Hi All

I bought a PNY Quadro FX 3000 card from an American supplier. I live in
Australia.
Could there be voltage concerns that may damage my new card under Australian
voltages????

Thanks All
Tony

All ATX PSU and motherboards use the same voltages, while your house may
run on 220, it won't usually hurt the system. So long as you've got
some sort of conditioning in your lines or your house has been
conditioned, you shouldn't get voltage spikes from bad lines either.
That's pretty much your biggest concern is bad power.

Voltages INSIDE a PC are universal all over the world(+5V, +12V), its
strictly the input power from the outlet or "mains" to the pc that may be
different.
