warnign though, as one who has bought a voltage converter in Oz, because of the 
physical arrangement of the converters heatsink, and the Micronics riser card, 
I had to "modify" the heat sink.  In my case in entailed removal of the 
heatsink and replacing it with something I hope will last the test of time...

If you want a 5v dx100 you need to get a dx100 overdrive chip. of course intel 
dont make them anymore...

cheers,
