    VCD's on a PS2?

    I'm wondering if you can play VCD's on a Playstation 2? I made a nudy disc for a buddy of mine on a CDRW and it doesn't seem to work. I know you can play DVD's, so I thought vcd's would work as well. The disc is good, as it will play on my home DVD player. Any input guys?

    Which Motherboard should I get?

    I don't think you can totally wrong with an Asus board. However, they do tend to be very pricy, for me anyway. Now, do you currently have an NIC, decent video card and so forth? Paying a few bucks for the A7N-266 might be worth it if you are building a new system, otherwise I'd go with the...

    Window viewing properties....

    You all know how you can view the contents of a window in list form, icon form, details, etc.? Well, how can I apply this to a folder AND ALL it's subdirectories? Basically, without having to open every folder and set the properties, I want to be able to view the contents (MP3's) of all the...

    Links 2001 MSN Gaming Zone trouble with Cable/DSL router

    I don't know if this is an issue with my LinkSys Cable/DSL router or with 'Links 2001'. When I try to join a game on MSN gaming zone, upon entering Links 2001, I can see myself and the host. Nobody else. On the tee, all players are listed, but my screen keeps "waiting for remote...

    Poll: Attn: KT7A-RAID owners - You thoughts on the new 3R BIOS.....

    I've just downloaded the new 3R BIOS for my Abit KT7A-RAID. Just wondering if you all are getting the same reults. With the 3C BIOS, I could get my Athlon 1.33 to run at 1450MHz reliably (145x10). It would not POST at FSB speeds higher than 147MHz. I flashed with the 3R BIOS yesterday. I...

    KT7A-RAID Bios update

    You do need the Award flash utility. The BIOS also has the latest Highpoint BIOS embedded, so you're also flashing the HPT.

    Epox 8K7A vs Epox 8KHA Vs Asus A7M266 Vs Asus A7V266, hard to choose.

    The ALi boards are the ones that suck big time. VIA's KT266 DDR boards all have a major USB issue when boards are clocked above 140MHz FSB. The AMD 760 boards are the less problematic, it's just that you'er limited to 2 DIMM slots. The KT266 would be my first choice if it didn't have the USB...

    There is no difference between the A7V133 and the KT7A-RAID...right?

    For the most part, you are correct. The Abit does have 1 more PCI slot also shared with an ISA slot, and is missing the useless CNR slot the Asus has. I purchased this board because I had an ISA modem at the time. I run my 1.3GHz Athlon 100% stable at 1.47 (10x147) which came unlocked as...

    Need Rec for good T-Bird Motherbird

    The new Asus A7V266 should be available by summers end. Reviews are very promising. Still not gonna use the new revision of the KT266 chipset though. The Epox 8K7A is all you seem to hear about in this forum. One of the most stable & best performers, features. Uses the AMD 760 chipset...

    Stay with the 200Mhz (KT133) or upgrade to the 266Mhz (KT133A)

    The KT133 is more or less antiquated. KT133A is a better performer definatley. However, if you're gonna go with a new MB, go with a DDR. You would then have a complete MB/CPU/COOLER/MEMORY setup to sell somebody, or slap in a second machine. Here's a suggestion: MB: Epox 8K7A from NewEgg at...

    Windows 2000 problems with ABIT KT7A Raid

    I run Win2k on my Abit KT7ARAID, and I had no problem installing it. I have seen this error, but with a different file name. Try copying the entire CD to a directory on the hard drive, then running setup from there, just don't go and reformat the drive during setup. The install will take a...

    Cold boot problem with KT7A-RAID

    300 watts, AMD approved. Everything was working for the first week. I've disconnected everything from the motherboard, even the memory. And I still get that one beep. After i hit the reset switch I can run a 24 hour loop of QuakeIII. I managed to get it to boot 3 times via the power switch...

    need help for new system

    Go with a DDR board (and memory). DDR will be around longer that SDRAM, provides a boost in performance, and is the same price as PC-133. You could either go with and AMD760 based MB, (i.e. Epox 8K7A, Abit KG7...), or wait a bit for Asus to release their KT266 solution based on a new revision...

    Motherboard, which one?

    I'd go with the MSI K7T266 RAID. Several reviews I'v read on the newest revisions of the board seem to be very promising. The promise controller is one of the better ones out there. The Highpoint controller sucks! I'm in the process of building a PC for a friends buisness. Right now, the...

    Boot problem with KT7A-RAID

    I only started to have this problem after I went to clear the CMOS. I've cleared it before after BIOS upgrades, only this time I switched the jumper directly under the 3rd DIMM slot. Doh!! Ever since then, after powering it up via the power button on the case I have to hit the reset button...
