WHY!?!?!?! windows is running so damn slow! it locks up cuz it lags so much..then i disconnect from the dsl, nnd its fine. HELP ME!!

anyone else have this?!? it wont work under 2000!!! stupid!! damnit - they should be releasing a fix soon - anyone know tricks to get it to work, or have the update early?? i just spent a lot of $ on this, and it wont work under 2k! only 98/ME .. and 98&ME both suck!!!! please help panaph0bic

ok - i just reinstalled win2k professional from cd rom after reformatting.... now outta no where, my monitor will go black...not turn off, but more like as if the cord was not plugged fully into the video card. i made sure both are tight, and it worked fine before reformatting. i get the orange light, so i know there is power, etc...then i have to restart, and it works fine then. i really need help on how to fix this. thanks!

ok - i think i figured it out - i have a crappy 250watt power supply....and it is powering the mobo/processor, voodoo5 (it has to have a power cord going into the card itself), 3 hard drives, soundblaster 5.1 platinum ...so i thought that i might be powering too much (gee ya think ?) i unplugged one of the hard drives, and havent had problems since...i guess im just searching for a new full tower with a 350watt supply thanks for your help people!

i never installed any drivers for the VIA chipset (i know i have VIA).....i just install Windows2000 professional....and its always worked fine until now (before, i would dual boot Win98 & Win2k on the same hdd....but this is the first time installing 2k only on it...)

eh - i know my monitor can support 1280x1024....yet im running 1024x768 - and its just the same default drivers ive been using for the past two years... i have a 3dfx voodoo5 5500 pci - - could that be going out? its not that old....
