My first as a CTX Pentium 150, 16meg ram, 1 meg video, 33.6 modem, 14 in Ast monitor... :cool:

Scott, don't have much to offer but my thanks....my job wouldn't be nearly as easy (or fun) if you were a programmer as opposed to a tech...this, sir, for you and your family:

Well, now, let's see:

1 64 PC 100 DIMM

Thanks Darren...I appreciate the help...

Just got a pair of PII 400 Xeons, and looking to build...any ideas on best boards for a Server, using these CPUs? Also, what are the power requirements for the Xeons? Any advice will be gratefully...

I have to agree with MSN...cooling is crucial, and the Athlons aren't nearly as forgiving as the K6-2 and 3 processors were. As for boards, I now have aa Athlon 800 and a 750 running...one on an Epox...

Part of the problem is the MoBo...I have yet to find a FIC ss7 that works worth a d#$n...Soyos are not much better. Sounds like the board barfs on K6-2 450's...try running the processor slower (400)...

For the VID issues, try the VIA site for latest and greatest drivers...try the 4-in-1 (I believe 4.23 is the latest...). As for the Aureal card issues, go to the windrivers driver search and check...

I agree that the Epox c2 is a fine board...the heat issue is the most prpoblem I've seen so far...less expensive than the Asus boards, I'd have to reccomend it and it's ATX brother...USB performs...

Darren, I'd love to, but the video is a no go, so no bios, no...anything....the more I think about it, the more it sounds like substandard power...not enough to kick the cpu over?

I'm building an athlon 800 using an EP-7KXA mobo, a 128 meg Micron PC133, WD ATA66 HDD, an Imation LS120, and a V770 TNT2. I got the pc to boot, installed Win98SE...when I rebooted, I got no video....
