Problems updating profile.

I already pay for my Yahoo email address that I have had for years and I will be damed before I activate an email address just because one forum doesn't like Yahoo. While I would like to update my email to a current one, I have no problems leaving it on an invalid one.

Problems updating profile.

My ISP probably gave me some email addresses, but I never use them, nor are they even setup. I am paying for the enhanced Yahoo email which I have had for years. Plus it's my first initial followed by my last name, so not like I am hiding anything...kstarnicky@yahoo.com

Problems updating profile.

My old email address, which is no longer valid, was not one of those, but my new one is a Yahoo email address. All my email accounts are Yahoo, with the exception of my work email, but not going to use that one, so I HAVE to use a Yahoo account or leave that field blank.

Will any of my spare PSU's work with this new system?

I am currently running the same system on the 330W PSU, but that's using built in graphics. The mobo does work with the 20-pin of the old PSU, but my worry is that those extra 4 pins might be needed when I add the 7600GT PCX videocard. Not sure.

Help, system running too hot!

If I were to switch to new HSF, what are some of the better choices that would cost $50 or under for both the HS and fan, or one that I can reuse my existing 120mm fan? Is a copper core or even a all copper unit prefered? Are they worth the extra money?
