    Many Windows 2k problems please read

    I get that irq error sometimes, too. Has to do with a Quadro2MX, and also with adaptec ezcd, in my case. as for the service pack here use the network install. It's the 101+mb one.

    geforce2mx (quadro2mxr) memory swap

    I just completed the part change to make my GeForce2 MX card think it's a Quadro2 MXR. Easy fix, and works like a champ. Now I'm wondering if anyone has tried to change the sdram on board over to ddr? Or even upping it to 64mb from 32mb? I've got the smd tools, and the experience to use it...

    Need help Installing Windows 2000 properly (AMD, AGP, etc)

    Did mine, had no problems at all. Geforce2mx, dual 733's, dual boot. Just after you get the os installed, head over to via and get the newest 4in1's. The only booger was getting the win-tv card done, but hauppage had some good drivers on the site. Just make sure you get the card recognized...

    scsi....ide?

    sounds like one of the old caching controller cards...I had one that would format a 6gb hard drive in 15 seconds. Why did everyone quit making/supporting them?

    Roofing is SUCK

    I watched a guy with a hammer absolutely spank a guy with an air gun. It was no contest. He'd been swinging the hammer for almost 25 years, though. Gotta do my garage in a couple of weeks.

    << <<rmblam tell me when you find a OEM that will bend over backwards to support a OS they didnt sell the machine with>> >> And Ibm even gives you instructions and suggestions on how to shift from 98 to 2k. Was a Great company to deal with.

    I've had a Toshiba, and dealt with their tech support. Not too bad. Ibm's tech support blew them away, even to the point that they've called me afterwards to make sure everything's ok with the system. I'm in Compaq tech support hell, 3 trips back for the same problem, and they really don't...

    << Compaq, Armada or Evo line >> I wouldn't do Compaq at all. Why do you like them? The restore partition is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen.

    Anyone see the 1st Annual BET Awards last night? [This thread has turned into "Is BET racist?"]

    I don't believe that. I've seen people get upset about the strangest things. Try NAAWP Miss White America United White College Fund and there's probably more that would tick alot of people off. << They've done it before. I've seen Jim Carrey do it, most black people just laugh. They can...
