u might need to a little bit define the word 'normal'...is it capalang psu...this mobo requires constant juice...how height izzit depends on what is ur attention...normal use or oc kaw2 type...if not enuff juice...u may get the power led blinking once and awhile...and restart loop may happen...happened to me once...forgot to connect the fdd connector to the board...when i booted the pc...got blinking power led...nice to watch thou but could never load properly...my at least get some pure or truepower la...maybe 450w...that one depends on what's ur system capacity...maybe sifus around here can give some tips...

i meant the normal capalang rm50 450W PSU with 24 pin connecter...well i wont be OC-ing it yet till i have the $$$ to go for a good PSU...my question is can the MB work on a capalang PSU jus 4 normal usage?

btw, how much is alphamatics selling the ultra-d?
