Overclocking under XP RC1...

Brian Frank
I'm just wondering how XP users have fared with oc'ing your cpu's, specifically Intel, but AMD is okay too. I got the VP6 and 900MHz was the highest I got with my brand new CPU's. Of course I haven't tried everything yet, but I'd like to know if you guys have had to throttle it back from using Win2k to XP.

XP and Divx

Hello all. I just installed Windows XP Evaluation Copy Build 2505 to check out XP. So far everything is great. Actually, I like XP better than Win2k. I have a small problem. I can't view some Divx movies and I can view some Divx movies perfectly fine.

Franknet has put up a Abit VP6 review. As you can see, the VP6 is a dual processor capable motherboard. However, it does not support ANY Celeron processors. That´s right folks, this is a Pentium III only board, so be warned.

Visual Studio, PeachTree Accounting. Can I change Apps that

Hawkman
I am an administrator in a college. We recently upgraded to NT5 and are having a few permission problems not seen in NT4. For ex: Visual Studio, PeachTree, and Quickbooks need to be installed as administrator (this is normal), but the user has to be a power user to use.
