If you set that drive up in a Raid array with one other drive and run it in Raid 0, you will lose everything on it. The minute you setup the array, all info on the drives is gone. How many drives are you using in this computer? What raid setup are you planning on using? Raid 0 (striped. at...

Oooops. Almost forgot. You can get the frame rate from inside the game by hitting the "enter" key on the number pad (like you would to enter any cheat codes that you might use) and type "toggleshowframerate". Your video card will show in the center and your frame rate will show in the upper...

I play Ghost Recon in XP without problems. A little system info would help. What video card, sound card, which drivers, what resoultion are you running in? Did you turn off Anti Aliasing? Switch from 32bit to 16bit color? If you are running an Nvidia GeForce 2 based card like the Ultra or...

<< Win2k/XP just won't allow you to make a FAT32 partition bigger than 32GB because Microsoft wants you to use NTFS. It will however read them just fine. >> Hmmmm....thats strange. My boot partition and primary drive is Fat32 and its 40GB. I didn't have any problems formatting it or...

Just a thought..... When Win2K was setup on that computer, it wasn't using any type of "software" raid or dynamic disk setup was it? If it was you may have a serious problem tyring to recover the data on that secondary drive. I am not real familiar with software raid and exactly how it works...

Well, I will have to second the motion of most other people here. I use Nero for general burning and Clone CD for copying CD's. Both are awesome and work really well. I had EZCD 5 Platinum, but it didn't play well with my setup and won't burn a "true" ISO image, so I taped a quarter to it and...

I have had the same problem before too. I have an Epox 8K7A+ and don't even have the onboard audio enabled or any of the drivers loaded for it. I use a Sounblaster Audigy Gamer and a GeForce3 vid card. I think I finally tracked mine down to over aggressive memory timings because when I...

You should probably do some research and find out what stripe size works the best with your Promise controller and the operating system and File system (Fat32 or NTFS) that you plan to use. Unless your doing large file transfers between multiple drives or video editing, I would recommend 16K or...

AWESOME!! Yours scores a little better than mine. Mine averages 37800, and just tested at 37640, so I think you got it. Your situation with your soundcard now has me pretty convinced that thier might be a problem with Soundblaster Live! and Audigy cards when trying to setup Raid on Fat 32...

All the Bios Files that I have used from that site for my Epox 8K7A+ were just what they said they were. And the Calvin logos are cool. You can even download a utility called CBROM from their and a Caldera DR-Dos startup disk (really really small) and make your own BIOS from a dos prompt by...

Try this sight Bios Mods They should have the BIOS file you need. I would also recommend disabling ACPI in BIOS. It was just a huge pain in the A** for me anyway, and after disabling it and configuring my Video, Sound, Network and Raid to use their own IRQ, my system was much faster and more...

Had the same problem with Xp on NTFS partition. Disk performance was pathetic and was very obviously slower booting up, accessing files and transferring files. Disk performance on Sandra peaked at 23,000. I fdisked and formatted and switched back to Fat32 and after some driver and Highpoint...
