What kind of heatsink comes with the i7? Thanks for the help. I'll have some build questions later but have to get...

    New rig advise

    MB/Hardware replacement question

    Hi Guys... What, if any, problems might I encounter if I replace my MB/CPU/Memory/PS on my rig but keep my IDE C: and D: drives or C: and optical drive (as I think the new MB only supports 2 devices on IDE). Will I still be able to boot to WinXP sp2 which is the OS on the C: drive? :confused...
