Well, I have given this topic some serious thought and have come up with a very contentious point of view.
Firstly some important details about my computer.
I have:
Dual PentiumIII 966 on ASUS Apollo-pro 266 with 512DDR ram. Geforce2 GTS, 2*30 Gig IBM Deskstar SCSI 160 running off an Adaptec 29160. Sony G420 19" Display.
This set-up has provided me with hang-up free performance for 1.3 years. The only problem was encountered when I attached a Microsoft Intellimouse.
ME then decided that my serial ports were going to be the main drivers for my mouse and lost the USB support for the intellimouse.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
