winchester is not really better, maybe 3% more performance, but the important point about winchester is less power consumption and less heat production. and the winchester seem to be better for overclocking. 80$ is still alot of cash...maybe wait some weeks and watch for lower prices.
i guess he gonna have to install xp again, but of course he can try first without. but better he saves his datas before. usually a new mobo with a new chipset will always require new windows installation for best performance. and think of the sound and lan drivers...
the missing 4 pins are redundant, if the board and the psu are build in ATX standards it has to be compatible anyways, and since ur not having instabilities it shows there is really no reason to get an adapter.
lol, slippy. But hey, they are diamond club members...so now we know what its good for beeing a member of this elitary club...find an error and get support. superb!
its an imperfect world...where companies like MSI produces boards that wont run propperly with standard PSU`s and buyers dont like to read boring manuals unless they facing troubles caused by the producers.
For those iterested in the Diamond series, better wait for the upcoming revision or buy an "older" PSU that isnt build strictly after 1.2ATX standards.

As MSI said...
yep, he got no idea what hes talking about and the first posting neither....nforce2 wont have improved performance with dc, todays systems indeed profit from dc like socket 939. At least when running sandra :rolleyes: but in some games and appz too. but regarding nforce2 that was a big hoax...
FFS, not blow on the hs, let it suck from the hsf and blow into the case so the other fans can move the warme air outside case, and unless JulesMaximus can show us a review i dont believe him, that temperatures decrease when u let blow fan on the hsf. Has to blow away from hsf.
the ONLY advantage of nforce4 is the pcie feature.
more or less the only advantage of socket 939 is dualchannel and winchester compatibility-
wouldnt suggest the Raptor for the normal user. I know its the fastest hdd but its also twice expensive then a normal drive and having half size, means...
