1.didnt understand ur q.

2.C2D is a dual core proccy.if u wanna know the diff between C2D and Pentium D then they r :
i>C2D = core architecture, Pentium D = Netburst Architecture
ii>C2D ->unified L2 for both cores, Penium D ->separate L2 for the 2 cores

3> No.

4>it'll show that a network cable is unplugged.

5>nVidia -> 650,680
Intel -> 945,946,965,975 (only few chipset mobos with 945/946 chipsets support quad core),P35,P33,X38

6>most Intel Bearlake chipsets do.

7>yes

8>1GB DDR2 800MHZ ->2200-2500

1. Nothin... The mobos're usually seated in such mountin screws which're screwed to d cabby... A 9mm gap is left bw d mobo and cabby...

8. DDR3 is jus launched fer the bearlakes... Highly expensive since its not the mainstrm..

one more question:
will it harm mobo if I connect cabinet's power switch's red and white wire
wrongly (ie red wire in mobos - pin and white wire in mobos + pin) into the mobo's ps_on head

thanks guys for your replies

what will happen if somehow the mobo touches the cabi's metal without those mounting screws

Also what is the ATX 4-pin VGA power connector (found mostly in sli mobos) *global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1087&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171 . How can I find a connector for it as my psun have no such connectors.

also what is the cost of molex to pci xpress power connector

Smoke!!!

Guys What should I consider while connecting cabinet's power switch head into the mobos ps_on pins or tell me the procedure of cnnecting the cabinet's power switch head
into the mobos ps_on head.

 

[sashijoseph]

You can connect it both ways,no prob.
