I know this topic comes up way too often in the forum, but I need some clarification and some questions answered. I am planning on running a triple boot system consisting of Win98, Win2k Pro, and Linux (Redhat or Debian). I've read all the threads about triple booting, including SUOrangeman's...

I'm trying to establish a terminal connection to a Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris through a direct serial connection with a pass through cable. Unfortunately, the terminal emulator I'm using is not able to open the port. Everything works fine while running Win9x, but NT seems to have problems...

My understanding is that only CHRP-based (Common Harware Reference Platform) PPC motherboards were able to run NT. I would be very surprised if you were able to get it to work on a 7100. Besides, I'm not even sure you can flash the BIOS on a mac... I believe all problems were/are fixed via...

I figured it's probably the drivers. I did a clean reinstall, but since the comp doesn'y have a modem and I'm on a slow dialup for the next few weeks while I'm away from school, I thought I'd see if there were any problems and if there was a preferred/recommended slot for soundcards. Thanks...

Just received my K7T Pro2-A to replace my Abit KT7-RAID and I while it is more stable than the Abit board, I occasionally experience lockups where the mouse will freeze, the keyboard becomes unresponsive, and sound just loops. Isn't that characteristic of a souncard issue? I'm currently using...

I'm attempting to reinstall Win98SE on a Dell. I format the drive, run through the installation, but on the second reboot, I receive the message that "vmm32.vxd is either missing or unreadble". I am able to boot into safe mode and the file is there. I've also attempted to replace...

I'm looking to buy a Firewire PCMCIA card and CDRW drive for my Dell Inspiron Laptop since USB is slow and firewire seems to have more advantages over SCSI. So what is the best Firewire PCMCIA card and what is the best Firewire CDRW? I've been looking at Newer's Firewire 2 Go PCMCIA card and...

I'm looking to purchase a CDRW for my Dell Inspiron 5000 Laptop and would like some recommendations. What's the best option for me? I could go with a USB burner but prefer not to because USB burners are slow and unreliable. Is there a drive bay CDRW module for the Inspirion 5000 or will I...

I've always found that the people who trash the mac are the people that are completely ignorant of the platform and have never really used one. I use both Macs and PCs (Yes, built and overclocked numerous PCs) and will choose a Mac over a PC any day. Macs are so much more elegant and...
