How big is the power supply? If its 250 watt, then you KNOW that your
computer cannot use MORE than that.
Depending on the configuration of the computer, when we are estimating
office layouts, I think we estimate 2~3 AMPS per workstation. And MORE of
course for a laser printer which can draw 10+ Amps on startup.
If you REALLY wanna know... heh heh... take a few power strips, plug into
1 20 amp circuit, slowly add pm 2's (or 3's) until the circuit breaker
trips.
