As an adjunct to this thread. I noticed a strange thing today. The
machine with this noisy supply makes less noise, at least on the
soundcard if you take out the two ramsticks attached to its usb
ports.


Can't be, ram only goes in dedicated mobo slots. (or occasionally for
ramdrives on a pci card) AFAIK there's absolutely no way to attach ram
via USB.. for starters usb access is waaay too slow for that.. did you
mean something else?

Maybe Brian just means ram in the standard sense. i.e. they are random
access memory which you can read and write as you wish.

Although in principle of course, with *nix systems you can map out physical
devices however you chose, although it might be mad to treat an ordinary
USB stick as part of the main running memory in most cases. No idea if
Windows allows such things as I don't use it.

Slainte,
