Should I buy breadboard with power supply?

[jm]

Should I buy a breadboard with a 5 volt regulated power supply or get
a regular breadboard without one?

Thank you.

As a general rule, the breadboard + power supply kits don't save you
that much and are a lot less flexible than separates. In addition, you
may want something other than +5 if you ever use op amps or lower
voltage stuff. Something like this
http://www.circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/3506 would do you for
a while. It's not Lambda Power but still...


It would help, though, if you could mention some specifics about what
equipment you have in mind.

"stuff" (cause I don't know) with Microcontrollers and Microprocessors.

I'd get one without (it's more flexible) and use some of the money saved
to buy a few 7805's. Personally, I mostly use a 9v battery with a 7805
and capacitor soldered directly to the battery clip - effectively a
regulated 5v battery

Thank you.

So I don't have to have one plugged into the wall?
