Well, the 8 mb all-in-wonder may not be doing wonder for your preformance. What does the P3-800 use? Also, just because you have ppc133 ram does not necessarily mean it's running at spec. Check to see that there are not bios settings underclocking the thing. If you can provide a site for the...

Well, why dispair until you need to. Dealing with windows device drivers is almost as bad as having a shocked mobo at any rate :) But to be fair, it is a definite possibility.

Try deleting the hardware in question from device manager and rebooting. You should do this in safe mode, since windows will sometimes incorrectly try to reinstall available drivers if you are in normal mode. Of course, if the winmodem/audio driver software comes with uninstall features, you...

Your system is failing during the soft-off process. Basically, ATX motherboards and power supplies go into a deep type of "sleep" state (a state which preserves neither ram nor cpu states) when you shut down using windows or the power key. When starting up, the power button simply...

I run linux and had the "PNP OS" option disabled from the start (RH7 is PNP-capable, but it's better to have things uniform). The Linksys is on IRQ 9, the USB on 10. No following. However, I do get strange temp reads with Motherboard Monitor 5 when I have my USB mouse plugged in. But...

Some questions: Which slot has which card? Is there anything attached to the USB? Does the boot diagnostic show the NIC sharing with anything else?

If there is no other drive on the IDE secondary, then master. Otherwise, slave. Many mobos have cable-select channels where which IDE connector you use makes a difference, so that may be a cause. However, this sort of problem should be continuous, not warm-reboot related. Got me stumped on that...

Generally speaking raid reqires that data be written to all hd from the start at the same approx rate. I haven't used sw-raid before on my systems, but hardware raid AFAIK requires all drives to be entered into the array before format so the FS is properly balanced accross the drives. Please...

I have a similar setup with no problems. I belive the source may be the SBLive. Look at the abit kt7-raid pdf manual page 68+ or printed manual section 3-7 for info on how to manually override and set up the IRQ configs. Other than that, perhaps I can find out whether the USB intentionally...

Well, in that case, choose the SL3PZ from the list at intel and use the ABit $10 slotket adapter. That is the easiest way. The stepping (revision) of the 533 is higher, but that only means that some of the newer features (if there actually are any) will not be used by the mobo. No big deal...

As the last note in the other thread says, follow standard setup procedures using "tulip" as the driver. I presonally use RH7, which autoconfigures the system. Kudzu and LinuxConf may be of some use to you in terms of config files. As usual with linux, milage varies. The best way is...

What's your preference? Suggestions on parts, or places to buy?

ABit makes a SlotKet3 adapter. Axion sells one which seems to be the right one. Here is the right page. Take a look around. Maybe one is the right one. Sorry I did not include this page before. I just ran a search that time and must have missed it in the hurry. Hope it helps.

Well, the short answer is: IMHO, no. It will take immense luck to have a NB that can get to 110 stably (due to internal timing issues), so there is no need and it won't help. It's simply better to overclock with the multiplier, because the VIA chips don't take FSB overclocking well as...

Good point above. The actual speed increase is not exactly linear with the clock. As to the Celeron, I don't think they make a 533 celeron secc 2v. The slotket here may help. It has adjustable vcore and can support a coppermine. I don't know whether it will help. I own a celeron ppga, so I have...
