take it back if you can, get a refund and get an a7s333, save yourself hours of woe, and thank the lord above that that is the extent of your dealings with the horrible thing:( I had one for a day(the shop had it for a week or two)and I had more trouble than I have ever encountered with a piece...

No, no, most assuredly no... I had both, first a gf1-pro, then a voodoo5 5500, and I can say, without any doubt, that the only thing a v5 does better is 2d. S, if you want to play diablo 1 forever, go for it. As for 3dfx and compatibility, did any of you actually make any sense of the last...

Hey dudes and dudettes.... Whenever a power switch gets turned on or off, right down to the power on the kettle, the computer reacts to it, meaning I am getting spiking or somesuch through the pute.. Thats what seems to happen anyway;) Will a ups isolate the pute from that sort of stoof...

Hey doods, it's like they used to say in that oh-so-groovy 80's cartoon.... "Geeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Force!!" I would be more inclined to wait and save a little more until the nv30's come out, not long now;) B.t.w: I had a pIII 1ghz with 512mb ram, and I...

Tis a good thing that I won't ever be likely to play ghost recon then;) lol No guys, I haven't noticed that happening under M.e. As I said, it has been running absolutely bug free since I installed it. 98se, however did something not unlike that. I am not over fussed on xp pro or 2000...

The answer is simple, methinks...Save a little longer, you are almost there. For an extra 40 quid, I would DEFINATELY go the whole hog and get the 128mb card, geforce, radeon, doesn't really matter..I personally would go geforce, as I am on my fourth, no problems. One thing though, others may...

The devil is in the details;) I have just installed winMe and all the latest drivers for it, which actually install themselves, unlike the 98se setup.... The funny thing about it all is, M.e. which is the supposedly worst of all the windows 9x's, is the only windows I have not had one...

What o/s are you using, have you got the latest bios(1004)and is yours the digital revision? What order do you install your drivers/os patches(windows update) in? I am trying to figure out what is going on with mine. I have not been able to get it to run properly since I got it a week ago...

Hahahahaaa, yeah, I was a little bored, but I figured out that deleting the secondary channel would make it rescan properly, which it did.. Pc-cillin is still doin its thang, but that don't really matter, after all, as I am bored, I was thinking of getting rid of xp and going back to 98 or...

anyone else here using an n-force chipeed m/board? Thoughts? Is the onboard sound worth using, or is it the source of all woes on these boards? I have an asus a7n266-vm/lan and it seems to be buggy as hell(see thread "Graphics hell on earth!")should I use a pci sound card, and what are the...

my lg 32x10x40 burner WAS running in dma under xp, right up until I did what you guys said, just to make sure. Now it won't run in dma mode at all, no matter what I do. AAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrghghghghg what was that saying again, If it ain't broke, and all that. Anyone care to help me make it...

Time to kick myself again, gunlok may be generating an error, but that is, I would say, most probably a software thing, any of you dudes know about the setting in system properties, called startup and recovery, you know the one with the tab that says, "Automatically restart"? ;) I daresay that...

I dunno about the whole memory thing, check out my thread "Graphics hell on earth" I have had exactly the same probs with ALL 3d games, took it back and they did replace the ram, but it still seems to like to crash alot, for instance, gunlok restarts windows xp when I exit it, and wolfenstein...

I dunno, I sorta loiked it.... If wolfenstein running flat out and perfect is anything to go by, I think I am in business..I got a two year warranty on this baby, so I think I will mess with it for a while, see what happen.. Also, I noticed that windows update doesn't particularly like you to...

well, wolfenstein works great, but gunlok restarts the system when I exit it....Hmmm. I Can't really tell if it is the game or the system with that one. I guess I will have to keep trying different games and se how many of them actually work:)
