    For those that know me and those that don't...please read

    I would like you to know that my wife Kim has passed away after an almost 2-year battle with cancer. She passed away as peacefully as possible last night (11/8/08) after deteriorating rapidly in the past 2 weeks; she was admitted to the hospital on the night of Halloween (Friday 10/31/08)...

    .18 Thunderbird vs. the newer .13 Thoroughbred

    Well, I decided to upgrade to the Asus A7V8X LAN w/Promise RAID/Serial ATA/IEEE1394/NIC/Audio on board. Love the board after a fresh install of WinXP, I can tell it's faster and that's just a schweeeeeeeet board all the way around - I'm happy with the switch.

    .18 Thunderbird vs. the newer .13 Thoroughbred

    Maybe, maybe not. I had the same dilemma on an Iwill KA266R board and the answer was "no" to the Thoroughbred, though it works fine with the Palamino core - both 1800+ models. On one of my other boards (Iwill XP333R) it does work BUT the 1800+ registers as a 1700+ instead...I tried 2 different...

    Gots ta see HELLO to everyone...so...HELLO!!! AGN was definitely THE place to be, it's a shame what happened to it. One of the things I also remember was constantly getting beat out by golfreak himself for anything and everything worthwhile - it was almost like you couldn't believe that you...

    MSI K7T Pro2-A: OnBoard Sound Problems

    The main problem with this onboard sound is that this is software driving and it doesn't have an actual dedicated soundchip (as in hardware vs. software) onboard. This means it is totally dependent and can exhibit some serious problems in performance since anything can interfere with the...

    Help with DMP-100 mp3 player

    It won't work correctly with Me - I tried everything. Use 98SE and all your problems will dissappear like magic :D... Sorry, but there is no better answer for this one - Me sucks with the DMP100 player.

    Can't Enable DMA when using Abit KT7

    My fix was to set any CD/DVD/CDRW ROM drives to Pio Mode 4 and the hard drive to UDMA5 (ATA100). That solved the problem for me, and I used the VIA IDE Tool to do that. This is a known issue with a lot of people and I can't believe there is not much in terms of documentation on their site :(...

    New Bios K7t Pro2A

    holdencommodore, the Live Bios concept is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard - absolutely NEVER flash your BIOS that way, always do it locally so the chances that corrupt data (or simply a lost connection) will ruin your BIOS and your day ;)...just a suggestion, but a strong one. Hope you...

    msi pro 2a wont boot into windows.help!!

    If the floppy drive light stays on it most likely means that you have the floppy drive connector inserted upside down. Turn it over and it should be okay.

    dman6666 - well, I can't email you the ZIP file if you don't show an email addy :(. Anyway, if you already have the drivers, simply unzip them in a folder you can point to and you should be fine.

    LeeBear, yeah I know - I gave up my Asus P3BF for this, and that board just simply rocked!!! I already had an extra ATA100 Promise controller handy, it's just that I really don't want to do that since I bought the stupid board for the exact reason to have the ATA100 onboard :(... Well guess...

    HELP!!! Can't access bios after changing memory to 2-2-2

    There is a jumper pretty much near the bios chip that has a jumper (check your manual for the exact location) and you need to move the jumper for about 30 seconds from one to the other, and then back to the normal position. You should really consult the manual that the motherboard came with, it...

    WinMe, MSI K7T Pro2-A, and IDE Bus Master ATA100 problems (4in1)...

    So now I've been reading that tons of people have issues with the same thing I've been struggling with since I got the MSI Pro2-A. Whenever I try to install any of the IDE busmaster updates, or even the Mini-Port driver, the system runs fantastic but my CD-ROMS start screwing up...all of a...

    Me or 2000?

    << ME is very,very unstable >> While I agree that Win2k is more stable, WinMe is actually very good and fast if you know what to tweak and where. I've ran WinMe since sometime in July and never had stability problems with it - the only reason I don't run Win2k primarily is because a lot of...

    How much memory will Windows (98se) hog?

    << why would windows only report that I have 511mb of ram installed?? Thanks!! >> You must have an Intel 810 or 810E board (or something similar with the built-in graphics chipset from Intel), the 1MB will not show up because that is allocated for the graphics to use during bootup.

    Be careful with MWave.com "hot combos"!!!!

    gooseman, thanks and yes I was surprised because many people have good things to say about them. This last one with the MSI K7T Pro mobo was the last straw for me though, they made it seem like they had no responsibility towards this problem and that my options to resolve this were to simply...

    Be careful with MWave.com "hot combos"!!!!

    I've ordered twice from them and had problems BOTH times - they suck in my honest opinion. One of these situations was critical when I needed the part overnighted to me and they refused to do so. Then they charged me for the better Pro2 (instead of the Pro which was cheaper and the only one...
