you won't need one if you have a good tv-out card like g400dh(or max). i have no problem watching dvd or divx on my tv only got cut off on both side because my 4:3 tv doesn't support 16:9. now for that mitsubishi platinum 55" i am planning to get.......

do you have a revision v1.1 bp6 board? it might be defective.. go to www.bp6.com to find out more.

yes, diablo II beta works fine under win2k. i personally don't have a copy.. but the people from www.firingsquad.com did and they are using win2k as their platform to "test" diablo II without any problems. and no, there's no 'workable' leaked version of diablo ii beta yet ------------------

yep, win2k drivers can do tv-out and dualhead for the g400's, AND the drivers can switch between single and dual(and tv-out) without rebooting, unlike win98/NT

personally, i recommend using at least 2 partitions. one for the system files and the others for programs and data. and for system files i would use regular fat instead of ntfs simply because it's easier to fix any problem you have in case your w2k really messes up. worst comes worst.. just reformat your system partition with ANY dos bootable disk and start over again, without having to worry about your data. it's also easier to boot off a dos disk and still be able to go in and fix something in your system in case the need arises. just my 2cents

hello.. got this problem with IE5 and i am wondering if any of you can help me. when i was using the beta version of w2k and i need to view different encoding under IE5, i can either do a windows upgrade or just go to one of the homepage where a different language(chinese big5) is required and IE5 will retrieve the necessary files from the ms server to view the homepage properly. now that i installed the final version, i can no longer do that. when i click on windows update, no language encoding was available, and when i go to a homepage where i need to have different encoding.. it looks for my cd to get the files. it wouldn't be a problem if big5 is on the cd, but there's not cht directory available. of course now the question is, how can i get the encoding upgrades? any advice would be appreciated. thanx in advance
