<div class="IPBDescription">AMD 64 3200+ Help...</div> Ive got problems with it, ill stated below:
When trying to update windows(Even though i love/want linux "BF2 doesnt work with it") with the SP2 cd (Fresh install) the computer freezes... Its not just the SP2 cd, any CD will cause the same problems. Some programs shutdown/stop for no reasons, but i fixed that with a Bios update and an exchange for new RAM. My current Spec can be seen in my SIG at any time. Ive had problems with this computer before this, <a href='http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=50600' target='_blank'>Seen here</a> and <a href='http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=48983' target='_blank'>Seen here</a>, and well so far ive done everything i can think of but change the PSU, which is why im posting in this tread... The first link i ask this:<!--QuoteBegin-Me "Black_V!per"+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (Me "Black_V!per")</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->What is Dual +12V rail anyway?
Is it one rail CPU and the other Devices? And if it is how is it better having dual 18 +12V or Single 30 +12V?
Intrested in these PSU's:

So i was wondering, would you guys be able to tell me if my motherboard, stated in my Sig, is able to cope with Dual +12V, and what of these PSU's (Still open for more) i should get. I dont have much of any money, i spent it all on trying to get my computer to work.
Please and thank yous always get the job done, so please and thank you for your support, i hope to become a regular part of this community after i get this rig running. (And yes, im currently running on the problematic computer.)
