    Old Video Card Question

    I didn't know if the Voodoo3 itself would cause any problems. I might look into a cheap card of some sort if the Voodoo3 won't work. Thanks for the suggestion Mr. Pepper.

    Old Video Card Question

    Hello all. I have a question about a few old video cards. Right now I have a Gainward GeForce3 card in my system and I have it hooked to my main monitor (of course). A friend of mine gave me another monitor and I would like to set it up to use also. I don't have a DVI adapter to hook it up...

    1st Generation AlienWare (upgrade)

    I agree with Virge, without a BIOS update, you are out of luck.

    Would you agree that hard drive manufacturer preferances are personal opinions?

    I think that is very true. Everyone has their biases and opinions. I like IBM (Hitachi) drives, because I have had no problems out of them, while others on this forum (Tea Bag) have had problems. It is opinion.

    XP SP2a

    I agree with all of the above, I have seen SP2 installed on many machines without any problems at all. I think SP2 is a very worthwhile upgrade for all XP users.

    2000 or XP on K6-2 550 256MB

    Windows 2000..........You would be surprised at how much faster it will run than Windows XP on an older machine.

    OS for a Celeron 366 with 256MB RAM

    I have to agree........I think Windows 2000 would be the best choice. You get the great stability of the NT Kernal, but you won't have the "pretties" that slow things down. I run Windows 2000 myself.

    Apple fakes gaming benchmarks?

    I have used both types of computers and I can honestly say that gaming on a Mac is nowhere near as fun as gaming on a PC. The PC is much better for gaming, as I'm sure you all know already!!
