You make a compelling argument.  I had never heard of E-Wiz.  I'll have to
check out resellerratings.

The current PSU is CoolMax 325W.  You can't buy it anymore on Newegg, but I
posted the ratings on this list about a month ago.  I think it was 12A or
15A on the +12V.  Probably the former.  I think an upgrade is strongly
suggested if I'm going to run a 6600GT.  It may run, but who knows if I'll
have stability issues are the PSU ages and such.

I think I will look again at the nForce3 boards, though.  With the ~ $118
price for the cheapest A64 and AGP 3.0 support on the nForce3 boards, going
A64 is starting to appear more realistic now.

Thanks.
