Hey Trotter,
All seems good. I have it up n running now. The Brisbane CPU worked payed $15 for CPU n HS fan. I ordered 2 more gigs of same OCZ RAM. They came n when I installed them they didnt work. So theyre goin back to NE. That MB test was simple. Fear of the unknown.
I had no problem installing on old Win XP OS. Until Win activation. Then it just wouldn't activate. Called Micrsft they couldnt help ended up reinstalln because of that PITA.
Anyway Thanks for all your help.
