Anyone played it?

Thanks, everyone. I did connect them the way the manual told me, but maybe I'll try upside-down. If that doesn't work I'll try getting replacements from Antec.

I'm on my second Antec Mid-Tower ATX case after taking the first one back to Fry's. (By the way, why does anyone go there? What a miserable experience, and their prices overall are not that great. For example, I now know I could have gotten the same case at Best Buy for $10 less, without...

I'm trying to upgrade my system from P-166 to AMD-900 without re-installing Win98SE. Never mind that I've already pretty much decided now to clean install, but I'm still curious as to what's going on. I booted in safe mode so I could replace drivers, etc., but before I can do anything, Windows...

Anybody?

Bunta.com is the only place I've seen that actually sells a network riser modem. The people who've bought it don't seem to like it, though.

Nothing.

Do I absolutely have to re-format my hard drive and start all over when I change motherboards? First of all, I don't have a tape backup, so I can't back up my system. I may go ahead and get that tape backup if you fellas recommend it, though. But what if I don't? What can happen if I just...

Do you work for AMD? Just kidding. Thanks.

OK, i noticed the previous thread discussing the Gigabyte board, so my previous question is moot. I'm now looking at the Epox 8KTA as the best choice for those of us who aren't fiendish about overclocking, and who might have legacy ISA devices we want to use. For the money it seems like a...

Anybody have one or know anything about them? I'm about to build my first system, probably with a Tbird 800 or 900. The lower cost and on-board audio are very tempting, and I've read that they're built with quality components. My current sound card is an old SB ISA, and most new boards don't...

Come on, guys. Did I ask a stupid question? I just want to know if the performance difference between the 800 and 900 is worth the price difference. I assume that the huge price jump from the 900 to the 950 and 1 Ghz is more a status/supply/demand thing than a real difference in performance...

I'm trying to decide whether to get a Thunderbird 800, 850 or 900. Is there enough of a noticeable performance leap from the 800 to the 900 to make it worth the extra 50 or 60 bucks? Where exactly do you see the real difference? Do you see real differences in 50 Mhz increments, or are there...

I installed a new Creative 56K V.90 ISA Modem Blaster w/voice and it won't work. I installed it in the same slot my old USR 28.8 ISA modem was in. My system recognizes it and installs the drivers, but when I go to dial up I get an error message saying there's an unspecified problem. It...
