    64mb Infineon SDRAM
    4mb permedia2

    Unhappy

    Ok, here's da 411:
    Boards burnt.
    HDDs burnt.
    CPUs ok.
    CDs ok.
    PSU caused it all.
    Well, I can probably only afford to go for a Cyrix MII333 if I have to pay to fix this. At least I still have my dignity - and an SLI rig. Life $UX

    edit~
    Think the HDDs ok - cheap chinese PSU better not have killed my Stick of Infineon, or some comunists are goin' down!!

    hmm - no one cares
