    20 to 24 pin adapter?

    So I've got an old Socket 754 system I'm looking to upgrade in my den and I just built a couple of 690G systems and really liked them. Very simple to use and build. My Antec TruePower 550w is the original one without the Faquhahok capacitors that explode and I'd rather not replace it because...

    I/O Shield Tabs, what the hell do I do with these?

    Sometimes they get in the way. Here's what can happen with those things: 1. They can prevent the motherboard from sitting right when you're trying to screw it in 2. They can accidently pop out and prevent you from inserting whatever (like a PS/2 mouse or Ethernet cord) 3. They can cause a...

    Just to let everyone know. These now have a different heatspreader and a black 6-layer PCB versus the old HZ with a more traditional style heatspreader and a green 4-layer PCB. I mixed the two types in my P5B Deluxe and with memory remap on the BIOS recgonises all 4096MB but Windows Vista...

    Might ask G.Skill over at xtremesystems dot org forums. They have a special G.Skill forum there. They could tell you why HK has tighter timings than HZ.

    Side by side? Probably non-oc'd Differences? "HZ" has micron d9gmh chips. see people running at greater than 1000MHz? yes that's the power of D9 and vicariously the HZ

    Another RAM deal Corsair this time TWIN2X2048-6400 2GB Kit DDR2-800 XMS2-6400 Xtreme Performance

    These use Promos chips. If you're pushing an E4300 or just want better RAM, I'd get the G.Skill "HZ" series, or anything with D9 Otherwise, if this is for a non-overclocking workhorse, jump jump. Or get that Crucial for $35 a stick, it's probably D9 like the HZ

    Yeah, that CPU has the multiplier you need to use 1:1 to hit exactly 3.2GHz. Running 1:1 at 3.2GHz the RAM will run at exactly DDR2-800
