High CPU Util at idle?

Spicoli

After feeling secure w/ build 2031, I put build 2072 on my dual PII 400, ASUS P2B-D system. Now I have abnormally high CPU utilization numbers just sitting idle. Has anyone seen this or know how to fix it? I'm not using DHCP, no modem, sound, just a nic card, nothing fancy.

3Com 3c503 NIC in Win2000?

DCowern

Hi~ The NIC in my PC is an older ISA model from 3Com (3c503) and it is not detected automatically by Windows 2000 (build 2114). I checked their website, and not only are there no Win2k drivers available for my card, e-mail support is non-existant.

Sorry to post in this forum, but I didn't see any place else to put it. Does anyone know exactly (or roughly) when Beta 3 expires? I know there are later builds but I don't have access to them.

Matrox G400 drivers?

YuppieScum

Someone has posted in the hardware compatability list that the G400 works under build 2031. So two questions: 1. Where do I get the bloody drivers? 2. Does it work under 2072? If someone can answer (1), I'll answer (2) myself.

Scanjet 5p + symbios 53416 SCSI + w2k = BSOD

JohnS

BSOD = Blue screen of death I've got a HP Scanjet 5p that came bundled with a symbios 53416 ISA SCSI card. Unfortunately I get the BSOD on boot up of w2k with the SCSI card plugged in. I don't suppose anyone has got these two working, or could maybe recommend a cheap SCSI card as an alternative? Regards John.
