lm_sensors help

[Jerry McBride]

When I built my first Athlon computer, I stupidly thought I could use the
existing power supply... I mean just for a week or so I would look into an
upgrade for it. The existing supply was one of those made in china, 250watt
specials that I picked out of a pile from work. Needless to say, the finished
computer gave me endless headaches until I upgraded to a 400 watt Antec. Since
that little experience, I've had no problems at all.

It's at least worth looking into.
