    GF2MX Twinview Or ATI Radeon VE dual head help me decide.

    Go with the GeForce. It's dual display is pretty much Tv-out. Ati's Dual monitor "Hydravision" is alright,but lags unbelievably in Win2k and is IMO , only useful when pumping an mpeg file out to a tv,while surfing the net on a monitor. Two monitors, will allow you to show two apps...

    Where can I find the CD key in WinME?

    Woodie's right , type regedit in the "Start" run , the do like he says to get to current version. If you scroll down you'll see the product key. IE... for Win98se, it's kr7qx-hbwtr-h83gf-qq2x7-pgjkg.. etc.. lol. for me it will look similar.

    cdrom is seen, not accessible..

    Make a boot disk and boot to it. It should load the cdd driver and ID it. If it does , try reading a cd. If it reads no problem, then the error is most likely with your o/s.

    Anyone ever have any success running 133 fsb on an i810 mobo?

    yes, actually got a win98se install to go flawlessly , but came across a lot of random errors / lockups when running apps. I read somewhere that the p3's are incompatible with the 810 and lock anyway, so i'm probably just wasting my time trying
