[ale] Ot: ddr3 dual mode

[DjPfulio]

I use cheap power supplies. 

Would much rather spend money on a quality ups. Only once in 30 plus years has a power supply caused issues.

 However, I have been purchasing Seasonic ultra quiet PSU's the last 8 years. Quiet is more important than anything else to me these days. 

Plus none of my systems requires more than 150 watts of power so those huge 750 watt power supplies are a complete waste in my environment.  If you stay away from AMD desktop CPUs and Intel Core i7 CPUs then the power requirements are much less.
