this would be better if someone made a tube sound card instead like with a 5 1/2 inch drive bay that would house the tubes and what not that way you could use it on any system and it wouldn't be as limited as this motherboard

a gforce 4 mx with dualhead can be had for about 100 bux the performance is much better on a dual head card then on 2 separate cards and you save a slot. I used to use a matrox pci card as a secondary card and that worked great. that was back when i had a tnt2 and a 440bx

Quote: thank you.....that is very very reassuring..!!! i do use norton anti virus that scans my mail.....but it is good to know that if it misses one mail,i can still count on my judgement before openning a suspicious mail and thus preventing infection. thanks. you shouldn't have to worry but make sure and keep nav up to date

Quote: I have installed .NET server RC1 on my gateway. When I setup NAT on it it asked me if I wanted to use the built in firewall. Is this firewall any good? Or should I install a third party firewall like Norton Personal Firewall. (I have run that before and I like it). Or should I go with some other firewall that is built to use with servers? Any recomendations? the one in .NET is ok the norton personal firewall probably woln't work

wouldn't you want a dvi connector on a digital tv instead of a vga one?

i whish they would make an nforce for the p4 or at least a dual cpu nforce the nforce 2 has dual everything else it would be sweet if they took dual procs aswell

Quote: When is Symantec every going to actually improve their Corporate ver? The Console REALLY needs an overhaul. Sigh. Good thing I don't pay for the corporate ver and my work does. yes true i would have been mad to have shelled out for a product that is almost exactly the same as the last 2 or 3 versions the upgrade from 7.5 to 7.6 was just about os compatability but this new 8.0 version should have more new features and such since they are upping the build number that far. all that has really happened is new icons an new picture and a new placement in the start menu.

adding a domain controller can speed things up instead of a random computer being the boss the DC is

Quote: Thats bullshit. I am one hell of a tech, and can almost fix anything. BUt Via based boards even with all the RIght drivers and Bios, still do not run rock solid stable. In some cases, even in my own experience, certain systems with VIA run flawless, But out of every ten machines I have built with VIa in them, half of them have problems. I get PAID to fix these things, so I can tell you from my many experiences. As long as I, or others like me, in the IT field have some control over companies purchasing practices, AMD will stay out of the Corporate world, till they get a company besides VIA to make chipsets. Maybe NVIDIA, SIS, or ATI will accomplish that. too true nvidia is the first company that has made me even consider having an amd box as a toy and via just sucks you shouldn't have to keep downloading driver/bios if it is stable now it should be for at least 2 years (max lifespan of computer theses days)

i don't know what makes this happen on your comp but does it hurt your gameplay?

Quote: With your mouse you might try uninstalling any proprietary drivers and just use the ones that came with Win2K. Also you could move your USB mouse to PS/2, PS/2 to Serial, etc.. Hey I used to test Windows 98SE (4 months) and 2000 (only for 2 weeks). We had access to almost all the OS symbols, far more than the public will ever get, but they didnt' teach us how to debug. Developers would just connect remotely over our network and try to debug things. Sometimes the remote debugging wouldn't work and then they'd have to come watch it crash in first person. It was cool on Windows 98 everybody else would see blue screens, but with the symbols installed you could see what was running and which .exe and line of code trapped the system. ¡Qué tengas suerte! (Good Luck) sounds cool bro but then again i am quite drunk but it still sounds cool but doesn't nt give you all the info you need bsod equals find the problem and find the solution to me it is those little errors that don't crash the system that piss me off

Quote: Can anyone tell me why Half Life plays extra fast on W2k Pro? The graphics and sound are great. But when you run or shoot it is like you are running almost in fast fwd. Here are my specs. MSI ms-5169, K6-2 500, Aladin 5, Voodoo 5 5500 with last official w2k drivers, HL update 1110, W2k SP 3, DX 8.1. I have tried to run the HL and TFC exe in reg mode and Win98 compatibility mode too. Also when I try to join an online server, it cycles through the connect attempt very fast and then says it cant complete the connection. Any help would be appreciated with those specs you should be glad that sh1t runs extra fast

didn't realize ut was here already well not that i was interested anyhow i will have to buy it though for all my freinds that like to play

Quote: found this cool app that will easily hack your UXTheme.dll (Windows XP). It's not like the uxtheme.dll patcher from tgtsoft, cause this app actually puts the dlls in the right places without booting to safe-mode It's more like StyleXP without the fancy gui and registration. Check it out HERE do you know if this works on .NET server i have prettymuch given up on the whole themes thing and just gone with windows classic but if this works on .net server i may be intersted cause i have made some of my own themes ans i would like to use them again sometime

Quote: Depends on the virus, but if you have preview enabled and you come across an email with HTML enabled that has a hostile ActiveX control, then yes you could get infected. The safest bet is to view everything in txt mode (there's a reg key for this) and to pay attention to whatever attachments you get. Also, might as well disable the preview mode so that all you see is the subject. and get nav corp this will cure all your virus problems

Quote: The reason they took it down is because they don't make either of these keyboards anymore. And the Multimedia Keyboard looks like it lacks the internet hotkeys and the Internet Keyboard (which my folks have) lacks the multimedia keys and neither have the inbuilt USB hub so it appears that MS can give you one or the other but not both. my kb has internet keys multimedia keys and 2 usb ports so it appears they can give you all those features in one they jus aren't doing it anymore.

well as far as i know it could either be veiwing the email or running the attachment that would cause an infection i don't think that jsut haveing the email in the inbox would infect you but i could be wrong i image that it also somewhat depends on vulnerabilities within your mail client itself.

the skipping thing is a bug that is known there si a tread about it on this board somewhere as for the crashing i have not had that problem but i am using .NET not XP don't see why that would have anything to do with it keep in mind this is a beta they will have these problems fixed by prime time i am sure.

Quote: Quote: mine has 2 usb ports and 19 programmable hot keys Do you know how to make the Play/Pause, Stop, Prev Track and Next Track buttons control Winamp instead of WMP? yea you need to download intellitype and set your media button to start winamp then the play and pause will work for it and sapiens74 they took the page with the natural kb pro down the mulitmedia one you have is just like it just has new colors

Quote: Well, its a hard to face up, but it is true. if you keep up[censored] 4in 1's and BIOS, then theres no reason why they are not as stable as any other chipset. Me and a friend both have had/currently have VIA chipsets, and as long as we keep the 4in1's and BIOS up to date, we are rock solid!
