    2000 pro opens folder on startup

    I have a 2000 pro machine that runs great. 1000 flip chip on an Asus board, clocked at 1200. Arguably it's the most reliable and best performing machine I've ever put toghether for myself. One thing drives me NUTS! On bootup it always opens a folder on the hard drive. Same folder every...

    Microsoft Optical Rodents

    The mouse pad I'm using is a solid blue colored one with textture like cloth or felt or something. It's one of those ones you get for 5.99 and has the wrist pad built in. I have tried the thing on other surfaces though and had the same results. The drivers I am using are NOT the ones on the...

    Microsoft Optical Rodents

    Has anybody figured out the heck to get these things to work without the cursor jumping around? They have been out for a long time now, and still the only references I can find in the Microsoft KB are few/far between. When at rest, the cursor moves around a lot. At times it makes it hard to...

    How do you know a 75gxp is dead?

    Quick go to IBM's website and download their DFT - Drive Fitness Test. Then you have the ammo you need in order to RMA that drive.

    What the #%@& is Bonzai Buddy and why does it keep showing up?

    Bonzai Buddy is a little jerk that is actually spyware. Somebody using your computer fell for one of their thousands of banner ads that say "You have 1 message waiting for you!" that flashes ten times a second. When you see that ad, just scroll your screen down a tab or two so that the ad is...

    What is best M/B for Ocing PIII 700 (slot1)?

    Use the BF-6 - it is the logical upgrade for you as far as I know. That's what I did on my last machine ... though it has been a while ago, admittedly.

    Chipset Drivers for Asus board

    I am using an Asus TUSL2-C board (815 chipset) and a P3-1G chip (o/c to 1200 for what that's worth) and windows 2000 Pro. The machine was put together new in November or so, and runs great. Very, VERY stable and no OS issues at all. I'm quite satisfied with the machine et al, but for a single...

    P3 1000 Clocking

    I'm using an Asus TUSL2-C board, and a Pentium 3 1G flip chip. It's using an IBM 7200 RPM drive and 512MB of Micron Ram (133) Great machine so far and solid as a rock. I wanna go faster ;-)) I've run the board up to 1200 at times, and upped the core V to 1.8 from 1.75 but had mixed...

    Intel 815 Chipset

    I'm using an ASUS board (TUSL2-C) and the CPU is just a P3 1.0G The machine has 512MB of Crucial RAM and an IBM 60G 7200 drive so it runs OK (WIn2000 Pro) but I'm thinking about overclocking it a bit. I'm used to ABIT's "soft Menu" which seems to have lots more options for OC'ing than this...
