I've been looking for this as well. I think it's a ripoff for MS to be charging so much for this. Looking back, I purchased Windows 3.1, win 98 and win ME (mistake). Paid around 70-80 for most (ME was around $40 i think). I would prefer to have a legal copy myself and there's nothing wrong with...

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

A friend asked me about upgrading memory on her machine. I opened it up and found a VA-503+ Mb. (k6-2 300 mhz cpu) It has a 32 meg DIMM in it now, I'm not sure what speed, but I think it's 66mhz memory. (I couldn't tell what the jumpers were set to without the manual). I planned on just...

I just picked up a couple at BJ's (Nashua, NH store - not sure about other locations). Memorex brand 128mb smartmedia cards reg. $49.99 on clearance for $28. No rebates or coupons involved.

I posted a couple replies on another thread in here about this deal. I emailed (through the "contact us" page on the website) last Friday. I stated that I had not recieved the DVD or the coupon. A couple of days later, I got a response from them stating that I should keep checking my mail and...

I'm running an ECS K7S5A w/ an XP1600, windows 98. I'm having a problem after installing a new video card and new CD writer. (replaced old ones). The new card is an ATI AIW-7500. The problem, I have is that when I leave the system alone for a while and return, the system is in standby mode...

followup to my previous note: I got another email from bestbuy in reponse to my complaint. Took more than the 24-48 hours they stated btw... It basically says I should keep checking my email for the coupon. No mention about wher the DVD is. To top it off, the email has spam on it saying "if...

I should have known better than to go for a deal with best buy. Trouble as usual. I have not recievd the DVD or the $10 coupon. I submitted a complaint yesterday about this and got the auto reply stating that someone will contact me within 24-48 hours. It hasn't been 48 hours yet, but none the...

I have a windows 98 system that I just added a network card to. The network that I connected it to uses workgroups instead of domains. I turned the NT domain option off (in network/ Client for MS networks). When the system reboots, it continues to ask for a domain name and when you go back...

That was me that mentioned running it at 85hz. Funny you should mention it, now I'm running at 84hz. I'm running win 98 with an old matrox mystique PCI card. When I first hooked up the monitor I had it at 1024 *768 and it was running at 60hz. The specs for the monitor claim it does 85 at...

re: beyonddc Did you bring a printout of the sale in to the store? That's what I did. I think if I hadn't, then they would have blown me off too. re: rehany I wouldn't say this a great monitor. It's just an inexspensive soultion for a low end system. $50 for a new monitor and fairly decent...

I picked up one of the monitors too. Works out great for me since I was in the process of rebuilding an old system for my wife to use at her office where the desk space is limited. I had gone out over the weekend looking for an inexpensive small monitor and couldn't find any, so this was just...

Does anyone know what the difference is (other than price) between the Retail and OEM version of the AIW 7500?

I have a somewhat related question. How many IRQs does the AIW card use? Just one? I recall some cards with multiple functions actually using 2 IRQS even though there's only 1 card. (The one I can recall off the top of my head was a 1 way cable modem that used phone line for upload and cable...

I have not seen these on any online stores at all. Pricewatch, pricegrabber, etc.. come up with nothing. I saw one of these 2 weeks ago at bestbuy, and they have it advertised in their flyer this week, but good luck actually finding one there now. I didn't it buy it because I'm waiting for...
