Shouldn't the real question be, what have you got for a graphics card? That would determine for me which board I would use. If you are buying a new card the PCI without a doubt. If you already have a spendy AGP card and you aren't ready to fork over the $$ for a new card, then AGP. OG

I have two burners and using DVD Decrypter I can start the software and burn to one drive then start another copy of the software and burn a different file (movie) to the other drive. Works like a charm. OG

$200 for a used 800XL? I just bought a new one for $265. I needed AGP and didn't need the extra horses of an XT since I only have an AMD 3000+. I know that I was shopping for that card and I would not have paid anywhere near that. OG

Very odd situation. I have not made any changes or even cracke dopen the case prior to this error. I am using an MSI Neo Plat with my AMD 3000+ Socket 939. Out of the blue while working one day my PC powers down for no apparent reason. I think I was using Excel at the time. It refused to...

I bought mine from Mwave (but not at this great price!). The Micro is a great player once you get used to the interface. The touchpad is way too sensitive in the default setting. Once you adjust the setting it's real easy to use and with 5Gb of space you can stuff a ton of music onto it...

Okay, I have searched a bit on the forum for a fix to this problem and haven't found one. I did find a workaround and so I am posting just in case anyone else is searching for help on this problem. And of course if anyone has feedback on FIXING this, that would be great too. The problem...

Okay, so I was the one that posted this. I WANTED to keep this to myself, just in case they might honor the typo for me. BUT, how could I not pass this along to y'all after all the great deals you have posted that I have taken advantage of. BTW.....I got the call too and switched to the...

I am just waiting to see SHIPPED. Then I will say BLAZING!!

Initial message updated with link Edit: you are welcome!!

Expected arrival on 10/26. Linky

The latest drivers from the internet should be just fine but make sure you get all the pieces including all the optional software. I believe you will need the disk for the DVD software but other than that I don't think you will need the CD. OG

I always use Ghost to write directly to the CD. Norton can make the first CD bootable by copying a "boot floppy image". You boot up with a floppy and it copies that floppy image to CD #1. I use this all the time. good luck, OG

I would stay away from this card if I were you. Driver support has always been spotty. I considered it for some time. But I read some reviews and comparisons that changed my mind so I ended up getting an ATI Radeon AIW (now known as the Radeon 7200). I took a quick glance at eBay and...

If you are just going to use it to capture and view on that computer then I would just use the included capture utility with the Multimedia Center software as Duvie suggests. If you are going to use it to create MPEG or other formats that you will use on different computers then I would look to...

Glad to help Bleu. Don't knock yourself too hard. Like I said in my post, I did the same thing. Image quality went down, computer slowed down. Had no idea what happened. Of course it was something simple! OG
