Oooo! circuit diagrams! lol:D im pretty good with circuitry, dont know any "beginner" books though i would probably suggest looking for information online before purchasing anything

yea basically the extra pins are so the psu can supply more power without having the cables and connectors burn and cack themselves the extra 4 pins on the 24pin mobo connector are extra lines of 12v, 5v, 3.3v and ground (or "common" (not - or -v there is a difference)) the extra 4 pins on the...

I found this one at my store for $80 (Australian) good price and performance http://www.asus.com.au/product.aspx?P_ID=exJL00uovTJaDqxR&templete=2 small, powerful, made by ASUS so its good. except it only supports cpus up to 95w next one up...

apart from the fact that they are laptop mobos; the concept is the same as a desktop pc if every thing was to fit, you would have no probs if you were to try to swap the mobos; the mobo would be the wrong shape, size, port locations, ram location, cpu location, screen connector wont fit...

You should actually be able to just connect the 20 pin connector directly onto the 24 pin mobo connector, as for a 4pin or 8pin cpu connector; you can just use an atx 4 pin cpu connector all good mobos should have the voltage lines bridged for stability so you shouldn't have any problems...

could you post a picture or post the brand and model of your motherboard your talking about so i can have a look:D if they (the brown "PCI" slots)are shorter than any of your other AGP or PCI slots on the mobo then they are probbably AMR slots (Audio Modem Riser) EDIT just made mesurements on...

If it is a fast, constant scratch sound (like tttttttttt, or dddddddddddd,) than it is probably a fan somewhere, if it is a pulsating scratch (like t_t___t_t___t_t___) and/or a clicking sound (d_d_d_d in tune with the scratches) than that would probably be a defective HDD i agree with Linkin...

Ok wat you have is you are trying to use a 24 pin atx power connector on a 20 pin atx mobo socket :D dont worry :o , you should jus be able to connect it up without removing the extra pins, just as long as there is room at the ends of the socket of your mobo like so: image from...

yea i would also go for this one: http://www.gigabyte.com.au/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3258 looks like one of the best mobos available, brilliant features, but im not sure if there are any compatibility issues though with this one, i havent really done any research on...

all the 5000 series support ati stream so they can support up to 6 monitors in games (through 2 cards at least), so it is most likely that the next series will probably support 8-10 monitors and up ATI's workstation graphics cards can support 4-6 monitors through 1 card and something like 9 and...

WOW what a lot of programs... thanks everyone, now i now where to look for any programs i need

have you tried opening up 7zip and looking through its settings (for file associations)?

You could also try defragmenting your hard drives and run a checkdisk utility because firefox will use your paging file areas for temporary storage and to backup where your at and what your doing a fair amount of the time tell us if there are any improvements in performance or not

there are programs on the net that can copy disks to a virtual dvd drive on your hard drive, but thats all im going to say at the moment...

I use Samsung Emodio, pretty good quality,

Ive never found a difference in speeds, firefox always seems to load my pages almost instantly even at 25kbps, anyway, having separate processes for each tab can be slightly unstable and can use up more memory than having one process

the ati radion 9250 (agp x2/x4) will work on virtually any motherboard with agp and is pretty good at playing most old games, plus you get tv and dvi outputs. HIS still makes them (last time i checked), about $50 or less (australian dollars) i used to use one (and my sister still uses one)...
