Think of firewire (A.K.A IEEE) and eSATA (external SATA, SATA being the connection internal drives use) as faster USB. Apple uses firewire extensively and both are often used as faster connections for external hard drives (since USB 2.0 is slow as shit!).
CrossfireX (for ATI) and SLI (for nVidia) are the means with which you connect two or more video cards in a PC (Ever seen something like This before?).

I won't need firewire.

That is sad, I think all of humanity needs a newegg.
--- Quote ---I can't seem to find the exact model at ebuyer. All they seem to have is the P55A-UD3R. This is frustrating. Is their any other website or vender for Europe? Maybe I'm spoiled now but i don't like how ebuyer has their site set up. HARRUMPH! *Goes back to browsing Newegg*

The one we are looking for is the GA-P55-UD3L correct?
--- Quote ---2. Enthusiasts often put 2 or even more video cards in to get the most out of their epeen computer's performance. (refer to Crossfire/SLI) The most cost effective way to get the most out of a computer you build yourself though is to just buy one, which is what most normal people do. You really don't need to worry too much about this.
3. form factor refers to the shape etc of the mother board. You should make sure that the case you buy supports the form factor of the motherboard you'r getting (A.K.A, make sure they drilled the holes in the right place!) The two most common forms are ATX and Micro ATX which is your standard size motherboards. There is also ridiculously tiny ones like ITX and Mini-ITX which you don't really need to worry about (Just so you know, their really small).

Right, form factor = shape of the motherboard. So the GD-P55-UD3L is a normal ATX factor and
the case i must buy must support ATX
--- Quote ---Always double check that your parts are compatible. There are a lot of things that need to match and it's the worst feeling in the world when you realize that the parts don't match. just ask GoGoTa. :D

No, you're looking for the GA-P55A-UD3 (no extra letters after the UD3) if you can find it.

Oh, sorry it's GoGeTa006. Don't heed my offhand comment all that much. I'm just still razin him for forcing a CPU in the wrong socket. :D (Protip: AM2+ socket is different from AM3)
