Write this down too: If you reformat to fix problems you will be one of the first to go when HE comes.

Don't format your hard drive.

It was a joke referencing a cult following a being who would eventually come in to power over Earth ... that's all, jeez.

Uh...I couldn't tell you, you're the one who has the manual for your board..look it up, it'll be there. [addsig]

Abit in all their greatness. TBH, their manual isnt worth a dime. The english part is really poorly written. They said something though about the power demands of P4's and Athlons [addsig]

step#1 load google

step#2 look up a PDF for your board.

step#3.. read carefully

Oh, wait, is that the square four pin connector? If so that's for a P4 ... also, is that on your board or coming from your power suppy? Most all power supplies have them to support P4's. I wouldn't think that hookup would be on your board, that would be ineffieciet.

All an Athlon needs comes from the power connection through the motherboard. And the CPU fan being plugged into the board as well. Unless the 2500 has some insane power requirement it wont have extra connectors. [addsig]

I looked up the board you have. The power connector from the power supply goes there (If your powersupply doesn't have that please list your voltage and watts, you might need a more powerful powersupply). [addsig]

right now its a 300Watt PSU with a very noisy fan, lol. [addsig]

Hmm, well, If your power supply doesn't have the connection, hook everything else up and give it a spin (go into bios). If it doesn't boot, well, It would be safe to assume you need a newer powersupply (I'm pretty sure a 2.5 ghz (as well as the entire system) would run fine with 300watts. Most 1.5 ghz systems run fine on 200 - 230 )

It just depends on how much power overall your system will use, but there could be a chance that if you don't use that power connector (meaning your power supply could not be powerful enough, I doubt it, but there's a chance) you could lose power at some point, and that could potentially fry some stuff....so, you can run it without it, check all the power measurments in bios, make sure everything is running fine. if it is, then you should be good to go. Just be aware of it when you upgrade your video card, those things can really suck electricity. [addsig]

well, right now everything is running fine, except for once again that noisy fan. My friend is getting a new PSU soon and will give me his. Its a 400watt with the 4 pin. But its generic so Im not sure of its worth. It came with a nice case for 50$ (can) [addsig]

I just downloaded the PDF manual for your board. You don't need to plug it in if you don't have it...it even says so.

Secondly, you shouldn't use overabundant power supplies...didn't you say your parents are going to make you pay for things you use? that new 400 watt power supply would cost you quite a bit of money every month. [addsig]

windows 2000 upgrade is fine. Delete the partitions on the target disk, and boot from the upgrade CD. It asks you for the windows 98 CD, (and maybe CD key), then doesn't use anything from that CD and does a normal 2K install. I think
