New KT133A and 266 bus...

FakeMcCoy
If the KT133A boards coming out support the 266MHz bus, does that require a special cpu that uses it, or would any Socket A do the job? Is the 200/266 deal a motherboard-only issue? I'm about to build a system with the KT133A, and I'm unsure if I need a special proc.

Overclocking Geforce 2 Ultra

Ronin
I have an Elsa Gladiac Ultra card and when I enable the coolbits feature and try to overclock the card it will not keep the settings after a reboot. Now I don't even think the overclocking feature works because I can set the memory/chip clock to the max and the card should crash and not work at all but it seems to ...

Netgear XM128 External ISDN adapter

b00
Oi, They need to print on the side of the box, PoS. The thing works like a dream in win98 as advertised, and haven't tried it in NT. So, why wouldn't it work in 2k like most things do. ERRRR wrong. Indeed, it works, but the installation is a nightmare.

Pissed off at Thrustmaster!

Mike Zamarocy
Seems that a lot of us on the Thrustmaster Tech Support Forum are quite pissed off! I have recently bought the Afterburner (stick/throttle), but many others are having problems with the steering wheels and gamepads.

Asus A7V owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian Frank
To all A7V owners: If things act funny, i. e. you cant boot from cd's, try resetting bios to the defaults. Everything shoud be ok. This saved me from taking back my mobo. .
