Its funny that most of you show you spec's for your machine and leave out what power supply you have. most motherboards have the extra 8 pin for quads but most of all pc builders dont use the 8-pin. They say you dont need it. If you dont then why is it there? point is that if its on the mainboard, then you have to use it for Quad CPU only. If you not using it and you support this 8-pin on your main board. then thats the problem why your lagging. that 8-pin <p
