This week on Lab Rats, Andy and Sean chat up motherboards with us, and help demystify perhaps one of the most important parts of the computer but hardest to replace or tweak. In addition, the crew shows us where all the components we know about fit in as well; where the RAM goes, where the processor sits, and what all those slots on them are for. Enjoy!

This week’s Weezy and the Swish has a very special guest: Martin Sargent! Looks like Martin is making the rounds again, between Infected and Weezy and the Swish he’s out there entertaining us with rampant hilarity. Listener questions reign the day, and as is the order when you have two ex-TechTV stars in any one place, the comparison between TechTV and G4 comes up, and the nuances of the work that Laura and Martin used to do on Unscrewed (interviewing porn stars and trying to keep them from taking their tops off) make for an excellent podcast. Enjoy!

A new Infected with Martin Sargent is up and ready for mass consumption. Glorious!
