Thanks for your replies you're being most helpful.  I have a 300 Watt power
supply but my BIOS reports the voltage at only 3.28.  I'm running a TNT1
card, 2 hard drives and two CD-ROMs (1 rewritable), a creative soundblaster
plus an ethernet card.  Would I be able to up the voltage by purchasing an
abit BE6-2 motherboard?

Thanks,

- Bill
