Hey guys, I'm wondering if you could help me out. I've got an old no name psu powering a local server comp at home, and it's having some odd video problems. I switched the card with a spare, and it too does the same thing. Checked the rails they were fine, but when I used an oscilloscope, I noticed the p-p waveform was about 140ish mV (hope I don't offend any EE's or electricians with any improper terminology, I'm just a CE 
). Would swapping caps improve the voltage regulation or is that controlled by some other piece of hardware?
Also, on an unrelated note, for a pci device, can someone explain to me which of the um, 'pins', are the voltage inputs for 5v and 3.3v? Is that even how it works? For a reference, I just gis'ed this:

Any input would be greatly appreciated
PS. Wow that's a really cool emoticon!
