Thanks Paul for this one:
It would appear that the Promise TX4 IDE RAID controller is NOT compatible with Pentium IV systems.
I purchased one last week and after spending 4hrs attempting to get it up & running I fired off an e-mail to Promise support. They asked me which motherboard I have as they are having a few issues with some but they have a fix in the works. I replied telling them I had an Asus P4T-E. The latest response from Promise technical support is:
Yes you can expect problems on that motherboard. I have no ETA on this fix unfortunately. A workaround would be to use a PentiumIII platform motherboard.
This is a little bit disappointing as the Promise TX4 is Promise's flagship RAID 0, 1, 0+1 card offering 4 independent IDE channels for excellent workstation/small server performance, however if your workstation/small server is running the latest & greatest from Intel then you wont be able to use this card.

PC Stats has posted a Network Cards & Overclocking article
Today we're going to be looking at how Network Cards (NIC's) handle overclocking, and if they might be the thing that's holding you back from getting higher speeds. As you already know, every peripheral in the PCI slots of your computer is linked to the FSB, and when you're going past 133 MHz (with most boards) you're going to be running the PCI bus out of sync. This means the PCI cards will no longer running at their specified speeds - they willl be running faster then the are supposed to.

Lindows, based in San Diego, Calif., argued that it has no presence in the state of Washington, where Microsoft filed the suit, the Linux company said in a statement Tuesday.
Lindows said a hearing is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 1 on the company's motion and on Microsoft's motion for a preliminary injunction that would halt use of the Lindows name. Microsoft said the Lindows name could confuse the public, but Lindows argues that Microsoft doesn't pursue legal action against many other companies that employ windows or similar words in their names.

So let's jump right to the point. What is the 415-D chipset? The 415-D chipset is the 420-D chipset without the integrated GeForce 2 graphics core. It has the same TwinBank 128-bit memory architecture as the 420-D as well as the DASP and HyperTransport features. But without the integrated graphics core, NVIDIA can now offer the motherboard manufacturers and the end users a lower-cost motherboard.
