This stabilizers also transform 240 to 120V AC, so, our > energy is 240V but almost ALL devices run switched to 120V. I'm sorry but what's the difference between running it at 120V or 240V? (besides the stabilizer) BTW, my PC equipment is running off an APS UPS that does power surges and I presume stabilizer as well. -- Ow Mun Heng -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
