Conflicts

Cable
Upgraded from 98 to Win2K a while back and everything was smooth. I have recently got a new PIII system with an Asus P3V Board and Win2K (fresh) installs fine but I get a conflict between my Asuscom ISDN Card and my Geforce 2 GTS.

Chthon
I've had a hell of a time trying to get DMA to work on my hard drive in Windows 2000. I know for sure that both the mobo and the hard drive support it, as my BIOS Information Screen registers Primary Master as using UDMA.

I am currently running UltraWide SCSI HD's and other devices and they are great. I want to upgrade though, and my motherboard already has ATA100 built in. . . I really want to get ultra160 adapter and harddrives as I've always been one for SCSI.
