How are you today Jim ?

 JH> What I'd like to have for ATX PS testing is a box with
 JH> multi-lightbulbs, and pin points for reading voltages, which would test
 JH> all of the various voltages at one time, during reasonable power
 JH> loadings.

 Newer systems have a BIOS option that gives all these readings. It is
 called here: Mainboard monitor and on booting, before it gets to
 loading Windows, on the BIOS screen, I can see all this, fan RPMs, core
 voltage and all.

 That PRG that I mentioned to you, Aida will also give you all this
 information but you need a MoBo that has these pickup points. Find one
 and keep it at MCF. But as you say, if it boots after one beep all is
 good, I would say.
