Yer tellin me. Couple of St. Paddy's day sips, and I couldn't figure out why my processor upgrade wouldn't work. Turns out my power source was only pushin 215w! What kinda jackass company puts only a 215w power source in a new fekkin computer?!! HP! That's who!!! >:(

Oh yeah... happy fekkin St. Paddy's Day to yuh! May you not be crossed by HP.

Ohj yeah.... fu Spazduh...

Did you compare the wattage of the cpu vs what the mb will handle?

Went to the HP site and ordered the recommended upgrade for this mb. I'm thinking I might have fumbled the install... though it booted up on the first try, every try after said the cpu wasn't supported.

heh

I am quite happy with the performance of the 260 for the moment - no doubt I will upgrade to a 460/560Ti when Rage is out as I don't wanna be playing that on a non DX11 card or on a console!
