Old SCSI card

a_pagliano
I am just switched to Windows 2000. On my system I have an old Adaptec 1505 ISA SCSI Card. On my bios I reserved the IRQ11 to the ISA slot and the card in WinMe is working perfectly. Windows 2000 instead ignored completly the setup of the Bios and is using the IRQ11 for the soundblaster Live.

ECC RAM

INFERNO2000
I got a stick of 128 mb PC100 CL3 ECC ram today for free. What can I use it in? my CUSL2 probably doesn't use ECC. my A7V133 is using Mushkin at 133mhz, so I won't tarnish its good name with no-name memory.

Zone Alarm and XP?

NaughtyNu
Tried using it, saying it didn't work is an understatement. The system rebooted as soon as it loaded it up. Had to go into safemode and remove all the registry bits manually since it never fully finished the install.

SB Live Platinum for bargain price...

Bursar
I've seen the SB Live Platinum 5. 1 Retail at most websites for about £123 UK. However, one site has it for £58 inc VAT. Now I reckon this is a bargain, and I want to order it before they realise and put the price up.

Flickering and crashes on VIA and Geforce2 GTS

The Viper
Hi I'm read in some of the posts, that some of your have the same problem that I have. That is my 3D games won't work. The image flickers and the computer hangs, when I try to leave the game. Same thing happens, if I test AGP in DXDIAG.

Driver (VIA and GeForce)

tear
Have you installed any VIA Drivers on you XP systems. I just installed XP and it runs great. Should I install VIA 4in1 or is that a bad idea? What drivers do you use with you GeForce cards? I'm running 7.

Whistler Beta lets MS technician connect

Dirty Harry
How about this cool feature in XP (beta). Anybody heard of this ? If ANY error occurs while the OS is running, the OS connects your internet connection and sets up an IP logging session with the main MS server.
