Once again. Many thanks.

Thanks all.

By low end, I was thinking about $500-650 for the monitor and vid card. I had in mind maybe a Gf3 ti200 which can have DVI, but don't know if all LCD monitors require DVI for gaming or not.

Hi all. System is P3 933 mhz cpu. Asus Tusl2-c mobo. 256 mb ram For desktop space reasons I need an LCD monitor. 17" if I can, 15" if I have to. What monitor/video card combo will allow gaming and not be overkill for this older cpu? Anything to watch out for? Is DVI necessary? Thanks...

Thanks WarCon. What happens is the computer locks up. Then it can't reboot in the usual (c-drive) way. The first time it said (something like) "non system disk". The second time it happened it said certain files were missing, like himem.sys, and a couple of others. The second time...

Hello all, My Abit SE6, PIII 700, 128 mb Corsair PC133 cas2, Win98se, IBM 30 gig 7200 rpm ata100 dtla 307030 has had the same thing happen twice. Lockup and won't boot, boot with emergency startup disk and scandisk finds massively fragmented data which it "fixed" Bottom line, a...

Cusl2, 1006a bios PIII 700e Win98se with IE 5.5 upgrade CL Annihilator 2, 758 drivers DirX 8 System several months old and rock stable until a week ago. Get lockups exclusively when in IE and clicking on a link. Have to do hard reboot. Then I have to repair IE. It seemed like a software...

My understanding is that you CAN'T uninstall directx 8 Ken

Well, I got the Crucial PC133 cas2, and it is just fine. Stable to fsb 150, just like the Corsair PC133, cas2 and the Mushkin PC133, rev2 I have tested in the same machine. (I haven't tried to go higher than fsb 150 yet with the Crucial, but the Corsair went to fsb 153 whereas the Mushkin did...

So is there ANY difference between a Micron -7E stick that Crucial sells vs. a Micron -7E stick that Corsair sells? (besides price)

Thanks everybody. I ordered the $90 Crucial instead of the $130 Corsair (which WAS $220 only a couple of weeks ago). The Micron -7E is as good as there is it appears. Ken

There is quite a price difference between Crucial and Corsair for the best Micron -7E ram, PC133 cas2, especially the 128mb stick. Using the age old and generally reliable, "you get what you pay for", one wonders what the quality/performance difference is. Ken

Thanks guys. I'll let everybody know how it does.

A local shop has a PIII 700 cCo stepping ... week 34, I think. (OEM for $210) He also has a week 21 PIII 700 cBo stepping (Boxed retail for $240) Any experience or information re: overclockability of the cCo vs the cBo? He is holding them for me for 24 hrs. Thanks. Ken

You didn't mention your OS. I have had the same problem with Win98se. The solution that has worked for me is to "change" the video adapter driver. Windows "finds" the best driver and after the installation all the choices you want are there. Only thing is: I think it is...
