Re: Help with Shuttle PCs

I've got one of the new SS51Gs with 1 GB RAM, a P4 2.4 CPU, DVD +/- R/RW and a nVidia GeForce FX 9600 runing in here (my ATI 9800 AIW wouldn't function, dammit). In exploring the problems with the 9800, I went to my local computer shop to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. While there, the owner of the store mentioned I might have too powerful a CPU in the box and could be risking a burnout.
Shuttle's site and manuals, as well as the limited number of Shuttle owners I've spoken to, seem to contradict this, but it's enough to get me worried. Does anyone know enough about these machines to let me know if I'm going to have a burned out CPU in a few months?
Thanks!

The local computer shop is bullshitting you. And I think you have a GeForce FX 5600, not a 9600.  Your PC should be fine.
