    Memory experts, need your input

    I bought several sticks of the same ram, just different size. Some had v-data, some had nanya. I ran benchmarks on individual dimm's and found no major performance difference between the two.

    Bios Boot rom checksum error ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    A bad command.com wouldn't give you bios checksum errors. What exactly happened when the game crashed? I think it can be one of two things, a virus or plain old hardware failure. I had a somewhat similar problem. I was playing Dave Mirra's BMX when my comp rebooted for no apparent reason and my...

    What specs do I need to look for for new hard drive?

    EIDE and IDE are basically the same thing. So are Ultra DMA and ATA. You can buy an ATA 133 hard drive but if your motherboard doesn't support it, you will only get ATA 100 speeds.

    Shuttle AK31A or AK35GTR?

    No flamers please. I realise that Shuttle has had a bad rep, but the AK31A is a great board. They recently came out with the AK35GTR which seems to be basically the same exept for the onboard raid support. Are there any major improvements in performance? Mainly, is it worth the additional $25...

    mobo recomended for AMD XP 1900

    I'd recommend the Shuttle AK31A. If you don't plan on doing any insane o/cing, this is a great board. NewEgg.com got it for around $80. The only flaw is that you have to configure the memory settings yourself for max performance, read the newegg reviews for the instructions. I've had it for...
