Yeah, it was a much older power supply... not as old as me, but almost as old as an 8088... I called my T-bird a 1400, because I thought they had already done that "equivalent" stuff. All it ever did was confuse me. Somebody would usually say "my computer is gonna mop the floor with yours!"... Little while later, they'd say "what do you have ~in~ that thing?"... Unfortunately, they dropped the PCI bus with the dual core machines, and I still have a semi-professional PCI sound card that I was doing a lot of work with, especially back then, so I had to go back to intel. Now I've got two teenage boys, I've had to retire, and I can't afford a combo package from eBay... - I'll get me one of them bad-boy 16-core 32-thread thingies one of these days. 'Course, by then, they'll be doing 64 core, 512 concurrent thread thingies... and be using light pipes for data transmission in-the-box...
