XP pre-RC1 upgrade to RC1

dacris

I just wanna know if it's ok to upgrade an older pre-RC1 build of XP to RC1. I heard that it's not recommended, but how bad can such an upgrade really be?? I don't feel like starting from scratch all over again and I would like to upgrade to the RTM from RC1/2 if possible, not do a clean install again.

Napster alternatives...

Brian Frank

I haven't been much for Napster in its use, but now that the napster alternatives are out, I've become addicted to Morpheus. I'd tried one of the Guntella programs, Bear Share, but I couldn't d/l anything.

Abit ST6-RAID

rolsen

Anyone got any opinions on the Abit ST6-RAID? I'm looking at upgrading, and it seems to have some sweet features. One thing that was slightly disapointing was that the maximum amount of ram is only 512MB.

Win2k Setup won't let me install!

ODiN

I am trying to setup Windows 2000 on an Intergraph machine that was previously running NT Workstation. I am able to get to the screen that allows you to modify/create partitions, but it states that my hard disk is new or has been erased, or that the computer is running an OS that is incompatible with Windows 2000.

AMD 760MP chipset...

Brian Frank

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about the 760MP chipset, now that Tyan's is out and MSI/Microstar has one on the way. I'm gonna say it looks cool, but also take it with a grain of salt. This is AMD's first SMP chipset, so it would be wise to remeber that the first try is not always the best.

I'm at a bit of a loss. UT and Quake 3, I only play at LANS. I'm SICK OF HL and all mods. I'm too good at Tribes2(that or everyone else just sucks), and find no enjoyment in scoring 90% of the flag captures.

Unable to run UT in w2k_sp2

o0RaidR0o

I have installed UT both off the cdrom and hdd and still cannot run UT. I can go as far as running the initial setup to detect my hardware but when I hit run I get memory errors or link errors. I've also tried patching UT before running the setup for hardware right after installing UT and I get a botpack.
