    Anyone know of a Intel mobo FAQ site

    I know it prob doesn't need one like the Paul's Unofficial FAQ for the KT7. Chuckle chuckle. But I was wondering if there is a website/FAQ/Forum that deals specifically with configuration/setup/etc. of P4 mobos, particulary the Intel ones like the D850 series. Thanks. Mighty MeatGrinder>XTC<

    Has anyone/can I, use nvidia ref drivers on ASUS V8200 Geforce3?

    I don't mean to be rude, but the question I asked was if I can use nvidia reference drivers on my asus v8200. Has anyone done this without frying their card? I understand that asus is not a reference design. I'm asking this because I want to use the 3d laser xhair that comes with the asus...

    Samsung 955df hurts me eyes, help me

    Some people just can't deal with flats. I'm one of them, I tried one for a week and couldn't get used to it, so I went with a semi flat 950P and it's great. Seems to be brighter too.

    help me pick a 19" ?

    P.S. I looked into the KDS once at Best Buy, the salesman there warned me off of them saying they get alot back. NEC used to be the industry leader, now they clearly are the best among the worst monitors. I would avoid NEC. again......my 2 cents. Not redeemable at face value.

    help me pick a 19" ?

    I only buy Samsung. I have been completely blown away by their fine, bright picture. I own 3 of them now and they are absolutely flawless. They put Sony monitors to shame (not that Sony ever made a good monitor anyway). My fav is currently the 950p, I personally find the semi-flats to be...

    Has anyone/can I, use nvidia ref drivers on ASUS V8200 Geforce3?

    The first one I got, it booted fine into windows (98se). I loaded the latest Nvidia ref drivers (12.41) and when I rebooted my video card would only display beautiful colors right from post. The card was fried. Now whether it was the nvidia driver or just a fluke I dunno. When I got my 2nd...

    Did I fry my ASUS Geforce 3?

    No, I cannot get it to run with standard vga adapter setting in windows. It won't even work right on POST right after turning on. That leads me to believe it is hosed. And these things ALWAYS happen to me. LOL. I never get anything to work right out of the box.

    Did I fry my ASUS Geforce 3?

    Well I do have a warranty, I bought it from a reputable company that I have bought from before. The only thing i had was coolbits, but like I said, it is hosed the moment that computer is turned on, before it gets to windows registry. Besides I had a geforce ddr before this and the max setting...

    Did I fry my ASUS Geforce 3?

    I popped in my new V8200 ASUS Geforce 3 Deluxe card (after uninstalling old video drivers and setting video driver to Standard VGA Display Adapter). Then I reboot, get into Windows 98SE, load the latest 12.41 WHQL reference driver and restart. Now when machine first turns on, I get colored...
