Thanks Scott. The CPU is a CyrixIII 550. Is my power supply cool enough? I
don't know its specs.

Hi George,

You didn't say what kind of CPU you have, but that's a relatively low
temperature for any system. You must have it in a room with an air
temperature of 72F or lower.

Depending upon the CPU, the temperature should be below about 150F or
so.  Go to the AMD or Intel web site to find out the recommended
temperature limit for your specific CPU.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
