I may have one spare, but you'll have to collect in cork. Am changing to a
300W myself on Sat (hopefully!), so my 200W will be put aside.

Only if the motherboard supports it. If the motherboard is relatively new
then there is a good chance, but if more than 2/3 years then probably not.

Depends on the cards and drives. I had 2 hard disks, DVD and CD-RW with
some older cards. Then upgraded video to Voodoo3, sound to SBlive and got
two new UDMA66 drives. Also upgraded to K6-2 500Mhz. Now things are getting
a bit strained. Unplugging the CD-RW seems to do the trick for the time
being.

With the P133 I would expect that you should be okay.

Hope that's of use.

If your interested in the PSU drop me a line.
