Real preliminary stuff. . . . but I've only had a chance to run 3DMark2001 + Giants since I got everything up and running. As was mentioned in another thread, the SB Live! (5. 1) didn't quite work right when I used the standard Win2k drivers.

COmpat. Question about old SCSI Card.

Sparkhard

I recently came across an old Adaptec ISA SCSI card (AHA 1522A) And windows 2000 doesn't seem to have the drivers for it. On the adaptec website they show that for NT 4. 0 users that the Drivers are in the OS.

Preview Program

RussellWild

Dear Group: I'm thinking of getting Windows XP on the Preview Program over here in the UK, as this machine isn't needed for any serious work at the moment and so it should be safe to do so. I do not know a lot about the differences between the various XP builds.

Abit KT7E is just KT7A in disguise?

tylau

What exactly is the difference between these tow seemingly identical mobos from ABIT, which they share the same layout, same BIOS and versions, same manual, allegedly the same VIA KT133A chipset. Thanks.

I have a Abit KA7-100 (the one with the raid) and I have a problem. After so many hours of use, XP (builds 2481 and 2485 btw) will make the hd grind and then it sounds like it's posting and then it locks up.
