Ok, I'm re-thinking the HP XW4600.

I ran one of those power supply calculators to see how close it would be on the 5v rails, and it looks pretty marginal, and well over if I had two EDS cards (definitely want to add another card). I have picked up in the threads here that the EDS cards don't like to be short on power. I know that often when you push a power supply hard it may still maintain the volts/amps at the right level, but start to get a lot of ripple which can upset digital components. So the problems could be intermittent and appear to be unrelated to power issues.

I figured no problem, upgrade the power supply. Not easy with HP using proprietary PSUs, and although people have got other PSUs working with mods I'm not confident. It might just be easier to pick up one of the Asus or Gigabyte boards that others have reported as working. Then I can add whatever PSU I want.

The other issue is that PSUs are moving more towards having big powerful 12v rails and regular levels on the 5v rail due to all the crazy gaming graphics cards that people are running these days.

Maybe I'm overthinking this! I think the HP XW4600 would run ok with a single EDS card, so maybe I should use that for a while - they are cheap as chips and the 475watt PSU in the XW4600 would have to be able to supply a full 25watt on a single PCI slot surely. It would also give me a Win 7 COA for a lot less than buying the software separately. I haven't even got a second EDS card yet anyway.
