RavishingRocket

I currently have a 300watt on a P3 500mhz and 256mb ram. Im gettin a new mobo and a AMD XP 1900+ and 512mb ram, and was wondering if my current power supply could handle the new hardware or should i move up to a 400watt.

RAID Questions.

cyberguru

Im probably going to get a motherboard with RAID 0/1 capabilities and I was readin some of the stuff about it in the mobo Manual. It said in there that the RAID volumes will be the size of the smallest disk and that any space left on a larger would be unusable.

Best AMD Motherboard?

CyberGenX

Got MSI's new KT333 Ultra with PC2700 333MHz DDR last month and I love its speed and stability. Hasn't crashed on me once and everything worked right out of the box! I just wanted to know who you think makes the best AMD based motherboard.

Hi, I just installed C&C Red Alert on my WINXP box and it went fine as long as it was run in Win95 compat mode, is there a piece of software that'll enable me to run things in win95 compat mode on my WIN2K box? Any URL's would be appreciated as the MS site doesn't like me

Almost all in subject. A lot of new mini-boxes have been shown at the last CeBit. I am considering taking one to recycle a PIII 1Gig and some ram sticks which are laying around and build an all-purpose box: router-firewall-lan party-take away on vacations-backup box-mobile dvd player-whatever.

Intel P4 vs. AMD XP what's the deal?

CyberGenX

I have been reading a lot about how Intel is spending big money to tell people that the + rating on AMD chips is misleading. Also I have read that they are comparing the AMD XP 2000+ to the P4 2. 2 Gig and so on.
