Hi again everyone...

How to tell how much Power Supply a system needs? I've recently upgraded my
system and am wondering if I have the power needed to run everything ok. My
system now:

250 watt ATX  power supply
Pentium 3 450MHz
128MB PC-100 Ram
Western Digital 20.1GB HD DMA/66 5400rpm
Western Digital 6.4GB HD DMA/33 5400rpm
Iwill DMA/66 Controller (for next two drives)
Western Digital 20.1GB HD DMA/66 7200rpm
Western Digital 4.3GB HD DMA/33 5400rpm
Mitsumi 24x CDrom reader
Mitsumi 2801TE CD-r
ATi All-in-Wonder Pro Video
Sound Blaster AWE-64 Sound
3.5' Floppy Drive
56K WinModem
Diamond Homefree Telephone Network card

Is there any formula for figuring out how much a system needs for power?

Thanx in Advance
