    Slipstreamed SP2 to WinXP only came out to 302 megs?

    Weird. I just slipstreamed SP2 and burned it on a CD, and the size is 613MB (or 584MB, depending on which # you read). There's definitely something wrong with your slipstreamed copy...

    P4C800-E LAN & USB Problems

    ATI 9800 128MB or 256MB for Doom 3?

    Thanks for the replies. I've decided to go with the 128MB version (256-bit) since I got a good deal on it, and the deal wasn't available on teh 256MB version. I'm in Canada so unfortunately can't take advantage of the US deals.

    ATI 9800 128MB or 256MB for Doom 3?

    I know it's a n00b question, but here goes: I'm upgrading my computer to a P4 3GHz and I've narrowed down my vid card choices to the ATI 9800 Pro with either 128MB or 256MB ram. For playing Doom 3, would the 256MB vesrion be significantly better than the 128MB version, and would it justify the...

    anyone know when the Audigy will be available?

    Hey fellow Torontonian, No stores I know have the Audigy yet, but http://www.infonec.com (401/Hurontario in Mississauga) will have them by Wednesday Sept 17. I've already placed an order for an X-Gamer, and they suggest ordering beforehand as they'll sell like hotcakes...

    Thanks, that makes sense now.

    Win XP Pro vs. Personal

    Maybe I'm slow, but doesn't 'multi-monitor support' depend on the vid card and the manufacturer's drivers for that specific card? What you guys are saying is that a Matrox G450 Dual Head with proper drivers would not work properly with the 2nd monitor in a non 'multi-monitor' OS?

    Integrating SP2 into Win2K BEFORE installation

    After Win2K SP2 comes out, I'd like to integrate the SP before installing the actual OS. I understand that I have to copy the i386 directory to my hard drive and then run the SP2 with some options. Can anyone help? I once had a link to a website that showed me how to do this, but I lost that link.
