... who has actually done that, knows that it is of VERY significant consequence. Switch-mode regulators in MB, and switch-mode picoPSU which feeds MB, notwithstanding.You are probably missing the fact that CPU is fed from linear regulated PSU directly, without going through switch-mode PSU - and that by itself gives very significant improvement in SQ.
Main advantage of Windows, and computers running Windows, is the ability to modify hardware, and strip down (I prefer the word "optimize") software, to much larger extent.
