Weird problem with Audigy 2 card.

JohnnyS
Hi, all. I'm having an odd problem with an SB Audigy 2 (OEM) sound card in a TUV4X mobo (Via chipset). Most of the time the system is playing sounds, there is a loud pop every 31 seconds coming from the card.

hard drive size limit?

dadecamp
What is the drive size limitation in windows 2000 pro? I just installed a maxtor 160gb HD in my file server and it only shows 130gb. Is this a limitation of the operating system or the motherboard? The motherboard is an old epox dual slot 1 with a single plll.

If you haven't taken a read yet? DO!

Brian Frank
Should be interesting, as well as how nVidia is using a bridge for PCI Express and if that makes any noticeable difference in the end. Hopefully 3rd parties will make some smaller PCB's and cooling solutions.

MS04-011 and imcide.sys

Shakedown
I have read where the installation of MS04-011 can cause issues with slow logons and that imcide. sys, along with a Nortel and DLT tape driver, could be the culprit. I have searched all over trying to find out what this driver is for and all I can find are articles relating to the patch.

Phalanx-Imawano
Last month I did a major upgrade and now have a motherboard (changed from the old ASUS P4S133, mainly so I could migrate to DDR RAM from SDR RAM). After getting past the little hassles (doing an install-repair of Windows XP and stuff), everything's running a little better (eg I got a 2000 3DMarks increase in 3DMark ...

Video card w/DVI out for a KT133 chipset MB?

videobruce
I have a Epox EP8-KTA MB with a KT133 chipset. I also have a Sapphire 9100 card that I would like to put in it, but I doubt I can because of voltage differences. Or can I? If not are there any cards that have a DVI out for a KT133 chipset?.

3D Game PC???

WRX_Rocky
I don't create videos, and I don't watch DVD's on my PC (thats why I have home theater). So what I need to figure out is which would be the best setup for a 3D gaming PC that will last awhile. Looking at Tom's hardware guide, the results are kind of confusing.
