lol, well i'm trying to decide weather to do daul core athlon with 65watt power loose vs. the estamated 90 watt loose i'm fasing with this single core Athlon x2. They both would be standard ATX motherboards and CPU's but no additionall cards installed to save on power. the hdd and the cdrom(both from a laptop of mine with fried mobo) will be powered by a 3amp 5volt regulator. the computer is a compaq presanio 6000 if u want all the specs, just a computer i got for free from someone after they upgraded. I have an Hp motherboard with a socket Am2 laying around from an awsome ebay steal, it just needs a cpu and ram.
