Agreed, single rail is better than 4 rails
In most cases yes, but not always... in this case it is.

When is 4 rails better than one? Load balancing sucks, why spend the time on it? Its not a reliability thing, if one rail goes the whole psu goes. I can't think of any advantages except for price that multi rail psu's have.
when using a lot of perhepreals (sorry i can't spell it and im at school with no spell check) it helps....i agree it is not worth it, but it does.

How? You get the same total power, but the effective power on a single rail is higher. less loss on the rails, and you don't have to organize.
those uses the 5v or 3v rails
power supplies that have more than one +12V power rail, it is preferable for stability reasons to spread the power load over the 12V rails evenly to help avoid overloading one of the rails on the power supply.
