Power Supply FAQ

No "backhanded compliment" intended. If this was early 2003, then this would be fine.

It is very well written & very well researched. A excellent job!

Now to update it would require an explination of current mobos that have a p4 connector & use the +12V to power the CPU.
Also a section on today's high +12V demand video cards & their amperage requirements.
Finaly recommending that PSU's for today's computers
have the nVidia recommended +12V@26A for non-SLI & +12V@34A for SLI.

Thank you for the writeup. I came in wondering how the computer uses power when sleeping, and left educated. Much appreciated.
