P4 power swap

[Guest]

Is the power supply for the P4 different than for the P3? What about the case itself, can you just swap p/s?

Asus makes a P4 motherboard that can use a standard power supply. The heatsink for the P4 bolts to the motherboard. There are new cases which support this feature, or you should be able to make an old one work.

So the answer is yes?

Yes? OK yes, the power supply is NORMALLY different, but the Asus motherboard can accept EITHER the special or the standard power supply. Yes, you can use a normal case.
