Do you really need a special power bar
 

When to buy a computer today and the salesmen said I need to buy a special $50 powerbar that supports 1.5Ghz and up CPUs. Because these cpu's use power differently and it you dont have one your computer might die. is this really nessasary. i got a 1.5ghz running on a 10 year old power bar and I never get any problems.

Are you a female?

You Mean a UPS ? or a Surge Suppressor ?

i think a surge supressor

Jesus Christ.... :disgust

nah you dont need it, it's a good idea to get a ups though to save your pc from a rare power spike.

If you didnt have one I would get one, my house got hit by lightning last year and I lost a bunch of stuff. The computer was saved by a ups with surge suppression.

This is what I got http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_g...5b60bfe24b093e

Your machine will still run w/out it. It's not recommended though. You should definitely get a surge protector. If you do buy one, make sure it's UL/CSA Approved.

Spend some bucks, get a surge protector....UPS, you could probably get away without one

What are the chances of your house getting hit by lighting. Seriously.

you are a girl

Better safe then sorry. :winkwink:

i thought it was gonna be about that too
