Err ... I mistyped, it's a 250W PSU. But after surfing a bit, it seems it's way out of specs. So well ... I'll have to go and buy a bigger one, something like a 400W I think. Thanks a lot for the tip. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
