Also, plan on reactivating Windows again. Yes, MS are nazis. If you're upgrading MB, it might not be a bad idea to think about upgrading your PSU, just something to think about, but not necessary. __________________ <a href=\"http://www.democracynow.org\"><img src=\"http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/smileygladhands/linkbanner468x60.gif\" border=\"0\"></a> \"All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.\" -Noam Chomsky
