er....
your new antec should be P-4 ready. Isn't there a 4 pin power lead. If
there is, did you connect it to the motherboard...in addition to the
main power connector?

so to followup - i sent the mb/cpu back, and the technician said he
tested it and it works fine.

he said my antex 330 must not have enough power. he is sending it
back, and strongly recommends a "P-4 ready" PSU.

here are some interesting articles:

http://www.directron.com/p4install.html#p4power

it says that to be P4-ready, a cpu/mobo needs:

26 Amps at 3.3V, 30 Amps at 5V and 15 Amps at 12V

hmmm...i'm looking for a good psu now..
