ALi 1541/1543 IDE failures and long timeouts...

Draxar
Okay I got a cheap motherboard (I really needed one cheap and fast) It's got the IDE chipset ALi 1541/1543 (1541 is more likely since LiNUX reports this) At the Windows 2K startup, there's an infamous timout (about 30-45 seconds) caused by the IDE when I'm activating DMA mode.

VIA Chipsets in Win95,98,200

tsonta100
For everyone using a motherboard with a VIA chipset: go to and download the new All-In-One v4. 22 driver and the AGP patch. It makes almost all games happy in Win2000 (almost). It definately solves crashes and wierd graphics.

NVidia drivers and stability

ByronT
Hello all. It's been a while since I've been here. . . (been just a little busy - I got married!) Anyway, I thought I throw in my two cents concerning NVidia drivers. Now, I'm a business user mainly so I'm not applying every NVidia Detonator release that just happens to be found on the internet.
