great!. Some ppl. on another forum told me to just go ahead and try it and see what happens... I'm not that stupid so I had to be sure first. Thanks a alot m3ta1head
I'm having a discussion on another forum right now... I can't seem to get an answer as to what these center "things" are and why some motherboards have all 18 and others less.
No problem. Yeah, I'm no electronics expert, so I couldn't tell you what those things are called. I know what capacitors, transistors, and voltage regulators are....and that's about it
What processor are you dropping in that puppy?

since the only programs I plan to use on this audio-only PC are foobar2000, EAC, and a pdf viewer ... I saved some cash and went with the e4400. (I've got 1.5 tb storage for my cd/ lp collection ) So a budget machine.. so far the installation has been a nightmare... I didn't get the right number of MB mounting screws with my case so I had to drive for an hour to a pc hardware store and bought some more... when I got home they didn't fit the standoffs... had to go back and buy new standofsfs. This is my second day of building and I just got to the motherboard.. now this, lol.

Ya, that should be plenty fast.
Sucks to hear about the troubles with the build so far...I've had my fair share of builds go sour as well
Just cross your fingers on the first boot and make sure nothing is DOA, because that is a PITA to troubleshoot!

Go here : http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/dp965lt/
Download the motherboard photo to My Photos and use "+" and rotate.
You'll see the same row of center blocks that turn up on the zol.com photo and in your own photo (partially blocked since the socket clamp is closed ).
I'd say your question is answered, let the build begin.
I don't remember ever paying any any attention to this before but should it come up again we can now answer.
Look like resistors to me. Decent sized ones, actually. I wouldn't worry about a couple missing ones, probably just a different version of the same board.
