God! I hate the geforce!

Jammrock, I wouldn't completely agree with you about when the power supply goes out it takes everything with it. I can only speak from one data point, because I've only had one p/s go out on me.

I have an ol PPro system with SCSI and all kinds of stuff working on a 250W power supply. I added 128MB of ram, and everything was going ok. Then one evening about a week later, in the middle of doing something, *poof*, it dies. I got a wiff of an electrical burnout in the air. The power supply went belly up on me. However, within a couple of days I got a new case & p/s (I wanted a FULL tower SuperMicro SC-750) with a 300W p/s and moved everything over. Everything worked...mobo, cpu, ram, cards, hd, cdrom, etc. The only thing that died was the power supply.

Sometimes nothing goes out with your power supply, sometimes most of your system goes out. It just depends on what type of blow-out it is. I had the kind that took out my computer. Just look at my sig and hear my tale.

My computer was working great until my brand new "top-of-the-line" power supply committed ritual suicide, after only 24 hours of use, and took out 2 motherboard (mine and a test board), 2 hard drives and possibly more...a moment of silence please, in rememberance of a valiant computer that served me well.

Sorry, had to vent.
