depends on the strength of it.

An electric Joule is defined as one watt second. Therefore, a 900 Joule protector (typical) will hold 900 watts for 1 second before being breached.

I've got a 900 Joule protector plus the power supply in my computer will trip off if input exceeds 125-130VAC (it's got a bunch of protection circuits built in).

Ideal would to have a UPS instead of a surge protector, but dont have the money.

Also, note that not all power strips have surge protection capability- very few actually do.
 
thanks for the info.
can anyone help me replace some of my games?looking for a free game site that has tetris.
also a free music site too.
 
if you have even infrequent power surges/failures a ups will pay for itself. i've had an optiups 1000c for years and it;s well worth the money. expensive though, i'd check out ebay.
 
can anyone help me find the roofdrop game?i got it from kat i think she might have posted it on here.
 
thanks so much.

now hopefully my sister will have the pics from my grandma's funeral for me.
(I'm Italian.our funerals are like family reunions.)

Just so you know a 4 dollar surege protectoe won't do jack. The one on my computer is 60 bucks and I was glad I had it last summer. I too have had stuff fry with the cheops.
