    What IBM has to say about the "hours of usage" issue

    My 3 40Gig IBM's are on 14-16 hours aday without probs. I like 'em, OK so IBM cocked up with the GXP's, they have sorted that out & held up their hands to that, as far as I am concerned, they could have just ignored complaints like some other companies I won't mention! I did buy a maxtor last...

    Help! Major problems with geforce 3 ti200

    Need help with onboard audio drivers for k7s5a

    Sucky board that, I RMA'ed 4 of them, you really do need a good quality power supply for that board, defeating the purpose of buying a budget mobo, anyway the MOBO drivers on the CD are useless in win98, it uses win 98 plug & play drivers, as for the audio drivers you need to open the CD & run...

    Is this what's KILLING my video performance? (AGP Bus)

    Use this app to completly remove the Nvidia drivers & re-install them after reboot, also go into the Bios & check that the first video device is AGP, (this doesn't actually improve benchmarks but speeds up the boot & that the AGP mode is at 4x): http://guru3d.com/detonator-destroyer/ Download...
