Adul your right it is much more forgiving than NT 4. Thats because NT 4 isn't forgiving at ALL!! Seriously, I really do like W2K. I use W2k on two of my three home computers. Its just that for a hardware junkie, W2k can be VERY frustrating. Thank the Lord it installs quickly.:D I think the...

W2K is the most unforgiving OS I've ever seen. One mistake with a driver or application that it doesn't like and it can hose the whole system (and you'll be reinstalling the OS). I think for all its weakness 98 and ME aren't so bad. Take your HD format it with NTFS put in another computer and...

Well...If I had a system that would run at 150 MHz or better I might think about it. By run I mean not just post there once, I mean run stable all the time. Not many of those. So I think 150 MHz SDRAM isn't very practical at this point. So far though it seems DDR isn't that great of a...

I can notice a difference in a machine running at 133MHz vs. 100MHz in the memory. There is at least a 1/3 increase in performance. While going to CAS 2 over CAS 3 is only 10-15% of an increase. Granted I wouldn't advise someone go out and buy new RAM just to run at 133 MHz (well...maybe I...

Well what has happened is I was using a P3V4X and an accidental arc fried three PCI slots. Amazingly the thing still works its just buggy now. So I have a P3 550e that runs really well at 733. I'm using the system as a Digital Audio Workstation (for recording music) so stablity is at a...

I know I'll get creamed for this, but if i were you I'd update my bios and put in PIII. You can get a fairly fast one for under $150.00 on Pricewatch. An OEM Soundblaster live is under $40.00 today and a Radeon or Geforce MX w/VIVO can be had for around $100.00. So economically your under...

What is the best chipset for Slot 1 PIII's? What is the best Motherboard?

Best chipset for slot 1:confused:

Sorry it doesn't work that way. BX boards have the FSB and Memory bus linked together. On the other hand VIA chipsets allow you to change your FSB and your Memory speeds somewhat indepently. For example if you over clock a 300A from 66MHZ to 100MHZ FSB your memory will go from 66 MHZ to 100...

Have a P3 550e runs at 733 easily. Looking to replace a board in station (Asus P3V4X) since it was damaged. Been using a old BX board and sound card works much better with BX than VIA. I am considering Asus P3BF or MSI BX Master. Can't find BX Master for sale anywhere though. Thought about...
