I mean if I were reeleching software I would use the Windows95/98 error codes and blame it on MS hehe What do you call : "gamming support". Accordin to me, it don't have it ! It just have a few new components that allow some games to work properly. DirectX isn't just toplay. I'm writing programs that uses some of it's components andI think we can imagine non gamming use for each of its component. Win2k is the BEST OS I've met so far : I mean, Linux was a little bit to much for me. And if you look at Win98 vs Win2k, Win2k is solid as rock. I was used to format and reinstall Win98 every 3 weeks. Now I REBOOT every 3 weeks . Awx PS: and I can do nearly everything I want. Eachtime I switch back to Win98 (for TV-Out and DC10 capture), I crash 2 or 3 times before having the whole thing done so I wanna buy a G400(TV-Out underWin2k) and a new capture card that works under NT.

I HAVE A SOLUTION !!!!!! Why not post EVERYDAY a new Post called : "TRY THE SEARCH BUTTON FISRT". (I had similar problem on a news server (people sending posts to the wrong forum), and it's the solution we found : sending every day a new post saying : "ATTENTION : HOW TO USE THIS FORUM") But anyway, will find guyz sayin' : "Old posts are talking about TNT2 in general, but Ihave a ASUS TNT2 card. What about it ??? How can I make OGL and DD and AP and TV-Out work ????" Awx PS : on my news server, it didn't worked a lot but it helped.

And what about hiding the "Post new topic" button ? Or prevent people with less than 30 post to post a new topic ??? I WANNA KILL NEWBIE (I know I was one one day, but I don't think I was that stupid ....) Awx

Hey MarksManX, you're out-of-date. Just have a look at i820, Intel lastest chipset, and yu'll know every thing about RDRAM, and it DOES run at 800 MHz !!!!!! Here are a few link to iXBT : Intel 820 Chipset i820 - the story of one failure Direct RDRAM vs PC133: a Quick Look at the Near Future I'm just sorry to says to Mac, that his "High-End", "High-Cost" Computer would have gone as fast with a dual PIII500 and SD-RAM. Btw, Hyundai introduced 143-, 166-, 183 MHz DDR SDRAM chips and Samsung announced 266 MHz 64 Mbit SDRAM . So just forget about this RDRAM carp and go back to this Xcellent 440BX. If you had had a lookat Hardawreforum last week, you would have learned many things about CPU and Chipset future : I just waiting ONE thing : dual Athlon !!!!!!!! Awx

Do you think this is a warez board ???? I think you can find it somewhere else ..... Awx [This message has been edited by Awaxx (edited 15 February 2000).]

Can anyone scan the CD and share the pic ??? Awx

I think they do. Before having one, I had a D-Link I though that it was right enough. But one day, I bought a 3Com, and my life goes different. Faster connection, full duplex, low CPU occupation : my life became a dream. If you have a different opinion about 3Com cards or know tests results, just give it. Awx - LAN 100Mbps switched

I've send the same topic afewdays before but it wasn't the good solutoin. I explain again my problem. I've installed Adobe Illustrator 8.0, and everythingis ok. But when I wanna launch it, it says : "Adobe Illustrator can not run". I've tried installing it under a fresh new win2k install but nothing changed. I'm under Win2k french version 2195.1 no limit. I've got 5 HD, 1 IDE-FAT32 and 4 SCSI-NTFS. Illustrator is installed on IDE and Win2ks (old and fresh one) are on NTFS. Plez, if you can launch Illustrator, tell me yourconfiguration. Thks.

Just try PowerStrip, the ULTIMATE tool to tweak your screen/video card. You can overclock you card, change screen vertical freq ... Awx

So Kensan, you, sse, you'd rather buy a BX mobo. S I think the thread about dual Mobo is the one you should read. Awx

Hey, you, multiproc frek, what advice could U give me to buy a dual-Slot1 card : brand, model, ... ? I wanna buy a dual PIII500E, and overclock them so if the board is a good at it, it would be better. A friend of mine has a A-Trend 6280 : works fine but CPU positions prevent full efficient air cooling.

I can't run Illustrator. Is there's any special trouble between Win2k and Illustrator or NTFS and Illustrator ? In compatibily list, it is said that everythings is OK but each time I launch Illustrator, it says : "Illustrator can not run". I've tried installing a fresh Win2k, nothing changed. I've tried on FAT and NTFS, IDE and SCSI : nothing worked. My Illustrator is OK cos it runs on others computer. If you can see a solution, plez help.

