man o man, i can fianlly replace my burned xp 1800 from twco for 119 + 7 for s&h, 126 total. when i got the first one three months agon it cost me $200 shipped

I might 'upgrade' to a xp 2000 here soon if prices keep droping like they are. no need for a t-bred when i plan to get a hammer. there probably isn't a need to get a t-bird and just stick it out, but i already have everything for and xp/tbred system, who knows.

Sure it would be best to get it from newegg.com, but the is the first time a processor that runs at or performs like a 2ghz processor under 200 bucks.

Intel still has over 75 bucks to drop before it can happen.

Dont forget the 1.6a and 1.8a theyll do 2ghz without breaking a sweat. Theyve been under 200 for awhile now.

Alpha pal8045 + abit kr7a-raid + wrong sized washers between mobo and stand-offs = tiny gap between HSF and CPU = burned cpu's. I didn't realize that until i burned the second one though

have to learn somehow though, right? oh well.

i don't have any washers between the mobo and stand-offs with this system i built. didn't realize it was a neccessity. how come neither my case or board came with them? you have me really worried now. system seems to be working fine, but still.

I think the washers lessthanjake_666 is taking about are the ones that came with the Alpha 8045 installation kit, unless you have the Alpha 8045 you won't need them.

so you're telling when mounting a mainboard, washers aren't a necessity? this has got me really stressed all of a sudden.

I'm am talking about the stand-off's and washers that come with the Alpha 8045. It mounts right on the motherboard and depending on the size of the pre-drilled holes in the mobo (they are already put there by the manufactorer, no worries needed), you choose between two washers so you don't ground the mobo.
