ATI Xpert@Play98?

Raziel

Ok, so I have 2 computers at home right now, and one of them is running Win2k flawlessly, but I dislike networking between Win2k and Win98, which is running on my other box. I was wondering if drivers for the Xpert@Play98 were made for Win2k? Attached to the Xpert@play98 is an old, and I mean OLD ATI TV Tuner card.

Error with games that require 16 bit display.

CanR1

I'm running W2k IBM MPRO 1. 5 with ATI FireGL 2. It does not allow a 16 bit display only 32. Is there a way to get around this? I'm having problems with such games as Max Payne, Rogue Spear, NOFL Forever.

Has anyone tried the Athlon XP on a Abit KT7A mobo revision

imtim83

Wondering if you got it to work and if SSE was enabled. I see that people with Asus A7V 133 with older revisions which don't suppose to support the Athlon XP are working on them with SSE enabled. I was thinking maybe it would be possible on the older revisions of the Abit KT7A or one with raid mobos too.

Could someone please tell me how I can convert an 80gig hard-drive to FAT32 from NTFS, without formatting it. I have tried partition magic, but it won't allow me to convert a hard drive of that size.
