Re: <00> Power Sources

I believe the heat given off by a processor is way to little energy for
that type of power supply to be beneficial even in a mixed supply type
setup. Generally from what I have seen of these setups, they have a large
heatsource that has a rather constant heat generation. A processor can get
really hot but that is just very little energy in a small volume. A small
heatsink with a small fan is enough to keep a hot processor extremely
cool(unless it is an Intel chip, LOL)... If anyone has more insight,
please correct me if need be......
