Sweevo
Can anyone explain why my AMD K6-2 500 shows up as running at 251Mhz in both System Information and alot of other small utilities that are supposed to display the running speed.

W2k SBLive lag in sound...

Preacher
After finally installing the Liveware 3. 0 to get 4 speaker support on my SBLive, sound lags behind the action. Take UT for example. I´m dead, then I hear the shot. It´s lagging just about 1/4 second, but that timespan decided a little too often about life and death of my alter ego.

best hardware for runing games under win2k?

radx
What is the best hardware equipment for runing games under win2k? (let's asume nvidia get's their stuff working soon enough). Then, would perhapes a Dual-P3 system with a phat Geforce and loads of Ram and a phat scsi ultra wide2 disk be the best? Just curious, cuz my sys isn't even near that.

SB Live and W2K Retail

felix
I may have missed such discussion previously due to my workload - (not much time for surfing) Does the retail edition on Win2K support the SB Live natively without needing to disable PCI Steering and do the other funky stuff? - I don't suffer from insanity.

DMA66 vs DMA33

radx
Howdye peeps, What is the big deal about upgrading to DMA66 compatiable ide-controller? Especially since you nowdays usually have to change the entire motherboard to get it. Ofcause you buy an expansion card but that will occupy a free pci slot and that stinks when you need all those 5 (like me).
