My Viewsonic VP171b was delivered today. Newegg never ceases to amaze me with their shipping, I ordered it just yesterday at 2:30 pm with free shipping. This is one beautiful monitor! Right now it is connected with the analog cable as the supplied DVI-D cable (2 meters long) is too short to...

I have been considering the Hitachi and the NEC 16ms LCds but after seeing pictures of the Viewsonic VP171b and reading what MrGamer and TypeM have said, I ordered one today from Newegg for $499 with free shipping. Can't wait for it to arrive! I have a question for MrGamer or TypeM: How long...

Yes you can. Just built a PC for my dad with this mobo using the Promise controller as two IDE channels. Connected his drives as follows: IDE1 master - Lite-On 40x12x48 CD-RW IDE1 slave - empty IDE2 master - I/O Magic 50x CD-ROM IDE2 slave - empty Promise1 master - Maxtor 30GB 7200 HD (C...

Am building a new PC for my dad. Just ordered the Albatron PX845G Pro II from mwave.com for $118. Should be here sometime this week. Will post more info once I get it up and running.

jaeger66, Where have you seen it available? Have been searching but cannot find any online vendor with it.

How many sticks of RAM and what memory slots are you using? A friend just built a new nForce system with XP Pro and had problems with spontaneous reboots and crashes/windows errors in games. He tried Win 2000 with same results. Turns out he had put his two sticks of 128mb PC2100 RAM in memory...

Darn! Put one in my cart but then had to register. By the time I was done they were all gone!!! Grrrr...

Finnally, MSN has recorded my Photoalley purchase from last week, today. I was starting to get worried! I ordered a Canon ZR30MC from Photoalley on the evening of 11/22. Photoalley notified that it was shipped on Sat 11/24 and my CC was charged same day. Not sure if I have recieved the email...

Sweet deal! Been waiting a long time for a great deal on a digital camcorder. I just ordered the Canon ZR30MC miniDV camcorder from PhotoAlley.com for a bottom line of $419.99 plus tax after rebates from Canon, MSN and price matching thru AMEX Blue: ZR30 MC -- $747.95 shipping --...

Did you run a complete diagnostic using PowerMax? Did it certify the drive error free?

SpideyCU, You're welcome, I hope it was helpful in getting your system going. >>Just out of curiosity, when you say &quot;recent&quot; version of fdisk, how &quot;recent&quot; is that? << Supposedly there is a bug in fdisk versions thru Win98SE. It will not work on disks (or RAID arrays) over...

Download and run the PowerMax diagnostic from Maxtor. If the drive is going bad it will give you an error code. Also write down the drive's serial number, which PowerMax will display. As long as the drive is in warranty period, this is all you need. On the Maxtor website you can fill in an RMA...

Oopps, double post.

From what you describe it sounds like the striping did not really happen even though the boot screen reports the drives are striped. BTW, what version of the Highpoint bios and driver are you using? They should be matched. I am not familiar with your mobo, is the Highpoint controller built-in or...

Something is not quite right. You should have 80GB total for the C: drive if the drives are striped in a RAID 0 array. Have you loaded the Highpoint drivers in Win98?
