 or 6600GT, MSI nforce3 939 board or Epox 939 board, 2 dimms = 1GB, 80GB SATA? What should be the amperage on the power supply on the 3.3, 5, 12 lines? I'm on a budget and the Task case I plan to buy comes with a 300w power supply. Please advice.

If it's a 754 socket, how much more or lesser is the wattage for an Athlon 64 3000 or 3200 scoket 754 using the most basic socket 754 ECS board?

Will wattages be significantly different

you've asked this at least 3 times now. go to the manufacturers' sites. they will tell you wattage. it's literally the first answer in the AMD faq. why should we do your research for you? those cheap PSUs that come with cases are rarely what they say they are, so don't count on 300 watts. get a decent power supply, it's worth it.
