I lived up at the Grand Canyon for a 3 years, we only had PO Boxes, mine was PO Box 492, my zip was 86023-0492. Cause My bank uses a 9 digit zip code as part of My street address where I live and Mwave would not allow Me to enter more than 5 digits(Mwave said It was an IT problem with their website, Which I doubt they'll fix anytime soon), So the whole address would not match and so they could not do a VISA transaction, As those missing 4 digits means the address I could enter on Mwaves website does not match what the Bank has and as I said I will not shorten My zip code for Mwave's satisfaction. As I have said over and over again, Go see My last post or go fly a kite... Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

BTW most if not all delivered goods offer you a "comment" section or attn line. you could use that line to add your full zip code. Mwave does not do that online, I wish they would. Mwave wants an address, city, state and a 5 digit zip code. My bank has My address, city, state and a 9 digit zip code. And so the two do not match and since mail out here needs that extra 4 digits I can't remove It, Ok??? Don't ask Me about this ANYMORE OK????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I found that same 2nd pic when I looked earlier. Never knew those kind of adapters existed. I'm not thinking about getting something like that to do some playing around. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

I dunno, every notebook I've had for the past 12 years .... the first thing that goes on them are those built-in WiFi modules. At least now-a-days, they're cheap :-) |

You got to admit though It's a neat solution that I came up with, Besides the usb wireless is old and I'd rather leave It attached where It is at now anyway, Unless I have no other choice that is. :D Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

If you insist on getting online stuff try getting a PO box That's the problem Skildude, all he has is a PO Box. His town is so small they don't have a mail delivery service to their door. They have to pick the mail up in the local saloon or general store like in the old westerns on tv. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

I already have one, I just don't use It as part of My address anymore as It's not something others need to know, as the 4 digit zip code extension serves that purpose anyway.

Well I ordered the motherboard on Monday from Newegg and what do Ya know, UPS showed up and delivered It to Me at My door today, As soon as I get the I/O shield and the Mini pci-e card, I'll post pics of them, But for the moment Here's the 1st pic. Oh and why does the box say Asus P6T SE? Simple Newegg reused an old box, It looks like they recycle some, Neat. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Must be nice to live in California, my box just arrived in Phoenix and will be here tomorrow. Hows the snow in Yer area Arkie? Our mountains still have lots of the white stuff, Even though Its slowly melting and the area as a whole is still damp as We got our proverbial clocks cleaned(Car too mostly). I guess UPS wasn't too busy, As I'm not exactly nearby really. I may get more in the coming days of course and outside of the bag, two sheets of foam and the inside out box, That's all I got there outside of what Newegg did provide, Which is a nice shipping box and paper packing material for the old motherboard(Asus P5K Deluxe, Asus P5K Deluxe box too), cpu(Intel Q9300), ram(Patriot Viper, 4GB w/fins), cpu fan(120mm), heatsink and thermalright cpu heatsink mounting plate and screws.

Ok I thought I'd post this while I can before any down time here happens(I may be doing a cpu heatsink swap today on this LGA775 PC, Not the one pictured below though), I just took the old P5K Deluxe motherboard(I have 2 of these) and I/O Shield out installed the New Shield and the Asus P7P55D Pro Motherboard and the cables just plugged right in with no problems, Sweat. :) Now for the long haul to December for the 750 cpu and January for the G.Skill ram(G.Skull? ;) ), As a pair of rare dual board GTX295 cards comes next(well they may as well be rare, I can't find any new GTX295 cards of any type(May and November on My schedule), Anywhere and forget about the new cards, their DX11 and I've read one can't mix them with DX10 Cards. :( Savoir-Faire is everywhere!
