    Where do you purchase your software?

    Where do people find the best deals on software? I am interested in purchasing XP Pro this week. What's all the hub-bub about the problems with Service Packs? I've read that SP2 is problematic. Is the free test version of the XP 64 worth messing around with?

    Questions about the XClio PSU

    My first system build!

    Here's one take on the new standard: Tom's Hardware I think the 2.0 standard mostly has to due with power quality issues and anticipated connectors for very high end systems. I believe the 2.0 standard also provides for two 12V rails with the assumption that newer MOBO CPU combos will...

    My first system build!

    I am setting up a very similar system to yours as far as the MOBO and CPU goes. I came across this on ZipZoomFly.com for the MOBO you are getting. If you look part way down the page there is a red sentence that says - * This item requires an ATX 2.0 compliant power supply I checked out the...
