Hello everyone, I've recently purchased an ASUS A8N-E MB (nForce4 Ultra). It has 2 IDE connectors and 4 SATA connectors. I have a spare 120GB PATA HDD that I planned to use. However, I did not expect to have only 2 IDE connectors: I also wanted a DVD-ROM drive and a DVD burner. But I can't fit 3...

Video editing seems to be the Pentium 4's last remaining advantage over Athlon 64; everything else is faster on the Athlon.

I bought parts for a budget second PC, and I went with a Intel 848 chipset board with Single Channel capability, and I got one 512mb memory module. The next board up, with Intel 865 and Dual Channel was $30 more. So, I could have had 512mb Dual Ch. (Like all the parts, I could have gotten more,...

I thought it was a no-no, that it should be handled for the top and sides. I guess the bottom edge is ok,...

Anyone have any idea when there will be an AMD 64-bit version of this system? It is basically the size of a Mac Mini, and made for the 32-bit Pentium M. It would be great to get a 64-bit system down to this form factor. Paul
