Running Two Systems with a Single PSU

A lot of users often asked if it was ever possible to run two systems with a single power supply unit. While some users reported success, it wasn't something that we would encourage since most of today's processors would be too power hungry. It may still be possible to power up two of the latest Intel Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2 systems but you may need to get a pretty powerful power supply to get it working.

Fortunately for today, both AMD and Intel have introduced new processors that are less power hungry. Intel's upcoming Conroe processors (known as Intel Core 2 Duo) would draw only about 65W while AMD's low power Athlon X2 processors that were recently announced would draw 65W for the Energy Efficient model and 35W for the Energy Efficient Small Form Factor model. These processors are powerful dual core CPUs which gives you a lot of mileage in terms of compute performance and would make great machines for all sorts of purpose, be it gaming, video rendering or even a workstation.
