    IDE devices in SATA system

    hmm...on second thought it seems it would be easier to go with a PCI IDE controller card so i can connect using my old ribbon cables. Seems like I would have to buy a molex splitter with floppy connector to use these adapters that connect directly on back on the drive

    IDE devices in SATA system

    ok, so after doing a little searching, I found these two adapters: http://www.rosewill.com/product/product.aspx?productId=413 ^^ I'm thinking this will allow the SATA data cable to attach to my IDE device http://www.cooldrives.com/sa15poto4moa.html ^^ whereas this will allow me to use...

    IDE devices in SATA system

    i looked around the case as much as possible without removing stuff and only saw one of the old school white power cables...the other cables coming from the power supply are not the right shape (they are more cubical) i'm not smart enough to build my own cpu hence one of the reasons I'm...

    How do you do a completely fresh install of win2k?

    Hmm..one problem...My floppy doesn't work...will doing the "clean" install after win2k has loaded not do the job?

    How do you do a completely fresh install of win2k?

    I'm getting really sick of the Direct3d problems I am having and I think the only alternative I have left. How do you do a completely clean installation of win2k that will basically delete the windows directory then reinstall a new copy? I know that when you try to install win2k, it gives you...

    Direct3d Problems!

    Hi, I'm having problems with Direct3d supposedly because I deleted some unnamed 0K files in my main windows directory. Anyway, I tried a lot of thing including reinstalling directx 8, reinstalling via 4 in 1, reinstalling radeon 7020 drivers, and reinstalling games. When I run a dxsetup from a...

    Help! My Direct3d games are running in 256 color!

    I launched a dxsetup from an earlier copy of directx (I think directx 7) and it said in the box that Direct3d was not installed even though I seemingly have all the d3d drivers in my windows/system32 directory.

    Help! My Direct3d games are running in 256 color!

    Ack! Apparently I deleted some important files in the main Windows directory that my computer didn't like even though they were 0K. Anyway, now when I run games that need Direct3d, the games play in 256 colors and the colors don't even really match what colors are supposed to be used. I have...

    Are these 3DMark scores up to par?

    Well mine did, but the demos were different from the ones in the 1.17 release. Plus there were three demos total where 1.17 has two demos. I could run timedemos on demo000 and demo001 but for some reason couldn't get a timedemo for demo002 to run. Btw, I installed 1.17 and am getting better...

    Ok, here are some new numbers using 1024x768 res and 16bit demo000: 54.1 fps demo001: 43.1 fps do i need to manually delete old radeon drivers after I install new ones??

    Are these 3DMark scores up to par?

    Ok, so how do you benchmark in Q3? I know how to run demos but I don't know how to get fps readings and stuff like that to compare to other people. Unfortunately I don't have Drakan

    Are these 3DMark scores up to par?

    I'm running 3dmark at 1024x768 res 16bit with directx 8 and the 7020 Radeon drivers and I get a range of 3750-3850. Would you say this is a good score for my particular set-up. I'm also really confused why my performance drops significantly when I switch it into 32bit mode. My score drops a...

    Should I disable AGP 4x and fastwrites on this system?

    Ok, this is an issue that's really confused me. Everybody says that there is barely any noticeable performance difference between running a Radeon in 16 vs. 32-bit. However, when I play UT in 32-bit it is noticeably slower in my opinion. Much less smooth. Why would this be the case?

    Should I disable AGP 4x and fastwrites on this system?

    I installed a Radeon recently but I'm still not that impressed with performance in UT. I'm running the game at 1280 res at 16-bit but still only get an avg of 40 fps. Would disabling AGP 4x improve performance? I realize win2k drivers for Radeons suck at the moment but I still should be able...

    How do you disable Soundblaster DOS Emulation???

    By your instructions, I believe you are pointing me to the "Sound, video and game controllers" sections in the device manager right? I don't have anything there called SoundBlaster 16 or Emulation. The 3rd item I have listed is Game Port for Creative SB Live! Was there some special...

    How do you disable Soundblaster DOS Emulation???

    I've been getting random reboots and some disappointing performance from my computer and have heard this is a thing to do with sblive cards to get win2k to run better with games. Some before said you have to do this in device manager but I didn't notice anything regarding how to disable this...

    Should I get a Asus Geforce2 MX or Radeon 32MB DDR for this system??

    Do the Radeon and Geforce2 MX instantly work just by putting in the AGP slot or would I have to go through a hassle in downloading special drivers and such. In other words, are they pretty much usable right out of the box?

    Should I get a Asus Geforce2 MX or Radeon 32MB DDR for this system??

    Hi, My Voodoo3 3500 has gone nutso on me so I need to replace it and am considering these two cards, the Asus Geforce2 MX and Radeon 32MB DDR. I hear that Radeon's are better in game especially in higher resolution but that Asus has much better drivers. They are pretty close in price taking into...

    Where can I d/l full version of Nero or Adaptec Easy CD Creator?

    I recently upgraded to win2k and my older adaptec software doesn't work anymore even though I installed forceaspi. I d/l the demo of nero which works fine but there is a trial period for it. Thus, I'd appreciate any links to where I can get either of these programs. Thanks

    Floppy (A:) drive problems
