Gotta wonder if this post isn't a gag but... Socket 7 board can't supply enough current for modern 3D cards. And Nexus_7 is right - even if the card DID work on the mobo, it would be no faster than an old Riva TNT2 or a Voodoo3 - you're SEVERELY CPU limited. Take the vid card back and invest the mon...

If the card has TV out, ANY recent Det driver should allow you to use it.

Any driver from STB is going to be WAY out of date.

It's the F6 key I think. First question the Win2K (or XP) install asks is to hit F6 if you need to install SCSI or other (like ATA100) drivers, or else hit Return to continue. Hit F6 to load the SCSI drivers. You MUST have the drivers unzipped and ready on a FLOPPY (you can't access them off a CD or...

I've heard of this problems with some Logitech mice (not necessarily cordless) and haven't heard of any fix.

In generall wireless mice aren't very good for gaming though.

Well sorry if I came off sounding that way :( I will quote my original reply here which I think was an honest and fair opinion on my part and leave it at that: I don't like Radeon cards. Some people are happy with theirs but I and many others have been disappointed at lack luster driver support from...

VIDMAN, why do you insist on making this an ATI versus NVidia thread? The guy asked for an opinion. I've given my opinion based ON MY EXPERIENCES. I've had no luck with Radeons. So have others - ask Doc Silly who gave up on his and went for a GF3 Ti-200 like I did and is a WHOLE lot happier now. I'v...

Latest version of Partition Magic will combine ANY partition type.

Make DARN SURE you make a Ghost image of the drive first - at least the boot partition. There is some risk involved.

Run the "Auto Configure" shortcut in the MOHAA startup menu. That sets the video settings to what they believe is the ideal for your card, then set the resolution as you like it. If you still have problems I have to assume you're using a setting in your advanced display properties or some ...

I've tried running a Radeon DDR 64mb Vivo on my rig and despite a lot of tweaking it ran decidedly worse than the Geforce DDR I tried to replace with it. I've also helped some friends out with a variety of other Radeon cards. Overall I have not been impressed by Radeons. Most everyone in the industr...
