    Windows 2000 Radeon Performance

    the newest DX8/etc drivers for win2k are excellent! during my Unreal T sessions I am averaging between 65 - 80 frames/sec consistently. Much better than the older drivers.

    Attn: MSI K7T Pro 2-A Owners, new user needs help.

    I have a Duron800@918, 256 MB ram, fastrack66, Radeon 32DDR, Soundblaster live Plat 5.1, a cheapo ethernet card and the latest via 4in1s. I ran into HUGE problems trying to install win98. I had to move the fastrack66 into PCI slot 1 (right under the AGP slot) and I assigned interrupts to each...

    Radeon Users: Anyone tried the new Jan 16/2001 drivers yet?

    I have a Duron 800@918/Radeon 32DDR and with the new drivers I have finally pulled Win98 off my system. Win2K only. The new drivers gave me huge increases in speed on Win2K.

    MSI K7T Pro2A and Windows ME drivers

    I have found W2K much easier to install and upkeep. With the new Radeon drivers QIII and UT are entirely playable. W98 has been hell on earth for me as far as installing (might have something to do with my RAID card) but I was get BSODs galore during the install. I have something reasonable...

    Problem: KT7Pro2-a + WinME, but my WIn2K partition freezes alot...

    I am getting spurious freezes as well in W2K and I am starting to suspect the mainboard. 98 is miss behaving for me (problems every other boot with windows protection faults). I am arriving at wits end (unfortunately, it was a short journey :)

    Help with MSI K7T Pro2A bootup is RIDICULOUSLY SLOW... is it RAID controller card? or did I mess up with the settings??

    Help with MSI K7T Pro2A bootup is RIDICULOUSLY SLOW... is it RAID controller card? or did I mess up with the settings??

    MSI K7T Pro2A + 32MB DDR Radeon = Stack Overflow? HELP ME!

    I have pretty much the same setup with no errors to speak of (except the ability of my mainboard to continue to front side bus overclock.) Nothing relating to the Radeon though.

    DON'T BUY MSI PRO2A

    One thing that I have noticed: My Duron used to run at 9.0 x 106 on my Pro2-a (and it ran for about a week.) Then, it started to crash. I have had to keep backing the FSB back to where it will only run at 9.0 x 102 now. Not sure whats going on, but I have noticed a few other posters who have...

    msi pro2-A hard drive problem...

    I have a mine set to auto auto. Mind you I only have my CDROM & LS120 on the onboard IDE controller. I am also running a Promise66 card that I boot from. On a warm boot sometimes it doesn't even find my drives, but a cold boot always brings them back. What do you have set for your three...

    MSi K7TPro2A vs Abit KT7 or SA6R RAID

    I have the MSI and its solid. Getting pretty good memory scores as well. Duron 800@963 (1.7v and 107Mhz fsb) My cooler sucks so I am pretty sure my Duron would preform solidly at 1gig with a better cooler.
