[G4] Power Supply Problem

[Joel Threatt]

Thanks for all the replies gang, but my original gist was to find out , 
also, if the down voltages could be caused by a board problem or it the 
PS the culprit with the drives?
At the moment I am running the original 512 DIMM and so far no more 
panics.  The 256 modules are Spectek, bought together for a PC a while 
ago. The 512 is a Samsung.
