Thrall posted some of these, maybe this one as well. As this comes up so very often I am going to make it a sticky. I will see about moving, combining all the PSU issues into one.

It is serious, it will result in your comp maybe switching off at random or worse may burn out, although unlikely.

Mine says 272W. For my current setup. My PSU at the moment is about 350W. So I have more than enough head room
I just checked what I would need for a future setup. 277W. That is not bad. I wont need a new PSU

What are your specs? I highly doubt you're drawing 500watts, unless you have two high end SLI cards or a overclocked rig with a 8800GTX.

All you guys with high requirements are not thinking here... :p
You have a SINGLE PROCESSOR, and not a dual processor. The list of processors list the dualcore processors just fine... :p

Awesome. And who told me that you need a 400W PSU for a 6600GT and a C2D?
