Retention Brackets are go

A few days ago I got my retention brackets "fitted," where fitted meant simply unscrewing the Xeon brackets and screwing down the early P4 brackets. The early P4 heatsinks fit the motherboard and CPU with these new brackets like a charm. On another note my two CPUs are incompatible. One of the auctions listed the item as the same model number as my first CPU when it was really quite different. As most of you probably know matching CPUs is extremely important and generally a requisite for SMP. I e-mailed the guy and hopefully I'll get this worked out soon. All of my other components seem to work like a charm. I may have to replace my PSU as it seems it won't have enough power on the +12V rail to support all of my components in the completed system. Oh well, I was gonna build a power supply for the final system anyway.
