    What is the max hard drive size with this FIC Slot A board?

    I'm a girl and i know how to play Counter-Strike.

    ahhh counterstrike...some people are just too obsessed with it. A friend of mine has a roomate in college who never talks to him, because he is constantly playing CS. He plays it until 3 in the morning every night. He gets completely upset whenever my friend wants to listen to music or...

    Which DVD drive is better?

    OK, the only use for the DVD aspect of a DVD-ROM is to play DVDs. For this, you only need 1x and somekind of decoder, hardware of software. If your computer is fast, you can easily use software and save some money (or in my case just use an ATI radeon card with built in decoding). After this...

    RAID 2k lockup

    if you have a via chipset, you sandra score will probably be lower than what is shown because via is incompetent with PCI latency (as well as USB, but that's another story). The test does stress your drives, which could easily cause a lockup. I myself had considerably problems with 60GXP...

    If RAM trends keep up we'll be able to get 16MB of CAS4 PC66 for 100 Billion Dollars soon!

    GeForce3 ti200 giving TERRIBLE performance

    I assume you have tweaked everything in the bios 4x AGP, fastwrites, whatever. Sounds like your card may be a dud. Maybe borrow another gforce3 card from a friend and see if you experience the same problems.

    Two easy questions.

    There is a program that will check what version you have, but I dont remember what its called. You may find it somewhere at www.viaarena.com. As for uninstalling them, I'm not sure why you want to do this as the drivers greatly improve performance and stability.

    Restoring Windows Registry

    Hey everyone, I was dumb and went messing with my registry in Win2k, and now it's really messed up. At first my computer would crash 2 seconds after booting into windows, but i was able to fix that problem by running the emergency rescue util on the CD. Now, I am getting all kinds of errors...

    How do I get NTFS support in linux?

    Thanks for all the info everyone...it seems like accessing ntfs from linux is buggy at best, so I think I'll wait a bit on this one until it gets a little better. :)

    How do I get NTFS support in linux?

    I have a Win2k - Linux dual boot, and of course I use NTFS with Win2k which Red hat does not seem to support. Furthermore, win2k does not support the ext3 fs. 1) How can I add NTFS support to linux (Red Hat 7.2)? 2) How can I get windows to see files on my linux partition?