Are you sure U wanna buy RDRAM ? - $1000 for 128 MO :-( - not so great, just read this article frim iXBT. (in this article RDRAM was 500$ but now it's $1000 for PC800 128Mo !!!!!) - i820 is a sh@t (iXBT articles : i820 - the Story of One Failure and i820 test). If you still wanna buy one of those i820 mobo : ASUS ASUS P3C-L. Supermicro no dual i820 card Tyan no i820 card Epox no i820 card ... So be patient and save your money to buy RDRAM (and i820 support only 2 RDRAM). And you can overclock your CPU to run at 133.

just have a look at the thread I started about dual PIII mobo. Awx

I've read (in iXBT PIII500E Review) that SMP is planned to be for 600 and over. About the i8x0 chipset, I TOTALY agree with this message (except the language ) and share the same dreams. I think that 440BX is still the best chipset. I find particulary funny the fact that you can find a "low-cost sound audio" next to RD-RAM on the same card ... Awx btw : my nickname is Awax with ONE x. I f@cked up while registering for the first time and wasn't able to log as Awax si I had to register again and choose another nickname. PS : I think we should start another thread about 3Com cards .... [This message has been edited by Awaxx (edited 07 February 2000).]

Here is the question section : Asus brand new mobo P3C-D : have any one heard anything about it ? It looks to be a good card, except it's ai820 and need RDRAM (or SDRAM with adaptor but it's 5-10% slower than 440 BX with SDRAM). So if you have any comment about this card, plez, give it. About Intel's new slot : FC-PGA. Can I but a dual FC-PGA on a dual socket370 card ?????? And can I crack a PIII500E so it can work in SMP ???? Awx [This message has been edited by Awaxx (edited 07 February 2000).]

Ok, let's start giving answers ... 1 - SHS Yeah ! What a box!!!! (dual 600-you got money, don't you ?) but I would buy a 3Com 10/100 Mbps. Before having one, I though it was like any other card. Now, I can't live without. 2 - JimmyK Personnal use, but, I'm a game freak and I wanna play while on dedicated server so SMP. I'm a gfx freak : making a 12000x9000 pixels images with up to 20 layers with Photoshop every month and rendering broadcast quality 3D movies, made with Lightwave and 3DSMax. I'm a video freak, compiling broadcast quality film very often, and actual, I'm writing a app to mix and broadcast disco animations film in real time through a cluster of machines. So, I call it personnal use, but ... (Don't imagine anything : I'm just a 22 years old french student in a french engineer HighSchool (told to be the french best HighSchool )) 3 - MarksmanX I've already had a look at Tyan mobo. Quite impressive (very HUGE mobo). But I don't know if I can find some in France. 4 - Greggy Good card, I'll have a look. 5 - Riz iXBT get a intereting point about ABIT mobo : just have a look. It's about overclocking abilities : PIII500E review. It says that ABIT could have done extremely stable mobo in overclock by increasing latency time, so it decreases performance. The guy want to have a deeper look before giving conclusion. 6 - DarthBobo Thk U for Ur advice. 7 - Greggy Thk U for Ur second advice Awx - now let's go to the question section. [This message has been edited by Awaxx (edited 07 February 2000).]

I don't want a Celeron, I wanna have a FULL dual card, witht no underCPU. I mean that when I use my computer at 100%, it's not a little girl job so I wanna have dual PIII. Asus is good but the trouble is that it's only 4 PCI and I don't need ISA. The A-Trend is better with 6 PCI, no ISA. And the Asus is a little bit old (not overcloking function via BIOS setup).

BTW, after Senior Member, what's the next stage ? And how many do I need to become "the Man" ??? Awx

I forgot : between 200 and 300 $. I don't want SCSI, LAN, sound, video : already have that. Awx

As far as I know, Asus G400 is the only card supporting TV-Out with Win2k (btw, I sell a TNT2 based card ). But just wait the 17th and then U can go and kill nVidia if they don't release a good driver. Btw, such a question regarding tv-out and nVidia cards and many other questions have already been asked on this forum. Just try the SEARCH button, here and on other forum (I mean BEFORE sending a new question). You may have more complete answers and quicker. Awx [This message has been edited by Awaxx (edited 05 February 2000).]

I post here, even if it's a HARDWARE forum cos since I've tried many clean reinstall, it might be hardware conflict. Awx

You should have shot this guy. DEATH TO STUPID NEWBIES. I've just written a FAQ to install Win2k. The first things I ask is to have a Win2k CD and a brain. The CD is easyer to get. Awx
