WinXP slamming, FUDs, GPL arguments... whatnot

The DR-DOS issue is BS. That only occured with a beta version, not the final version.

Which DDR mobo?

Try going with Amptron's new DDR board or ECS's. Well, they're about $75 and $80, respectively. Based on the ALi MAGiK chipset, but hey, performs a heck of a lot better than the KT266. You can get an AMD760 based one, the FIC AD11, for about $110 nowadays.

ETA of Polimino

Doesn't look like a motherboard for Palomino to me.

HELP! Floppy seek when Win2k says "Starting windows" ? HELP!

If you disable the Server service, this won't occur. Of course, if you do that, you won't have file sharing enabled, nor printer sharing. That isn't always a problem though - you generally don't want to be sharing files anyway IMO unless you're on a LAN.

Recommendations on DDR board needed

I'd say an AMD760 board would be a good idea. Try the FIC AD11 or the Biostar M7MIA. Both are reasonably priced, though their Southbridge is unfortunately the Via 686B as with all AMD760 Northbridge boards that one can find on the market *mumbles* (well, aside from that one Tyan dual proc...

Dual Processor AMD Motherboard?

Tyan is making a DDR one based on AMD760MP. Don't believe you'll be able to find a SDRAM one, on the basis that the AMD760MP is (so far) the only multiprocessor chipset for Socket A.

ok, STUPID question time.....What is T&L?

Transform and Lighting is essentially the process of (here comes the first word) transforming the vertices of various polygons from their position in object space to their position in camera space (of course, in between there we have view and projection), and calculating the (second word)...

Question:OEM - nVidia Geforce2 GTS 32MB DDR TV-Out

OEM means it just comes in a white box with no pretty manuals or anything. It's less expensive, though. All GeForce 2 GTSes are DDR. :)

Advice for new T-bird DDR board.

FIC AD11 is supposedly perfectly stable, with good performance.

Windows 2000 and overclocking

Windows 95 and 98 and ME would be glad to let you have tons of glitches and they'd never know the difference. They're stupid like that. Your system was at too high a speed in the first place if W2K has problems.

Help!!! My old Vanta outperforms my new GF2MX!!!

Which GeForce 2 MX did you buy? If you bought a 100 or a 200, or a "Lite", you essentially got a card with the same memory bandwidth as a Vanta, I do believe. You'd want an MX-400 or at least make sure it has 64-bit DDR or 128-bit SDR memory...

Bye, Bye DDR?

Very silly. I could say, "Bye bye, 2 GHz CPUs!" because 4 GHz ones will be out only a year or two later. That doesn't make the technology any less worth having for the present. What is good NOW is not always good in the future. This doesn't nullify it as a good technology for the present.
