Wow. I never quite understood termination power, and this might explain 
the recent spate of computer hangs I've been seeing (weird ones, too, 
where it throws up a white screen in multiple langauges telling me to 
restart).

I originally expected heat (the beige G3 chassis doesn't provide for a 
whole lot of current inside it, does it? With a G4/450 upgrade, OC'd to 
500, I expect I generate alot of heat never foreseen in teh beige DT). 
I've used a squirrel cage fan taped down to the chassis and blowing over 
the fins of heatsink, previously I had a homeade "duct" with a fan on the 
side hung off the side where the cards go into direct a little more fresh 
air down to the bowels of the case, I pulled it out on the last upgrade, 
was thinking of re-setting ti up.
