[comp.sys.ibm.pc] What is a voltage converter?

arif@stat.fsu.edu (Arif Zaman) (05/03/90)

Can you run a PC using a voltage converter
(not a transformer) converting from 220v
to 110v?

Also, what are the problems if I buy a VGA
monitor here and try to use it on 220v.
Will a converter work? Will even a tranformer
work? because the cycles with 220v are usually
50hz, whereas with 110v they are 60hz?

I don't read this board often, so mail would
be preferred. If there is much response, I
will summarize.
