P2B-D Hardware rework

Aragorn
I have the Asus P2B-D Motherboard. I have to contact Asus to do a hardware rework. But I have no adresse or phone number from asus-france (I live in France). The Alternate solution involves removing ACPI drivers and installing APM drivers instead.

Printing problems...

Nimos
Under Win2K (using the HP's drivers)my HP Deskjet 840C prints only if the quality setting is at draft (worst quality, fast), any other setting and the printer rolls out a blank page. Under Win98 the printer has no problems at all.

Help with Win2K and TNT 770 Ultra

hunch
Well, I made the mistake of applying the compatibility upgrade to Win 2K and I lost all 3d in my games. I am not sure that this is the reason that I lost 3d, but the timing is perfect. Now all games either state that no 3d hardware is found, or they run in software rendered mode.

AGP 2x, why can't I get it??

BladeRunner
Hello People, Running a Matrox G400 MAX on a ABit BE6-II Mobo. Both the video card & Mobo are quite capable of running in AGP 2x mode. Ran PowerStrip. It reports that I'm running in 1x mode. Try to make the change here, warns me, I do it, hard lock.

What Bus Speeds does the ABIT BE6-2 Support?

Battleship
I am thinking of getting one of these suckers to do some serious overclocking. I have a celeron 433 now running at 541 (83 Mhz bus) on a BE6. Problem is next bus speed up is 100 Mhz and it will not make that jump.
