| 169614 | 2003-08-22 08:33:00 | Well, the first thing the pros will want to know is what the make and model of your motherboard is. :-) | Susan B (19) | ||
| 169615 | 2003-08-22 08:37:00 | Adding to what Susan said, if you don't know the make/model of your motherboard, you can download and use AIDA32 - Personal System Information (www.aida32.hu) to find out this information. | Jen C (20) | ||

| 169618 | 2003-08-26 06:17:00 | All i wont to no is if it can blow my motherboard, or will it just get rejected and not start. | had_to_change_it (2975) | ||
| 169619 | 2003-08-26 06:24:00 | not likly to blow up the motherboard but the cpu may not like having an incorrect voltage fed to it. however if you could post what motherboard you have you can tell for sure if it will work or not. |
