NEC MultiSpin 4Xc (CDR-c302)

fgreene
I have a NEC Multispin CDR-c302 (SCSI device) that I have used with an Adaptec 2940 adapter under Win95, Win98, & WinNT. I want to move to W2k; however, W2k will not recognize the NEC. When W2k boots it loops during the recognition phase.

Geforce 4 MX 460 - Fan sensor

dilligaf1701
I bought this card yesterday - (As it was going very cheap) and is a lot better than my old gf2mx. Anyway - I noticed as I was putting it in my pc that the onboard fan has three wires. Which suggests to me that it can read the speed of the fan.

spontaneous reboot

nutsadamus
Hi all, I made the very stupid suggestion to a friend that i help build him a computer. It worked fine for 3 days and then started randomly rebooting itself. The reboot is accompanied by an audible click, as if a breaker is switching on the motherboard.

Gateway Voodoo3 1000 drivers?

Mekadave
Yes, that's correct, a Voodoo 3 1000. A friend of mine wants to upgrade her Gateway from Win98SE to Win2k, and it came with this tweaked-down Voodoo 3 that 3dfx made for Gateway way back when. Apparently Gateway doesn't offer any NT/2k/XP drivers for it, so I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any reasons w ...

Mekadave
I've read people express various opinions on VIA chipset motherboards, including the well-known issue of conflicts between the chipset and Soundblaster cards (I was under the impression that the latest VIA 4-in-1 drivers fixed this.
