I'm looking for the best (fastest, highest resolution etc) video card for dual monitor set up. Bucks no problem (but not too professional!) I'll be using it in conjunction with an editing package like Pinnacle DV500. Thanks

Can any one help before I commit acts of exterme violence against my rig! I need to run a dual monitor set up and it worked great with 98se but with w2k (srvice pack 2) I keep on getting all pop up message boxes slap bang in the middle of the 'screen' ie; between the monitors rendreing them...

I have above mobo and cpu IDLE Temperature readings: System: 35 C CPU: 52C ambient +-29C Is this normal? I have a coolermaster CPU fan, and chasis exhaust fan.

Anyone know if this board has particular aversion to different makes/brands/types of PC2100 DDR ram? If I power up mobo with nothing but ram and vga connected nothing happens. No VGA no post. I f take out the ram I get a single long beep every 5 seconds. What does this mean?:frown:

Something made me repeat your test and lo and behold! I got a beep with no ram installed! Re installed the memory and no beep no vga. So presumeably its the RAM thats at fault. I'll borrow some and test later. Thanx again.

CPU and mobo tested by the agents from whom purchased. They tested the CPU by installing it on another system and the mobo the same with different ram and cpu, both given clean bill of health. Have just done your recommended test and no beeps. Will swap out CPU next. Thanks for your help. Any...

Thanx all! Just invested in a 400watt mother. Now, all I got to do is just put it all together...and see.

I'm running an Athlon XP 1800+.

Anyone noticed above average power consumption with above configuration?:confused:

Found a supplier of above PSU's and wondered if anybody has had any experience good or bad from them. ???:cool:

Greg Thanx. maybe you could help me with a question I've just posted in the 'periferals' section of the forum regarding SCSI IDing on converters. Thanx.

Hello. Can Anyone help??? I have a Cheetah 80 pin LC SCSI drive with a converter to 68 pin to connect it to my non hot swapable system. Question: Do I set the SCSI ID number on the drive or via the jumpers on the converter? And what else do I need to jump (LED, SYN etc) The system is straight...

Hello. Anyone know... Is it true that the monitor power supply at the back of the CPU drains wattage from the PSU (potentially starving the system of much needed watts) or is it at the end of looped curcuit ferom the mains and bypasses the PSU. Any advice?
