    you can also use it to remote control your pc from a bluetooth phone...connect bluetooth headsets...bluetooth is a handy little thing for peripheral connectivity.

    Has anyone got any idea where to find a REALLY detailed review of the MSI Nforce K7N2 Delta-ILSR Motherboard mentioned above?

    I've just found lots of small reviews saying it great, but I want to know EXACTLY what's on it etc.

    if you're going to push to get the ILSR you'd probably be better off opting for this forum's board of choice..the nf7-s...exactly the same features, but generally better performance and overclocking options and headroom.

    OK - I'll look at that board too, but I'm sure that review says the ILSR comes with a CPU - does that mean I don't have to spend money on the £50 processor I was going to get?

    Where does it say it comes with a CPU? Sounds a bit unusual to me, unless you buy a kit.

    I thought it was a bit odd too, but anyway, go to the review page I gave, and next to cache memory it says:

    CPU Built-in 512KB (Athlon XP -Barton core) or 256KB (Athlon/Athlon XP) or 64KB (Duron) L2 cache

    Is this not what I thought it meant?

    I think that's refering to the L2 Cache that's on the CPU.

    Try http://www.cpucity.co.uk, I got both my CPU and motherboard from there, and so have a couple of my friends, with no problems.

    I'd go for a dvd writer as a single drive, that way it'll do everything, and bluetooth is best thought of as a kind of wireless USB.
