Besides, Happened to me. Scheduled power outage in our office building on a Saturday. We powered off all PC's and pulled out all the plugs. In the end, the block with my workstation (a Sun) kept breaking because three Sun 21" monitors did the same soft poweroff trick. > } Most ATX-based motherboards are real bad in this respect, sucking > } kilowatts of power when they get plugged in, and no way to disable this > } (no real on/off switch). > Kilowatts?

RE: PIIX4?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Actually, it's quite interesting because at my school, we had a couple servers running in the tech office because there was no space left in the server room. The admin's computer was on a UPS, and the 2 servers were on surge suppressors. There was a power-related problem, and it kept "flickering" - turning off and back on rapidly. Well, the 2 servers stayed up just fine, and the admin's workstation kept turning off. It was, of course, a faulty UPS, but still, it kind of makes you think. :-) (Eventually, the power went out long enough for the servers to go down, but, the servers being netware and all, they had no problem.)
