Spent yesterday building a new box (KT7-RAID/1GHz Tbird/Crucial 256M CAS2/Elsa Gladiac GF2/(1) IBM 45G 75GXP/Intel Pro100 NIC/SBLive/Enermax 430W Athlon approved PS and installing Win98SE, the machine is doing a couple of odd things and I'm not sure if they're BIOS or driver related or what. I...

Great Deal Mr. Rizzo! Have a base station to trade for an extra handset (inc. charger & ps) Base station is new, never used and includes DA202 base station, desk stand, base power supply USB cable & phone cords, unopened software package including manual & CD. Or can trade the whole...

Local OD had WD 15G 7200 drives marked down from 149 to 99, with $30 rebate sticker on pkg. They spent 2 days looking for the rebate form, which they couldn't find, then wouldn't knock the 30 off anyway (and I had the extra 10 off 50 coupon waiting to throw on top of it), not the best deal in...

@home can be very quick, but their tech support is dreadful, 1st level techs in Colorado think 2nd level techs in (Oregon or Redwood City) don't know what they're talking about and vice-versa. Some of the techs like to F*&# with your registry. Mail servers are flaky, and are typically down...

Help! Having a bit of a problem with Outlook Express (5.00.2314.1300), was getting ready to backup files for transfer to a new machine, and am able to see only the past 2 days messages in the inbox (sent mesages are still there, and didn't fiddle with any OE settings. The laptop on which this...

Excellent info, many thanks! Looks like the Geforce will get the nod, any suggestions on which Geforce type and vendor has the best base boards for mods? (GTS/Pro/Ultra; Hercules, Elsa, Creative, etc.)

Confirm the Valentine 1 as the best out there, only available direct but worth it. remote display is also a nice addition. warnings are a good 1/2 mile ahead of other units, plus directional display lets you know where the source is. highly recommended

Interesting thread, am trying to selecta vid card for new system (TBird 1GHz/KT7-Raid running CAD and general apps). Was leaning towards the GeForce2 GTS (32/64, Pro, Ultra - not sure which, advice is welcome) partially due to the good reviews and the mod to convert to a Quadro2. This thread and...

For the sound card ordered an SBLive! oem, so the video card remains the only question mark, am leaning towards the GeForce2, although some of the comments I've read on image quality have me thinking about a Radeon or ATI G400max. Will be using with a Nokia 446Xpro 19" monitor (probably no...

Had heard some problems with the SBLive with the rest of this hardware, the Santa Cruz and the new Philips Acoustic Edge look interesting, has anyone used them with similar hardware and win2000?

Ouch! will have to check and see about return policies, figured with all the good reviews that the Abit kt7 would be a good bet (and the prospect of nice fast raid 0 HD's clinched it) Kind of surprised that they've gotten such good marks if their QC is that suspect. Hadn't intended to OC or...

the Abit is on it's way, had read a lot of good things about it (including Anand's review). Is there a problem with the board itself, or just when running Win2K?

Building a new Win2k box and am trying to get the best stability (& ease of install / lack of conflicts) and am trying to figure out which parts you all think will give me the best shot at it Here's what I have on order so far: Abit KT7-RAID Athlon Tbird 1GHz (Taisol HS/fan) Plextor...
