They are dissipating the same massive amount of current anyway. Those guys work on current, not voltage, that's why they are power hogs. >-- >Tom Stiemerling, Computer Science Department, Edinburgh University, >Edinburgh, UK. : 031-667 1081 : T.R.Stiemerling@uk.ac.edinburgh George Kyriazis kyriazis@turing.cs.rpi.edu kyriazis@rdrc.rpi.edu ------------------------------
