As if the 'minimum' manufacturer recommendations had integrity. How about
the 'minimum' system recommendations for games? Just as the game 'minimum'
recommendation is self-serving, so is the 'minimum' power supply
recommendation. You are free to hold whatever illusions you wish, just
don't urge others to share.
