Ok..got a 500W power supply..Allied power this morning from a local
retail store.
Going to install it into the machine now and see how things go.
Also got a USB2.0 PCI card for my office PC, for use with the external

Try finding the clear CMOS jumper on the board and do that. Then try

No..no beeps.
There is a 4 LED cluster on a bracket in the back that gives you
indications of whats happening.
And that one is indicating that the board is getting as far as Early
Chipset Initialisation and then just sticking there.

Try unplugging all ATAPI and IDE drives if you haven't already. When
the ribbon connector is not seated correctly you will get similar
results (or lack thereof) to what you are getting.

how fast you can overclock that processor.
With MSI's boards, you can do this pretty easily through the BIOS. Also,
they have some decent tools for detecting processor speed on their Web
You may have to upgrade your power supply also.
I know going from something like P3 1.2 GHz to P4 3.0Ghz, you need a new

DDR is not the same as dual channel. It's really a question of the mobo, not
the ram. I don't know for sure about this mobo, but IIRC the server K8T800
support dual channel while the desktop mobos are single-channel. Double
check with MSI though for your board.
I'm personally not a fan of OCZ. In
An extra 5v connector. Some P4 mobos need it, others don't. Having it is
supposed to provide a little extra stability.
