Can Gforce & Matrox Millennium coexiste under win2k

sk
Yesterday I bourght a Asus Gforce with DDR ram as repacement for my not fast enough Millennium-Voodoo 2 SLI combination. Man, what a disappointment the 2D res was (I run 1600x1200 small font on a Viewsonic P815) but Quake 3 was as expected great.

Hibernation and Advansys SCSI

miguelidanez
I flashed my Abit BE6 motherboard with the new beta bios and install the new HTP366 win2k drivers v1. 23. Now, I have hibernation support, but i haven't do it, because when I try it a message says the advansys scsi card prevents for hibernation and it's possible to change the driver to work.

Changing from HPT66 to Promise?

Mike V
I am sick of this HotRod ATA66 controller. I keep getting errors in my event log, nobody knows how to resolve it. Not even Abit or Highpoint has gotten back to me. I have tried every combination of drivers and bios for the thing, and I still get these errors.
