Power-protection stuff moved to UPS HOWTO. DIMM memory is

Buying at the low end isn't a lose anymore. I recommend
Athlons. Nuked the section on video standards, EDID takes
care of all that now. Also removed the section on older
memory types. And keyboards, as the "ergonomic" ones all
vanished along with the 1990s carpal-tunnel scare.
