I am looking for an upgrade, i first decided on a intel 866 with Asus CUSL2 Mobo, now i am thinking of a Athlon 1/1.1Ghz with an Asus A7V Mobo as this will give me the best performance for my money. Does anyone have any this athlon system as i have heard of problems with athlons, i will be running win2k. thanks in advance. Also on some pages of Asus's site it says 550-1+Ghz then some say 550-1Ghz anybody running a 1.1Ghz in this mobo, if not anyone know if it is possible.

well first off i would say dont get the asus get the Abit KT7-RAID this is a better board as it has more features such as RAID and softmenu support for cpu speed etc. Also i would suggest - if ur machine is gonna be a gaming box - to buy a duron - the speed incrase is not actually that great and the durons are much more overclockable eg a 800 duron will easily hit 1 gig and could hit 1.3 Gig with some mega big a$$ cooling system

FYI,
I've got a hollywood plus and Creative 6x DVD Encore, which I've as yet been unable to get to work under win2k. I've tried all the beta drivers for the hollywood plus to no avail. Both work fine under Win98.

yeah, this card has been working with the beta win2k drivers (creative) but they are cr*p, lip sync probs etc, and couldn't get the sigma design drivers to work. Its just sitting in my machine doing nothing.

thats why you don't buy from creative. They only make good soundcards but their support is worse than anything. I usually just buy generic OEM hardware because it works better with the manufacturers drivers.

Can anyone tell me the steps to get the sigma drivers and app to work with win2k on a dxr3. Thanks
