@amd125:
I'm glad it's already started. I remember once booting up my computer without the micro :ugly: and that happened to me, but I just didn't have it plugged in. You have to put the thermal paste carefully, maybe the heatsink already comes with it from the factory, and especially when you don't change it for a long time, be careful when removing the heatsink. More than one has fried a micro by leaving the paste so dry that it stayed stuck to the micro and when removing the heatsink, the micro started up and bent some pins. If you see that the computer doesn't even beep... well, you already know for next time ;D
The computer you built for your colleague, don't expect him to play current games on that computer, but for office work it will be very good. I have an HTPC with an Atom and it works very well. Nowadays almost any micro is very decent for office work in general. Then for using certain programs, a Quad Core, a good graphics card or more RAM would be appreciated.
thanks, I'll keep that in mind for next time, my colleague is very stupid, he wouldn't know how to start a game, that's facebook, tuenti and that to meet girls and little more jeje
