Just set up a system 1Gig/266 AMD with 512Megs DDR2100, 64Meg Geforce2, SBLive and was wondering if I still need to install the Via and AMD patch files, I have a PIII system just like it with VIA and have no problems with it and I have no problems with the AMD system until I play a game and I get a loud hiss noise in the audio for about 1.5minutes and then it goes away and works fine. I put another HDD in the AMD system and put win98se on it and that hiss is not there....kinda strange that it would be there for just a couple minutes and disappear. I have done all the updates, Det 21.83XP, SBLive, etc...any ideas or similiar issues?
