    riva tnt... does it suck that bad?

    I used to have a Diamond Viper v550 (tnt first generation) running on my p2 400, and it ran at 1024x768x16 just fine. Be aware that a decent amount of ram can also help performance in CS, especially at the lower amounts.

    Poor Hard Drive performance --> PIO Mode

    Ah forgot to mention I'm using Windows XP Pro, and it's a VIA chipset. [edit] Well well.. I installed the IDE performance drivers and it bumped up from 3mb/sec to around 40, I guess it's all fixed. For once, a quick fix!

    I just tried booting the setup from the cdrom, it starts up and loads all the files that the boot disks do, then when i press ENTER to continu with the setup it displays a (gasp) new error.. 0x000000BE with ntfs.sys.

    Can't install any Windows OS --> see inside

    Well, I took out the modem sound card and NIC, and actually had the installation going through, at one point it locked up though and I figured I'd try it from scratch. Now it comes up with a Stop error 0x00000024 with ntfs.sys (versus a 0x00000050 error before) I looked the error code up and...

    Can't install any Windows OS --> see inside

    Ah, I didn't know that about W95.. well, I learnt something :) I haven't tried with Windows 98, I'll give it a spin but I don't know if it'll work as Win2k and WinXP didn't. Could it be a problem with my ram?

    ~~~~ How Do I? ~~~~

    Strange question I suppose, I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how to get the things that only ship to the USA, to Canada without it making the price jump too much higher?
