Well, could you then explain or post a link how to slipstream SP2 into an install CD the 'right' way? Thanks

In security center you can set the prefs to warn you of security risks in three categories: -Firewall, WindowsUpdate, and AntiVirus. If you have one of the three deactivated it will bug you until you deact that warning feature. You can do this in Security Center in the left collumn at the...

Well I can't speak for the general 'BS factor' of BlackViper's site, but the tweak-guide worked for me. I had a rock-solid system. I did not conduct detailed performance testing on these tweaks but there was a noticeable reduction in memory usage. At the time I was still on 256megs (now 1Gig)...

I have a Win2000 license as well, if thats better. I just thought stuff like DirectX and so on might not work as well. Besides, the Windows PRO versions all have tons of extra services slowing things down. But that ought to be tweakable.

Has anyone done a performance comparison across the WinXP line (original, SP1, SP2) in terms of pure games performance? I have the impression that each SP adds more stuff like services etc. that hog system resources. My gaming rig is offline, so security is a non-issue. I have tweaked my WinXP...

Starting off from the MX700 mouse thread, I wonder if anyone here uses the MX900 Bluetooth mouse. I'm interested in the desktop sets with BT, but they're f*ing expensive. So I'd like to know if its worth it. Anyone?

Why not go Bluetooth? Check out Logitech Di Nuovo or MX for Bluetooth.

Thanks for the input, guys! This has cleared up a few things for me. See you around!

Thanks for the quick reply mech. I definitely need a gig of RAM and single sticks are @'?!§ing expensive! So going with 2x512 seems to leave only PC2700 modules. Thats ok for me. Any info on the timings I can expect for such memory, are there big differences? I might try a little bios tweaking...

Ok, thanks for that. I'm not quite clear about one thing yet: Is it better to run RAM in sync with the FSB, or at max clock regardless. I'm asking, because back when DDR400 came around, many reviews said that 333 was actually faster. So what is better, DDR333 with better timings, or 400 with...

Hi folks. Just a Q about upgrading my RAM on the ASUS A7V8X (VIA KT400 chipset): I currently have 2x 128Mb=256Mb on board. I want to go to 2x512mb=1gig. What memory type would be most appropriate? (DDR 333 or DDR400, what make/model, etc). Also, would it be possible to stick a third 512 block...
