Re: BUGG-POWER BREAKTHROUGH: Twin motherboard plugs

[buggie@musca.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

Well, even giant accessories wont make the load hit 200 watts!
The power unit will always be running below its full capacity.  But 
having double-power plugs on the board will ensure that whatever power is 
required will get to the motherboard.  A large power unit (150 watts or 
200 watts) will run cold because the load wont be near its capacity.
