COM,
RE:"My understanding is that the ability of the power supply to deliver a smooth even level of power is as important the the magnitude of power output. "

Speaking of that. If I recall you are using the MSI 6195 K7pro motherboard. (Dan3 uses them too).
Could you do me favor and look in your BIOS under Hardware Monitor and see how steady your Vcore voltages are running? Mine seem to jump around the 1.6V the Vcore is set to.
This jumps around...1.586 to 1.6 to 1.612, back to 1.6 etc...

Also the SDRAM voltages jump around a little...3.3216 to 3.286 or something like that...

I'm wondering if this is normal or my power supply is weak?

CPU temp usually runs between 72 F and 87 F...

Jim

OT Dan, Steve, and Crazyman - Thanks for the advice. I'll get a better PS with my Athlon.
