I will agree the Larry Gagnon says it.Depend on your hardware device to
connect the power supply unit.

This is confusing, so i mailed with the retailer of the Austrian site,
who mailed me back with the answer that the difference the ampère's
are. True Power's do have more ampère. So now i am wondering if there
are also two version of the Blue.
Is there the ANTEC TRUE BLUE (TRUE POWER) 480W and the ANTEC TRUE BLUE
480W????


Be careful they are not selling you a "Smart Blue" rather than "True
Blue". They are still a good PS, but not quite as up to spec.

Do you really need 480W BTW? I run a XP2500 overclocked to 3200,
CDDVDRW, 1 HD, 1 FD, FX5600 video, modem card, Audigy soundcard, with
an Abit NF7S motherboard from an Antec Smart Blue 350 PS with no
problems whatsover.

There is a tendency now days for the computer industry and overclockers
to try to make you believe you need very high powered PS's. This is not
true. Yes, if you have more than one processor but for the average
overclocker with 1 processor, and a few drives, a quality 350W PS is
more than ample.
