Internet Gaming Modem driver for Win2000

Cheese Weasel
Does anyone know if 3Com has released a W2K driver for their Gaming Modem? If it's on their site somewhere, I sure as hell can't find it. I'm trying to track down every last bit of W2K-specific software for my PC before I make the switch, but this last driver eludes me.

Windows 2000 Professional BSOD

CycloCide
I'm running Windows 2000 Professional, and for the last two weeks my computer has been randomly crashing with the BSOD error message DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Any idea what could be causing this? Microsoft's Support Knowledge Base doesn't have any information on it.

Dual Processor Option

INFERNO2000
I've got a few bucks to spare(about $60), so I've thought about setting up a VERY LOW END SMP PC. What I need to know is the lowest processor I can set up an SMP with. . . namely, can I do it with Pentium I's, which I can get for about $5 a piece, or do I have to go to Pentium II(which will of course cost more).

Upgrade Help?

g00ner
Greets all, I am currently running a dual PIII 500 rig with 512mb and a Voodoo 3 through Win2K. Everything is running well, but I quite fancy getting a V5 5500 and seeing the FSAA in all it's glory. But is my setup powerfull enough to run 4x FSAA in 800x600 or am I wasting my money? Any help/info would be appreciative.
