I love reading responses from people who think they are audiophiles... so lets see... Riddle me these: 1) what type of car do you have? 2) What type of system do you have in said car 3) where are your speakers located? 4) what type of box are your two subwoofers in? 5) where are they located...

Ahh Tops Friendly Markets... Reminds me of Buffalo (home) There is no place like Tops here in Virginia.. no bulk at all

I picked one up as well. This is actually replacing one that was stolen. I have a full extra set of the batteries, charger and case. Im happy to note that a small piece had broken on the original unit and was tricky to get working. I hope it fully broke off from the bastards that stole it! I...

But look at the battery life! 4 hours? Ugh. i would have to re-charge nightly. Im still leaning towards the SlimX or RioVolt. Its a bit more rugged, the batteries last 2.5 times longer and the media can switch between my car stereo and portable CD player pretty darn easily. I guess the ability...

WOOHOO! Buz rocks. He was the man. I needed to run the SISide.exe Thanks everyone Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 DirectX Version 8.1 Mobo Manufacturer ECS Mobo Model K7S5A AGP Rates (Current/Available) 4x / 1x 2x 4x CPU AMD Athlon(tm) XP/MP/4 1410 MHz FSB 66 MHz Memory 256...

buz, you rock. How many times did you tell me to look there? im sorry.:o

I am running a k7s5a with an athlon 1600. I am using the most recent bios for overclocking, but have speed at 138. i have SMART enabled in the bios.I have win2k on the machine with service pack 2. I have a brandnew 7200 rpm 80gig maxtor and a 30 gig 5400 rpm maxtor from my ol machine. Both are...

and i appreciate it! checking my settings, it says Use DMA if available, but it says its using PIO. How do i make it use DMA? and will having 4 partitions per drive cause low numbers like this?

Thank you peter! Where can i varify DMA settings on a win2k machine? I looked at the device manager -------> IDE ATA/ATAPI etc etc and right clicked ------> properties. Is there somewhere else i should check? I disabled ATAPI in my win2k start up as it said on some of the k7s5a faqs

DMA is enabled. I have multiple partitions on the drives, could that cause it? I received an ATA133 card with the Maxtor 80 gig drive. Should i use the card? I was having a really tough time booting off of it. It made the boot process much longer. Do i want to turn of SMART? Anything else to...

Thanks for responding. I was not able to find a newer driver on the SiS site, i have one from 1999 as my PCI IDE Controller. Any other recommendations? by the way, the primary is a 80gig 7200 rpm maxtor, the secondary is a 30 gig 5400 rpm maxtor. Im curious as to what other people have set...

here is the information off of PCMark: Why does my FSB only say 66? I am slightly overclocked at 136mhz. What should my Bios settings be? i have a 400watt power supply Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 DirectX Version 8.0 Mobo Manufacturer ECS Mobo Model K7S5A AGP Rates...

Can the same law be used to help with the NECXDirect/Rio problem, where they had the picture and discription of product A on the site when i ordered, only to check and see that they changed the description to now equal product B? I already ordered product A, days before they switched it! Please...

are there any $5 off $50 coupons, or something of the like, so i can add more freeness to the GC?

They just called me back. The claim it was a item# mix up and the description they have on the website now is the correct description. They cannot sell me what was there before for the simple fact, they don't carry it. I had them cancel the orders While i was on the phone with him, i checked...
