    You are looking for a file named NUSB 3.3. It is the unofficial updated usb drivers for windows 98. Just google it.

    Am I losing interest in video games?

    I think it is a combination of not enough time/nothing catching my interest enough to make the time for games. But then again I'm still playing games like MechWarrior IV:Mercs, Freespace 2, UT2k4, etc. so I could just be living in a cave or something.

    Matrox Millenium g200 vs. Voodoo Banshee

    All that this box will be doing is websurfing and playing old games. I was just wanting to see if the Banshee was even worth bothering with.

    Matrox Millenium g200 vs. Voodoo Banshee

    I have an old PC that I'm fixing up out of spare parts for my in-laws. Right now it has a Matrox Millenium G200 AGP card in it. I have a Voodoo Banshee laying around doing nothing. So, which one is better?

    Critique my budget AM2 build.

    I'm putting together a new system to replace my S754 system. Right now I am running a s754 3000+ Newcastle OC'd to 2.4 ghz on a nForce 3 board with a 9800pro.

    Best Socket 754 AGP OC Board

    I was able to have VCore adjustments on my VNF3-250 with a 2600+ Sempron. It was either the version 3.0 or 4.0 BIOS that would allow it. (Pretty sure it was 4.0)

    Socket 754 still a fast upgrade? Or something else?

    I don't think Socket 754 is quite done yet, there is a Venice core 754 out now that I'd like to try out on my Vnf3-250 board. Chaintech Vnf3-250 $58.00 S754 Venice 3000+ $139.00 or Sempron 754 2800+ $75.50
