okay, so I'm putting together my new computer tonight (sent the wife and kids to the neighbor's). Since when in the hell did they decide to make 12v power connectors (usually 4 ports) into 8-port connectors? Because the motherboard still only accepts a 4-port connector. But the only cable I have is 8-port. Oh wait... what's that? Oh! Looky here! You RIP THE CONNECTOR IN HALF! Of course! How frickin' obvious! The cable supports either normal 4-port or new fangled 8's. DUR

Stupid computer.


Either way, I finally got it turned on and installing Windows Vista 64-bit now. I may just go ahead and jump up to 8gb. It's only another $98, right?

Also, based on what I've read, I can overclock the shit out of this chip. It's a an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W and word is that I can easily get it up to 3.6GHZ without worrying about any heat issue. 4.3 with additional fans. SWEET!
