    Motherboard compatability question

    It sounds like you're saying a SATAII drive will be compatible with my mobo in that it will work in SATAI mode, while I was asking if it will work in SATAII mode (SATA/300). Of course, it depends on the specific model hard drive - I'm looking at a Maxtor Diamondmax10 . Did I misunderstand you?

    Best drivers for 9800XT?

    I'm currently using Cat 5.6. Haven't upgraded drivers as new drivers don't offer anything for these older cards. My video performance seems poor lately, so I thought I'd try to find out if there's a better/older driver for this card. Thanks.

    Should I update my video card drivers?

    I have an MSI 9800XT that Ive been using Omega 2.5.9.7 drivers on. When I read the list of changes for new drivers, it's always geared to next gen cards. Should I update anyway, or stay where I am? Also, with my current driver there are no tabs or boxes for AA & AF control. Is this the way...

    A few weeks ago, I had one of my pc's powered w/o a surge protector, and sure enough got a power surge. Since then I've got no video, and no motherboard beeps (signifying dead motherboard). I get power through the motherboard as all the fans and the hard drives spin. System specs: Abit...
