If you are readu using NT4, you should have know NT is not for gaming. If you want a NT style OS, try Win 2K, most of new game now are compatible with win 2K without problem.

HAHA I am just happen to be the one "his firend" who supply him the PIII 850 processor. I have nothing to say to you Irwin.... Yes, You are very "inexperience", and I hope you are no paying for it.... Take the mobo to lcoate computer store see if they can borrow you a cpu to test the mobo... If the mobo works, try to flesh the mobo with the latestest BIO I send you that will support 8.5 X multipiler to support PIII 850. I don't think your CPU is fried. I have pick another Asus P3v4x mobo and put in a PIII 850. It did not have the correct reading on the screen. So I use a PIII 550 and flash the BIO. It works great with BIO version 1005. Plz do not waste the CPU I choose for you taht will go over 1 GHz. Not all 850 can go over 1Ghz. Let me know
