Here's one "look" at it by a 3rd party:

No in-line current testing though.  But even they found the
"inconsistency" in reporting of specs between the manual and web site. 
The manual (probably the one CompGeeks used) stated only 180W on 3.3+5V.

I guess if I had to buy a power supply for dual-Athlon again, I'd get
this one:
http://www.antec-inc.com/product/powers/pp510d_spe.html

Primarily because it has almost 30A on the +12V.  Although it is
designed for the K7 Thunder's funky 8-pin +12V.  I wonder how it does on
the Tiger MP's standard ATX.
