haha, this is funny, I was going through my email archives and found an e-mail corespondence with Brian J. Schulteis(UnaClocker) I thought that was funny seeing that I just recently discovered this msg board and he's a part of it. Here's the 2 e-mails(both replies from him):

Thanks for the tip, I have considered that.. I could definately be
topping out the power supply, I'll probably pick up a nice 300 sometime in
the near future..

Yeah.. I'd like to get a K7V at the same time I get the 300watt power
supply, because the voltage regulators on the K7V are the best of any Athlon
motherboard right now, from what I've heard from other people.. It usually
hols the voltage within .005 of what you set it to.. And sounds like they
can handle high amperage alot better..
