Compaq branded 39160: OK to flash with non-Comapq BIOS?

Ron_Jeremy

I was wondering if it's ok to use Adaptec's BIOS to flash a Compaq branded Adaptec 39160? I noticed the card's configuration gui is different from my other Adaptec card (29160). I am worried that there may be some sort of Compaq proprietary tricks embedded into the adapter, & flashing with a non Compaq BIOS may ren ...

Palos

I was thinking of buying this card, as an upgrade from my actual GF2-MX400. I heard it's a very good gfx card on paper, but it's haunted by badly written drivers. Does anyone have any experience with it?.

Slows down while moving big files

Gambler FEX online

It seems XPs HD cache is set too high, so whenever I move big files or scans the HDs for virus, the system loses a lot of performance. It pages all the background programs and uses the memory for file cache? For instance while norton antivirus scans my drive, every time a maximize a program back up again it's very ...

CHKDISK running everytime PC starts up (WinXP Pro)

Kaiser

Hi all, I installed the trial version of Diskeeper 7 the other day, but when I tried to defrag the drive, it advised me to first check the drive for errors - when I tried to do this I got a message saying that it would have to be done after restarting the system.

Windows ME -> Windows 2K upgrade

mthaler

I am sure this has been asked before, but can't seem to find the info through searching. According to MS you can't upgrade Windows ME to Windows 2000, but I thought perhaps somebody has come up with a workaround besides doing a clean install, and therefore having to re-install all the other applications.

crash with medal of honor

I just installed medal of honor. During the game the screen just freezes and I need to reset the machine manually. I have tried runing the game in a lower resolution with no change. Running in safe mode also makes no difference.
