sb128 (ct4700) + win2k => midi sounds weird

rgodart
Creative didn't release any win2k drivers for the sb128 pci model ct4700. With the wdm driver it uses a microsoft syth to play midi, but it doesn't play right, it's crackling or something like that. ANything i can do about that? Anyone tried the ct4750 drivers on a ct4700? Thanks.

GeForce3 all hype or really going to revolutionize gaming?

ThC 129
After reading some of the articles on the GF 3 it seems to be by all standards the jump in video architecture that win95 was to operating system architecture. So what do you the forum readers have to say?? God's Send or Just another piece of crap to get for $400.

XP Killer features?

Bursar
I haven't played with any of the betas, so I'm wondering what the killer features of XP are. Windows 2000 had a funky new layout, improved reliabilty and security and ofcourse Active Directory. I don't think offering a skinable OS is really going to entice people to upgrade, so there must be something else there.

Trick Add Hardware Wizard! (D-Link DSB-H3SP under Win2K Serv

JMiniman
Hi all, I've read all over the place that the Belkin F5U012 has the same chipset as the H3SP, so I should use the Belkin drivers if I want to use the D-Link product under Win2K.

Win XP & physical memory

qwerty01
This goes out to all of you that are trying out XP. I know Win2k handles memory better than 98 or NT, what I want to know is, not the server version but the personal version of XP, if XP can utilize memory above 256.
