Here's your CPU support list.

I was trying to work out what to do with that list for a while before I
realised the mistake. I meant PSU. Sorry.

Which it wasn't -or at least I have just blown another or something. I
spent all day trying to get Win 98 to accept broadband on this stinker
so I haven't even looked at waht happened but it just switched off in
the middle of a post and that was it.

I put a 350 W PSU in that night. Next morning: POP!!.
I can't think how many of them I will be getting through before I find
out what causes it. How on earth do they go about it in a shop?
