Thanks for the replies ! Yeah, I know storage is cheap, should perhaps have mentioned that I have a 80GB disk... The thing is, I've already formatted and partioned the drive, as well as installed an OS++, so was checking if the existing partitions would be adequate. (C:\System98 2GB...

Ok, lets rephrase that..... :D The machine to download on has not XP or 2000, but I still want the update for them. While trying that link further up here, message from MS says : "Thank you for your interest in Windows Update Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you...

well, what if your connected system is NOT win2000 or XP ? Guess you have to locate each fix manually, and then........ download, if at all possible.......

Planning on buying said OS, wondering about the partition size (system disk) .... Now, how many MB does that take, list several if you have tried Pro, Home or even 'Corporate' version... Will 3000MB/3GB be enough, adding a few utility programs as well ? I have 2GB now, for my Win98 partition...

What kind of monitor do you have ? (Nokia?) Try turning the monitor on/off a few times during boot and/or later etc, then 'maybe'... Had a similar problem during first boots after installation(or later, during bios fiddling), machine starts up fine, but no video... Obviously you've checked the...

Well, I have a fondness for the 'past', i.e. I want my OLD games to run as they used to, emulation mode aside.... Yeah, I know, nostalgia etc, but some are pretty good as well... So am willing to try some serious coaching of win98 before going through testing all my games for which ones that...

Thanks you all for your vauluable tips and info ! An update: A friend of mine(technician) took the mboard to his house, and did several tests, including several installs of win98. Looked fine to him. So we reassembled my machine, and seems a bit better now. (I even taped the case'studs' the...

Not sure whether this is a hardware problem or not, shouldn't be but... Have been trying for a few weeks now, to get win98SE installed properly, including drivers for VGA, sound, mouse (for now...). BUT there ALWAYS seems that something is wrong or unstable. Setup(all items brand new): P4...

hmm, how exactly do you see if your DIMM is a 'single density module' ? mem chips on only one side of the pcb ? (guess not, but rather clueless here... ;P )

FYI: review at Hard|OCP... not so good news it seems, or they got a warped board.... http://hardocp.com/article.html?art=MzIxLDU=

Regarding my 'big' problems with the board: Finally found the culprit..... Seems the board interprets my messing(puttin in xtra) with the memory as a failed 'overclocking' attempt, or something, resulting in the same errors as MIDIman points out. BUT, clearing CMOS with moving the jumper...

Thanks, but as mentioned in my previous post, I already did just that at least twice.... ;) And no, I was not overclocking at the moment, not for a long time (just tried it when finally got POST, early in the process, was not OC'd when installing Windows). And no, still no POST, just black...

Double post.....

Having BIG trouble with this mainboard. Symptoms: when turn on power, it beeeeeeeeeeeeeps, then a few seconds pause, and then beeeeeeeeeeep again, etc etc..... Have to turn off the PSU to stop it. Had this problem when first pieced it all together, but after reapplying all parts of the...
