    no music on UT 2004

    I guess I didn't notice when but the music no longer plays in UT2004. I've opened the UT music player (F11) and messed with that a bit, but no music. It did this before and after reinstalling windows and all my games it came back. And of course, it's gone again. All the other sounds are there...

    socket 478 800fsb P4 on 533fsb mobo?

    ah yes, because the multiplier right? Ok, not worth it then, I'll tell him to hold on it. I found the 2.8GHz seems to be the fastest on 533fsb that I can find and it's cheap, maybe I'll just do that. Thanks.

    2 rail PSU and X1950PRO

    Ok, this Antec Basiq 500 has two 12 volt rails, 18A each. The sapphire Radeon X1950 PRO AGP has 2 molex connectors and the recommendation is 30A. Do I supply each of these connections on the card from seperate rails to equal 36A? Not certain if I understand this right. Thanks.

    Slow boot? Instability?

    What is your power supply? The X1950 is very hungry and can cause instability with a low PSU.

    Ok, I know, everyone will say, "get PCIexpress." I understand why, but I'm not doing it yet, I have my reasons, and I have a great Radeon X1950PRO 512 AGP and I want to go up to Core 2 duo e6320. I am finding motherboards with AGP8x and 1066FSB but the best I can find is support for DDR2 533. I...
