    Poll: Best DDR Motherboard Contest

    I didnt realize the Epox board had the correct power configuration for the new palominos. Most of the boards that are supposed to support it have 6 power regulators while the Epox only has 4. I have liked all my previous Epox board and will definitely buy from them again if the new core will...

    BSOD on shutdown?!!!!!

    Nope, the 4060 still sucks. I deal w/ them on a daily basis for PacBell DSL. If there is such thing as a win-dslmodem, this would be it. I would request a switch for an ethernet modem.

    WHAT IS PIO

    The BIOS is reporting the capability of each device. Its still a good idea to have DMA enabled in the device manager for any drive that will support it.

    winME, how to uninstall? HELP!

    The boot menu should point to root c:\ drive for normal windows already, when 98se is loaded it will place its files back there and when you reset the boot loader it will be looking in the correct place by default. I may have to go home tonite and load up my back up hd and give this little idea...

    winME, how to uninstall? HELP!

    I have a thought, but no actual gaurentee for it working. Format a floppy in Win2k.. copy the ntldr, boot.ini and i think there are 1-2 other files needed.. (im not at my win2k box right now) This floppy will let you boot into Win2k after we kill the mbr. Delete the Windows folder.. (im...

    difference between linksys wireless access points?

    The access point w/o the switch will let you add a wireless device to you current set up. The other one just combines everything in one box. We have 3 computers networked around the house and my roommate just bought a laptop. Now we are considering upgrading to a combo wireless/switch router...

    Kenwood IDE drive on ATA 66 with Hard Drive

    There is a good chance the Creative drive will work fine w/ the Plextor if they are on separate ide channels. When they are hooked to the same cable, only one device can communicate at a time. When they are separated, the Creative is able to send data while the Plextor receives. There is no...

    Window's 98 upgrade version question.

    I copy the entire win98 directory to my hd and run the setup from there. It should ask for the older version cd, verify it and continue on w/ the install. The nice thing about installing from the hd is that you wont have to find and insert the cd when another piece of hardware or software asks...
