OT: P4 Help

by **Jeff Hun** » Tue, 05 Jun 2001 12:45:49

However Intel P4 motherboards require a special case with 4 extra mounting
bolts to which the heatsink/fan combo is bolted through the motherboard to
the backplate the motherboard is mounted on.

I have built 4 Intel P4 systems.

To paraphrase the great Arnold, "I'll be back... real soon now".

I'm doing something new for Ziff-Davis again. About five days and
counting...

As ever,
