Well, in terms of the power supply what was non-standard about it? (Sorry,
it was a while ago I read the article), but this is a trend that's been
going on for quite a while. Intel added a new Rev to the ATX spec for the
P4.....faster chips need more power....trust me, I work on Alphas where a
600 Watt power supply isn't out of the ordinary!
