    dual core troubles

    I realized that I had downloaded the amd drivers but when I tried to install them it got mad at me for not having sp2 yet. When this happened I installed the drivers on the disc that came with the mobo. These drivers suck I guess. I installed sp2 and installed the downloaded drivers that you...

    pci-e mobo require new psu?

    It will work without the adapter, but you should purchase one anyways. The 4 pins on the right side can be left open. Don't do this as a permenant solution, but you can use it temporarily until you can get the adapter.
