    ?Got in a bit late and see that Ken has beat me to the punch. Excellent. Thanks guys. XP for me, for now. Without this forum I don?t know how I would have gotten this info (inside skinny from those who have used Vista at this stage) Thanks from me also.

    On the cusp of new notebook purchase ? opinons re wait for preloaded Vista or go with XP now ?

    I guess I gave too much hardware information, sorry. The point I am asking about - or better stated looking for opinions and feedback about is along the lines of what you did respond with. I have done some research on Vista, but do not have it nailed yet as to the desirable-ness of waiting on...

    On the cusp of new notebook purchase ? opinons re wait for preloaded Vista or go with XP now ?

    A clear curiosity and request for intelligent, informed opinions. The new notebook will be purchased with 2gig of Dram. It will have a decent, current CPU and at least 120 to 160 gig of Hard Drive. I do not know what the new Vista ? so called - expanded hardware requirements are, but I...

    USB keyboard in Win 2K w/ working USB card installed

    My most recent, wonderful heavy clicky IBM AT keyboard seems to have bit the dust. It was a PS 2 keyboard. The newest Microsoft ergo 4000 keyboard is USB only. It seems like the one I want to get. Using Windows 2K, SP4 with a well working USB 2 card installed, is it safe to assume that a USB...

    Any reason to assume that the dedicated casing of an external DVD burner better or worse than separately purchased exter

    Is there any reason to assume that the casing of an external DVD burner would be any less desirable that a separately purchased external casing which could then enclose an internal version of the same DVD burner ? The external version of various manufacturers? units comes to about $20 more...

    Antec "True Power" 430 versus power supply higher watt and lower priced

    Wow, excellent feedback from the big hitters, here. Thanks. I was not aware of the dual wires, although the mock up and look and feel of this Antec "True Power? unit is impressive, indeed. This 430 is a step up from the Antec 300W I had previously. I do not object to going with the Antec 550 or...

    Antec "True Power" 430 versus power supply higher watt and lower priced

    I am curious how those more experienced with day to day use and application of power supplies would view the prospect, proposed on this site, of many companies putting out higher ratings than deserved in power supplies. And how this would apply to the Antec ?True Power? ps. For example, would...

    Hopefully finally nail down preferableness of DVD-R OR DVD+R

    This thread of mine has become quite useful. I would, actually, like to see if there are informed opinions as to whether the question raised by RFJ, and not yet answered, has a ready answer to it. I expect it is whether the additional software tools and supposedly higher quality innards of the...

    Hopefully finally nail down preferableness of DVD-R OR DVD+R

    Yes, RFJ, please feel free to enter in. It would seem desirable to pick up the line of messages/posts that was in progress (now on the previous page) and up to your last post, and may have been thrown off with the message regarding Sony, etc.

    Hopefully finally nail down preferableness of DVD-R OR DVD+R

    NightCrawler, Could you elaborate a touch on the previous advantage to the minus format versus now ? And do you mean DVD+R as a "catagory" when you reference DVD+R/W ? (which would include DVD+R and DVD+RW) Thanks.

    Hopefully finally nail down preferableness of DVD-R OR DVD+R

    dheffer, Interesting. I had the impression that their more predominate uses were the reverse. In other words, -R for more prevelant and compatible with older DVD players and +R for data due to some "enhanced" features and somwhat less compatible for older or newer DVD players And Rima.com has...

    Hopefully finally nail down preferableness of DVD-R OR DVD+R

    I do know that this is not the newest question available, but I have spent hours and it would be lovely to get nailed down as to whether it would be more practical to buy a spindle of ?R or +R DVDs. I would only buy Taiyo Yudens. I am, among other things, a computer engineer and not unfamiliar...

    LiteOn 1213S DVD R - resolved its error problems with newer firmware ?

    vailr , Shagga and sandorski - Thanks, Do you think that flashing the LiteOn 1213S to with Sony's DRU-710A firmware would or will distinctly benefit the LiteOn 1213S in terms of reliability - elimination or reduction of coasters and the results of improved quality of writes and reads. Or is...

    LiteOn 1213S DVD R - resolved its error problems with newer firmware ?

    This DVD writer is available from good vendors at a decent price and even seems to have a new way to flash it to a dual layer drive. (Vendors that I prefer) But this review http://cdrinfo.com/Sections/Re...eId=9861&PageId=18 states in the conclusion "Its performance with either...

    USB Card 9.99 shipped

    Thanks, I wrote that in that I have seen postings saying that one should only go for NEC chipset USB 2.0 cards. Several chips on the MB in topic, above, are VIA chips. I will have to research as to how or if the USB 2.0 card will actually take over the USB functioning, when it is used...

    USB Card 9.99 shipped

    Are the VIA chipsets all that undesirable ? (this one has one) rather than then NEC chipsets. Also, separately, but quite important, have you found that motherboards aligned with USB 1.1 will accept USB 2.0 easily enough ? ( I hope they do) , such as the venerable IWILL KK266 MB ?

    Will an MSI KK266 MB well accept a standard USB 2.0 card ?

    Does anyone know if there is anything in the USB1.1 bios, on the MSI KK266 MB, which will conflict or limit the inserted CARD, which would presumably provide 2.0 throughput ? The BIOS/date of the MSIKK266 is one of the latest. Separately, it is a fairly well known understood that this MB had...

    Adaptec USB2Xchange cable to recognize HP 6100C scanner copy utility. Help appreciated, very much.

    I have not been able to get the Adaptec USB2Xchange cable (USB 2.0 to SCSI) to recognize an HP 6100C SCSI scanner, using the 50 to 25 pin adapter, and onto/into the 25 pin port on the scanner. I have also tried with the direct 50 pin to 50 pin on an HP 5 scanner. Win XP (home) on a new notebook...

    Is there any reason that Windows 2000 could not be dual booted with Windows 2000 ? In other words, 2 Win2k installations rather than Win 98 on the other boot. That way one could have NTFS read by both boots and also have the benefits of Dual booting. Over at this thread, Ghost Threadl the...

    Does Windows 2000 SP 3 support larger than 137 gig HD sizes ?

    Nothinman and spyordie007, thanks. I guess: "As EeyoreX said ,you still need a controller that supports LBA48, installing XP SP1 on a non-LBA48 controller won't help you use larger drives." nails it. One needs a MB with that LBA48 rom/bios support, regardless of the OS. I will look into the...

    Does Windows 2000 SP 3 support larger than 137 gig HD sizes ?

    I specifically held off on SP 4 due to calamitous postings about problems post installation of SP 4. SP 3 should cover what SP 4 does regarding LBA and large drive sizes.

    Does Windows 2000 SP 3 support larger than 137 gig HD sizes ?

    Does Windows 2000 SP 3 support larger than 137 gig HD sizes ? Apparently Win XP SP1 provides LBA support for hard drives larger than 137 gig. Thus in Win XP SP1, one does not need a controller card when installing drives in the 160, 200 and 250 gig range. Does SP 3 resolve this in Win 2K, or...

    WD 250GB SE hard drive $140+tx @ CC ARs
