Thanks alot !!! Getting rid of Win98 tonight, w00t!!

That must be the method in a different version or something. Under file there are two seperate menu items, "import" and below it "export". Under export there isn't an option to export to file, only options to export the address book (whick I did) and messages. But it only...

Okay, I upgraded my linux box to Mandrake 8.0 the other day, and I finally decided I need to do the same with Windows. So here's the scoop: I've saved most everything I need (My Documents, etc.) to my D: partition (FAT32) and I'll be formatting the C: partition and installing Win2k there. I've...

Superpower Zephyr. Easy case to work in, single thumbscrew access. 300w PSU, and room for two case fans. go to The Chip Merchant and they've got it for $60 -Gilgamesh-

All right!! It was wierd, but all I had to do was hit the reset switch when it tried to boot and it magically worked... now I have to do that everytime I cold boot... but it's consistent... maybe a flaw with the AOpen boards? I'm happy... now I need to get this puppy stable at 850... she's at...

The parts involved: FC-PGA Celeron 566, MSI Slocket(ver 2.3), AOpen AX6BC Pro Gold motherboard. The board is flashed to the latest BIOS version, and the jumper settings on the slocket are correct. The chip/slocket works in a friend's system on an Abit BX6r2 (my old one I sold him... doh!)...

So far as I know, the only board that has the jumperless BIOS reset (the "home key trick") is the AOpen AX6BC series. But I could be wrong. The MSI Slocket has jumpers, and I've tried virtually every setting. The problem isn't that it won't overclock. The motherboard doesn't...

Nah, I've tried the home key trick and that didn't work. Thanks anyway... Damn... anyone wanna swap an Abit board for this AOpen? At least then I'd probably be able to run the damn celemine... I don't understand it, the AOpen is supposed to be this great BX board, and I have the latest...

I just checked again, but I haven't found any loose connections. I don't think there would be since the system I'm typing this on right now is the system in question, I just slaped the old 300A back in. This is too wierd... the damn chip worked in an Abit board, and the AOpen is allegedly...

I just bought a Celeron2-566 to run in my AOpen motherboard. For some reason, the board doesn't even recognize that a chip is in there. No beeps, no POST, nothing. I flashed the bios, and I've tested the chip in a friends computer (got to 850Mhz@1.8v on his Abit BX6r2). I really don't want...

Okay, we got Matt's system working, his video card wasn't seated properly. (duh). We tested both chips and they POSTed and loaded Windows at 850Mhz@1.8v!! Yeah! Here's the bad news... for some reason, neither chip wants to work in my board, the AOpen AX6BC Pro Gold... I flashed the latest...

I checked both cpus... no brown spot, or any other physical indication of damage. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Advice? I'd hate to have to return both chips... this stinks! Thanks in advance... -Gilgamesh-

A friend of mine and I both purchased new OEM Cel2-566 cpus, FC-PGA Gorbs and MSI Slockets from the Chip Merchant. I'm using an AOpen AX6BC Pro Gold motherboard with the latest BIOS and Matt's using an Abit BX6r2. Here are our problems: I can't get anything. No beeps, no nothing. I'm not even...
