Thank you GeezerMan. That is information I was looking for. I?ll pull it apart, take the motherboard out, and install that I/O panel, mainly for integrity of dust, proper grounding of the I/O network, and proper airflow within the case. I?ll try to do that today, or tomorrow, I need to rest...

How stupid can one be? After installing my ASUS A8N-SLI Premium in my new Rosewill Black Screw-less Dual 120mm Fan ATX Mid Tower Case and applying all the cabling to the board, I realize I haven?t yet installed the silver back plate on the back panel. In order to correct that, I need to...

Cleverhandle Using OEM in serch yesterday got me nothing but everything I didn?t need, I spent hours looking, however, just now I found what I wanted to know : http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=34&threadid=1916429&enterthread=y I hope I can trust this advice. I found this...

Thank you.

Oh Man! Why do people report that in their reviews? I?m so confused. How is anyone supposed to figure Microsoft out and know what to buy? If I buy the Retail, How restricted is that? Also, if I call Microsoft, will they tell me the truth, or give me a whole lot of run-around - BS...

Windows XP Home ? Retail, or OEM Installing and Re-installing Options I?ve searched here on most topics and I?ve done my research on Microsoft web pages and I can?t find the information I need. 1. Is it true you are not allowed to re-install XP Home (OEM) version on the original computer...

And, in six months time whoever manufactures the next generation dual -core possessor will market it and sell it to you for a thousand, or so bucks to do the free research for them and report the catastrophic failures and spend the time and money in doing so, just so you can play the new game...

Betasub, Thank you for your reply; I know what yah mean. As a writer, I should be more careful, but you know writers are careless and can?t spell worth a darn without their editors and the editors sometimes are no better than I. But, there are times I speel bakcawords and can?t Phiniwh a...

Bamacre; Pay attention. As I?ve said before, I haven?t bought the X2 4800+ yet. The AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 2000MHz 939 Single Core Processor is a highly respected ? well-developed processor and has the best bang for the buck for gaming. A dual-core CPU is not all that...

Magomago Oops, I didn?t know that. I already bought the 7600GS. You see; this is why I posted this here, but what the heck, too late now. ---------------------------------------------- ItsAlive My budget has almost been spent. ----------------------------------------------...

fire400 I don't see anything wrong with the truepower 2.0 either, but I?ll be keeping my fingers crossed. ---------------------------------------------- OvErHeAtInG As to duel core, or single core processors, I?m a little stuck right now with the 3700+ San Diego 2000MHz 939...

Thanks dBTelos. I?ll look into those.

dBTelos; Your information is valuable as to the PSU, however I?m not sure what I will be running in the future. Right now, I have a USB 2.0 Maxtor one touch III backup drive and I may have other USB 2.0 toys to hook up later. I may just put my old PSU away with my old hard drive...

Bamacre; Hah! I forgot about the shipping cost. I?m sorry; I?m not a big fan of Intel, especially their newer processors. The X2 4800 + is a highly respected ? well-developed AMD processor that?s been around for a long time. Therefore, it has probably gone through fixes of most...

Bamacre; I haven?t bought the X2 4800+ yet, but I plan to within the month and I?ll put it in another case with a duplication of the motherboard, video card, and a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive. I just want it because it is the top of the line, duel processor...
