Hercules Prophet Info

MarksmanX

Can the Hercules Prophet run Nvidia reference drivers for Windows 2000? I know hercules likes to tweak their cards and might do somethings differently. I am planning on retiring the old TNT2 for a Hercules Prophet II 64DDR (Geforce 2).

Forcing AGP 1x

Sensei

Is there any way to force my Xentor 32 into AGP 1X mode without using Powerstrip? Everytime I try to use the function in Powerstrip, I get a hard lock. So, my hands are kind of tied at this point.

ASUS 6600/6800 Geforce Bios

Aegeas

There is a new version out that enables Side-band addressing for your agp. This is for win9x/NT/2k. When you run the executable you may receive an error about a vxd file. If this occurs then try flashing the card in a win9x machine.

I have a SAF 2224 burner. Just recently my burner has just stopped burning all together. I have burned many successful cd's under win2k, so I'm pretty sure it's not a compatibility issue. When I attempt a burn, my software says that it was burned successfully.
