Jim,

As far as the mobo using the 12v axilliary lines, this is not common is it?

I don't know. I have an Asus a7m266-d (dual) and it does have connectors for additional power from 12V source. I don't know if it is common in single processor motherboards.

Compaq could either have one of those motherboards that have can utilize the auxiliary power connector, or maybe they have some custom power supplies that deliver more juice on 3.5 and 5V lines.

Jim,

On nForce logo, I forgot to look closer on the Compaq PCs that I saw. Maybe next time I am in a computer retail store.

Re: does Compaq use the nForce logo? Not that the general public would understand it.

They do (at least some) have nForce logos. As far as the public understanding - STP stickers would improve sales.

Just as mhz sells - and model numbers sell almost as well - so do stickers sell.

Actual performance is irrelevant to the legions of corporate buyers who went for SDRAM P4 boxes.
