    I?m fed up with it.. I?ve really, really had it

    << Mistake #4: Windows 2K Server on a Duron >> BS. A Duron is just fine as a staging server. I just want to use it to get some handson experience with MS Sharepoint (which requires 2K server). With one full client to support, it'll be fast enough. Hell, A Celeron 400 with adequate RAM would do...

    Mistake #1: MSI Maybe.. though I heard a lot of good of MSI b4 I bought this board. Everyone raved its stability.. well, depends how you define stability apparantly Mistake #2: RAID-0 I disagree. Its a cheap very effective performance upgrade.. if data security is not too important (which isnt...

    I don?t know who to blame anymore, but I?ll blame VIA for now. I?m an AMD fan, mainly because of their price/performance ratio and the competition they bring to intel. But Im loosing faith in the SocketA platform. I?ve upgraded from a completely problem free (but boring) Dell P3-500 to a...

    T-bird voltage issues

    not sure an enermax will do you much good. I have one, I get 12.7 on the +12v and 3.4 on the 3.3. PC Alert III also gives me a weird 0.35v ??

    T-bird voltage issues

    << Vcore : 1.74v (looks ok, right down the middle) >> The fact that its &quot;down the middle&quot;, doesnt mean much. If you'd configure your bios to give your cpu 2v, it would still be in the middle if your motherboard delivered this 2v. It just shows spikes and drops in the MB voltage...

    Help need with install..

    It doesnt matter, as long as you have one master per channel, and you do not use the RAID (if you have onboard RAID) for the CD rom drive You could either do: Harddisk master on primary IDE channel, CD rom slave on primary IDE channel OR harddisk master on primary IDE channel, CD rom master on...

    Help need with install..

    I dont want to insult your intelligence, but when you say secondary master, did you jumper the CDrom drive as &quot;master&quot; and connected it to the second IDE channel ? And not an IDE RAID channel ? Are you using the orginal CD's or copies ?
