I'm wondering if it's possible to set up 2 video cards, and ATI Xpert XL PCI and an Nvidia GeForce DDR in Windows 2000, in such a way that I can run all my windows applications on my 17 monitor(plugged into my GeForce), and have WinTV running on my 14 monitor(plugged into my Xpert).

Pioneer DVD woes....

FakeMcCoy

I recently got one of those Pioneer DVD-303S's, and I've got some weird problems. It reads DVDs just fine, but if you put in a regular cd, it goes into spasms of some type, and takes about 10 secs to get any response from it.

Possible Fix to W2k VIA KX133 and Geforce woes!

evil Homer

Hi all. . . I found a possible fix on another hardware forum, so I thought I'd post a link here for the fix. MS have updated their Product Support page with a fix for the Athlon/VIA/Geforce/Win2k hanging problem with the AGP driver.

I'm trying to find a hole saw that will cut through metal, 120mm (for a fan). Does anyone here know of a place(online perhaps) that might be able to help me? The highest anyone around here has is for an 80mm fan.

I just bought a stick of PC133 RAM by mushkin (256MB PC133 Athlon Tested) (Address is : ) It doesn't explicitly say CAS 3. . . but since it's not REV2, I assume it to be CAS 3. I've heard of this memory easily going to CAS 2.
