DSP-500 headphones

NotSoSmart

Anyone try these with XP yet? I looked into these when they came out and there support people said they were not going to make any Windows 2000 drivers. I just looked and there are Windows 2000 drivers or at least Windows 2000 is listed in the system requirements.

AGP Fast Writes in WinXP Pro

pmistry

WCPUID reports that AGP Fast Writes are enabled in the BIOS but disabled currently in the OS, which I don't understand why. It is enabled in the BIOS. I didn't have this problem under Windows 2000 or ME, I am using Hercules 21.

Radeon 8500, so far, so good...

Brian Frank

Welp, it's probably been easy to tell I haven't been exactly pleased with ATI in the past. Their major achilles heel, drivers, seems to be remedied for the 8500's very latest, not-yet-offically-certified, drivers for XP run smooth so far.

SB Live Under XP Pro

pmistry

I tried playing Deus Ex, and the sound wouldn't work correctly unless under DirectX Diagnostics I put the slider down to BASIC Acceleration. I am using the native XP drivers. How well does XP work with LiveWare 3 with Win2k, I have it on a backup CD? What about that 9 meg driver update over at Creative?.
