I also notice this doesnt happen the other way around...ie from IDE to SCSI. Strange, I'd say. -oXide 3dfx for Life [This message has been edited by oXide (edited 21 December 2000).]

Where in the registry can i find the equivilent of the "Startup folder". There is this program that i uninstalled but its damn tray icon still comes up. i scoured through the registry and deleted every trace but i cant fix it. i also looked in win.ini and the startup folder but to no avail...help please. thank -oXide -win2k

wow. thanks alot, to all, for all your help, -oXide

I am currently running UltraWide SCSI HD's and other devices and they are great. I want to upgrade though, and my motherboard already has ATA100 built in...I really want to get ultra160 adapter and harddrives as I've always been one for SCSI. However, this option would be like 3x more than the ATA100 alternative...I want to know what advantages there are to getting SCSI over ATA100 besides price. I know that the fastest HD's out now only go like 40megs/sec so i suppose the more bandwidth on ultra160 would only be good for RAID and multiple drive access right? Also, i remember back in the day SCSI you could read and write over the SCSI chain at the same time w/o bogging down the system (which is good for burning etc)....I ***ume this is still the case but has it chaged for ATA? Thanks

Hi...I am having a problem with win2k and glqw. When i play on the net, it feels like i have major paket loss...when in fact i dont. I have like 0-pl and 50ping...i dont get it. I know it has something to do with win2k too cause in 98 (which i dont have installed anymore) it doesnt work. Is there something i can do in win2k to rid this awful problem?? I need my QW! PS...It feels either like PL, or like it is skipping frames or something you know... subtle, but enough to screw up my game play. This doesnt happen in q3 Thanks alot. I've been trying to figure it out for like 5 months and consulted other message boards, but to no avail. -oXide p3700 (at973) voodoo5 196MB RAM win2k w/dx8

Hi. I am trying to overclock my win2k system to something well within the limits of my hardware. I am simply clocking my 700e, to 800, which is totaly possible. I boot windows just fine, but when i try to use a processor intesive application, like quake, windows will crash into a blue screen of death and read "MACHINE_EXCEPTION_CHECK" or something like that. IT doesnt really give me enough time to read it. Is there anything i can do to avoid this? Can win2k and overclocked mobo live in harmony? thanks -oXide p3-700e asus cusl2 (i815) ultra160 (thought i'd throw that in)

I post something, and people reply with shit that has nothing to do with my question..is that a legitamate reason for frustration? "HI, I am having a problem overclocking..." "Then dont overclock" Wtf kinda answer is that? My frustration is valid..though it may seem i am "flaming" people, a closer look would reveal nothing more but human emotion. -oXide [This message has been edited by oXide (edited 11 September 2000).]

Wow. Instant stability! I changed my core voltage to 1.70, and everything runs just fine now. Thanks alot! Quote: Originally posted by DosFreak: From 700 to 800? Yes, Improve voltage. in .1 increments until stable. 1.67 should be good.

No to what, you idiot. If you are not going to resolve my original problem posted in my orinal thread, then you dont need to reply. Anyway, what i've come to conclude, from bits an pieces of other answers, is that to overclock succesfully, i need win98. So fine. I will install win98 on a seperate partition. Right now my FSB and Memory is running at about 114mhz which is fine for my memory, as it is 133mhz. I improved cooling tremendouly, but I havent played with the voltage yet. Would it be nessecary to do so? Will this increas stablility in win2k? Quote: Originally posted by Ronin: Ok You want an answer??? NO!!! Damn why is it so important that you overclock?? So you can gain 5 Fps in Q3? Just leave things alone if they are working. The old saying goes, "If it aint broke don't fix it" Let's talk about something else. Someone needs to start a football thread. Ya let's talk about sports, because these stupid questions are killing me. ...

Yes, I've improved cooling, but havent changed the voltage...would this be nesseary? Quote: Originally posted by Xiven: I assume you have tried raising the voltage and improving the cooling.

Yes of course i put back my original settings and yes it works fine. My problem isnt with my default settings, its with my overclocked settings and i want to know how i can over come them...It seems that my only solution is using win98...am i correct? Or will someone give me another indefinite answer -oXide Quote: Originally posted by Ronin: Wow!!! for once someone backed me up. I've had lots of luck with overclocking. But when thing lock up and you have problems it's always best to put the orginal seetings back in place and see if you are still have problems. If that don't help then you need to look at what other things may be causing your problems. Why overclock a 700 anyways there can't be that much advantage in doing so. Have you tried going back to original settings? ...

I have plenty of friends with win98 who dont get any probs at all. This is obviously something in win2k aritechture that isnt letting me do this....i want a work around, or at least just a verification that i cant do this in win2k.. - Quote: Originally posted by DosFreak: Sounds like a pretty legitimate answer to me. About as legitimate as you can get. Seriously try underclocking and try it. "I boot windows just fine, but when i try to use a processor intesive application" Classic symptom of overclocking.

Quote: Originally posted by Ronin: Just stop overclocking and things will work fine. Why would you even bother to post that? That has nothing to do with our question. Does anyone want to post a legitimate answer pertaining to the questions? -oXide
