You will always want a good over-capacity power supply for an AMD server(or any production server for that matter) I always buy nice heavy 500W+ power supplies for all of my servers whether they be AMD or Intel-based. For AMD I've used TTGI power supplies mostly and for Intel I usually use Antec.

On my 2466, I had alot of problems until I upgraded my power supply to a high quality 500W unit. I seem to remember a while back reading that AMD systems were much more sensitive to power issues that comparable Pentium units.
