Can't use Kostik's Cpu Power calculator

Hi,
I've tried using this, but I can't click on the process button at the bottom right in order to calculate power ratings. Could someone who has it working calculate the power for an Athlon XP 2100 thoroughbred at 1.1v Vcore and 1064 clock? Much obliged if you can.

It's 18 watts.

Do you know that you can just hit Enter after you've typed in the new values?

Ach, I'm a fool.... a fool I tell you. Thankyou for your help! I've just done that and it works.

I don't suppose anyone has managed to use one of those brick psus to power an athlon setup? I've seen ones that claim to work with intel boards, and seeing as the most stenuous workout the pc gets is internet and excel, I'm trying to cut down noise even further.

Tino, I am thinking about trying a brick PSU on my underclocked and undervolted Barton 25000+, so if you do try it out I am very interested in the results.

Ha-ha, it's like a dare to see who goes first! Well out of politeness I must say after you dear fellow!

Seriously though, I'd like to get a laptop drive and use it in a silentdrive as my next upgrade, and then I'll think about the psu. I'm running a Zalman with a 5v L1A at the moment, and I'm not sure how long it will last even if it is at low power.

Once everything else is in place I will mesure the total power drawn by the machine. If it seems low enough and I can afford the brick PSU I will give it a go.

That sounds good. I would do it right away if I hadn't forked out for a new camera the other day!
