I posted here and a couple other forums about a Soyo motherboard and not
being able to get it to accept memory in more than one DIMM. Finally gave up
and did this instead:

Gigabyte K8N Pro w/AMD64 3200+
1 GB (2X512) Kingston HyperX CL2 PC3200 DDR
2 WD SATA Raptor HD
Radeon 9800 Pro (OEM 128 MB)
Plextor 708A DVD+/- R/RW & CD RW
Apacer embedded 7 in 1 Card Reader
Crystal Fontz 634 LCD
FrontX multimedia + firewire bay
Kept the case and Enermax 465 VE power supply

So, before all this arrives, is there a reliable way to test my power supply
to insure it wasn't the cause of my original problem (Soyo Dragon +
literally fried, and same board (spare, used) wouldn't accept 2nd DIMM of
RAM). Running one stick of RAM, I was able to boot, and MBM5 said all
voltages were w/i 5% of nominal....good enough, or do I need to check
further?

Thanks,
