Node power supply

[Joel Jaeggli]

the rating for the powersupply is the peak load it can handle not how much
it will actually draw, a 300watt powersupply with a shouldn't draw any more
than a 250 under the same load...

that being said amd hasn't certifed any powersupply rated under 300watts
for the 1.3ghz athlons...
