Nevermind, I was hoping for a more immediate answer but nothing at all?!?!....thats no good. I was able to resolve the issue myself while dealing with a troll on the Arstechnica forums.

I had my surround sound box finally go out on me, I knew it was coming...In the mean time and until I can afford a new system I am using my Phillips MC235 Micro Systems CD player to provide sound because it is cleaner then the raspy speakers built into my tv.
My question is if I have my...
Very nice guide, really helped me a lot with my new Hackintosh build. I had been looking for a better way to switching apps when windows were hidden behind each other vs alt+tab expose works GREAT! Just the sort of info a newb needs!
I went ahead and purchased the two parts I listed in my original post, thanks for the suggestion (singular :P) but I do not expect to do a ton any overclocking to it, at least not for a while.
thanks
Thanks for the recommendation on the case, I had already been looking at those :)

haha, well good to know, at least now I have a basis to go on. just gotta sell a couple more of my old parts and im ready start buying my new setup. I am going with this cpu for sure. I wasnt expecting that much bang for the buck, I had only recently bought the amd x2 4200 for around $60-70 and...

Just a quick question...I have only ever built AMD systems but my motherboard recently died and im using it as an excuse to upgrade my mobo/cpu/ram. I am running a AMD X2 4200 (which was nice while my pc worked) so im curious how this Intel cpu I am looking at stacks up.
Thanks.
