Any ideas THANKS GUYS! This problem is only isolated only with the HP8100 only correct? If the Burned CD cannot be perfectly read by the other CD-ROM drives, than this is definately a Firmware and ASPI problem. Go to the HP site for updates and are you using a SCSI card for the burner or a EIDE interface? If you are using SCSI card makesure you get the new Windows 2000 drivers from adaptec ( if it is an adaptec card ) If this doesn't work after you update or if there isn't an update available then continue to use 98 till an update is available If this doesn't help let us know about it. ------------------ Supermicro P6DBE Rev 3.0 Motherboard Dual Intel Pentium III 850 512 MEGS of ECC RAM Sound Blaster Live!

What is you AGP aperture set at? Did you defrag you drive in Windows 2000? Did you install Half-Life in Windows 2000? Are you using the newest drivers?

Yes PC-133 RAM will work with the Tyan Tiger 100 Revision F motherboards. I cannot speak for the older revisions but it will work with Revision F. I have never tried over clocking the CPU yet because Windows 2000 doesn’t like over clocked system much. From what I have read here it’s a mix bunch. Some have total success with their over clocked system in Windows 2000 while others have not. Just remember, you could blow that $3000 + system if you do something wrong and the warrantee does not cover over clocked systems. ------------------ Supermicro P6DBE Rev 3.0 Motherboard Dual Intel Pentium III 850 512 MEGS of ECC RAM Sound Blaster Live!

So.. what soundcard should I get? anyway.. i've thought of getting this.. " Tyan Thunder 2400 "... seems good from my point of view... just that it only supports PC100 SDRAM. Anyways, recommendations? I would recommending waiting till the end of 2000. If you MUST upgrade then I would go with the BX line because they have never failed me yet. I did try the i840 chipsets. Nothing but a pure dissapointment! The RAM must be RAMBUS or you won't get 100% compatibility with PC-100 or PC-133 RAM. But for my situation I had to upgrade. So I got the Supermico P6DBE( http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/440BX/p6dbe.htm ). Also the Tyan Tiger 100 ( http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tiger100_p.html ) is good also.

That FPS score is decent but not great. You should aim for around the 90s+ fps scores though. You should consider upgrading your video card if you want more FPS. Nvidia DDR based cards are excellent for OpenGL games. ------------------ Supermicro P6DBE Rev 3.0 Motherboard Dual Intel Pentium III 850 512 MEGS of ECC RAM Sound Blaster Live!

I installed Final Fantasy VIII on Windows 2000. IT installs fine But the game won't run without EAX.DLL file in my WINNT\SYSTEM folder. I did get the updated patch but that didn't help. They have the unified EAX drivers but it always executed an error. I need some help If you one of you guys could upload it to me (marksmanX@hotmail.com) I would love it Thanks for the help!

Can the Hercules Prophet run Nvidia reference drivers for Windows 2000? I know hercules likes to tweak their cards and might do somethings differently. I am planning on retiring the old TNT2 for a Hercules Prophet II 64DDR (Geforce 2). I just want to see if anyone has been having trouble with it. Thanks

Quote: Originally posted by HarU: There are two things i can think of. First, make sure that the card is in PCI slot 1, because it uses bustmastering. Isn't all PCI slots busmastering enabled?

seta r_ignorehwgamma 1 seta r_gamma 1.2 That's pretty much it. You should adjust the gamma to your liking. I like mine at 1.2

You have to disable Used Optimized Video display under the Performance tab.

For me it runs terribly slow I have a Ultra 160 SCSI drive. When I went NTFS it takes longer to load apps and it is much much louder. I did give it a straight week though For games It took alittle longer to load. FAT32 is fast for games on my system. You should try both and see what suits your needs.

Is there IP sharing in Windows 2000? I remember 98SE having that option. I can't seem to find it in Windows 2000. I only have two PCs running. Just wondering if there is anyway to enable this thanks guys

My problem happened once I installed the new HD and made it my primary. I formated my old drive and made it my secondary. I reinstalled windows 2000 and installed the new 3.81 drivers from Nvidia ( the frame increase in Quake based games is AMAZING! ) and everything worked fine. Today when I executed Quake2 it just leaves me in a grey screen. I run the task manager and it says Quake 2 is running and by the looks of it the second CPU is indeed being used by Quake 2. So I uninstalled Quake 2 and totally cleaned the directory ( deleted ). I did a fresh install and the problem surfaced again. Any advice would help guys. I really need Quake2 running again Thanks ------------------ Dual Intel Pentium III 750 384 MEGS of PC-100 RAM Sound Blaster Live!

Hi guys I have just got my two 750E processors today. Now I jave to remove my old 450s. Will I have to do a system format because I have added a new CPU and NT ( Windows 2000 ) will operate correctly? I have heard people swapping CPUs with no problems, but Windows 2000 I am no so sure about. Thanks guys

TLDTMS they are old Pentium II 450s not the Xenons sorry YuppieScum, wouldn't Windows 2000 autodetect the change and install the modification by itself?

If you need something ASAP get the TNT2 line of video cards, they don't cost that much. But if you can bite the bullet for a few more months the NV 15 will be out

There was a release of them one week after Windows 2000 came out. But these are the only drivers I could find that will work with NT 4.0 or higher (NT 5.0) http://www.3dfxgamers.com/view.asp?IOID=42 also the new miniGL might help. http://www.3dfxgamers.com/view.asp?IOID=34 Hope this helps. Banshee will not run Quake 3 well. Just letting you know now.

Upgrade hehehe Try the beta drivers are the www.3dfx.com site and you might have some success.

Go to http://www.macromedia.com and autoinstall it.

Oh yeah! Not everyone is from the US Sorry about that

You're not a moron You just don't fully understand Windows 2000 yet When I first got RC1 I did something similar These guys helped me a lot! It's a plus I am learning and helping at the sametime. So contribute to the cause.
