Yep. You are losing out on other features. If ACPI is recognised, your standard computer should be renamed to "Advance Configuration and Power Inteface (ACPI) PC".

So... I got this problem saying that they need nt4 server to install. I'm using win2k professional! And yes, i used the stupid update at www.microsoft.com/proxy . [This message has been edited by SonicKnight (edited 27 February 2000).]

An update guys. Still does not work even after setting the buffer to 1. I thought that this was a problem with VIA. Hmm... My friends with BX chipsets have this problem too! I'm so happy in one way , but sad in on way too.

My system config: ----------------------------- VIA MVP3 192MB SDRAM Riva TNT2 AMD K6-2 400 SBLive! 13.6GB HD 1 PCI network card 1 ISA network card Yamaha 8424 EZ IDE CD-R drive ----------------------------- Now the problem. Everytime i play an MP3 with ANY player and click on my start menu, the crackling sound pops up!!! ARGH! I'm getting this with the new Dell drivers and the old drivers of Live! And yes, this configuration is rock stable! I can play Unreal Tournament at AGP2x with AGP SB if you guys are wondering. Please help me! I tried disabling write cache and change my HD to use PIO mode, but it STILL does not help! Please help!
