    Win98SE and 768MB RAM

    Tony some motherboards are a problem Hi I had a Soyo motherboard, that even though it said it supported 768 mb of ram, it just did not work, something wrong with the third ram slot. I tried all kinds of ram combinations, and ran memory testing dos programs, and that's when I finally figured it...

    How much RAM??

    512 If IRC: 98 has addressing problems with over 512 MB??? I use 251 mb, or more, in a couple machines, so, would think 512 is a nice number to aim at. gs

    WD drive with 8MB cache - is the hype justified?

    Tannin: I agree "As a rule of thumb, I'm in favour of putting the pagefile on a seperate drive, even a moderately low-performance one, but it seems to matter less and less as we fit more and more RAM. Back in 16MB days, it was vital!" One of the machines around here is a P2 400 mhz, Intel...

    WD drive with 8MB cache - is the hype justified?

    and, where in all this did you put the pagefile? I've used a faster ide drive for a storage pagefile, on some machines, and been happy with it. Don't you think this is a better idea, even if the startup drive is an X 15? gs

    Video Cards - Your Thoughts

    My luck Kyro 2 Guillemont didn't work under 98, great under 2000. Voodoo 5500 rocks, under both os, and, for the price, was the steal of the century. Use it for dual boots on 98/2000, when I can find it. TNT 1 and 2 have worked very well, with no complaints. and the MMX, for a cheap video...

    Plant tanks are tanks with actual, living, growing, plants The plants convert the waste and by products of the fish into, I believe, oxygen, and, feed themselves from it as well. The result is you don't have to change the water as often to get rid of the toxins that fish waste produces, since...

    New addition to the family...sorta :)

    Planets are a big deal... OK First off, learn about plants, and the benefits they have for tanks. Consider plant tanks, since they get rid of lots of toxins. Also, don't buy the fish you want to keep first. Buy something like tetras, that are good for breaking the tank in, and, then after the...

    MSFT settlement, and the Tunny Act

    Tunny act is the basis for public comment on how the citizen feels, about the actual harm the monopoly actions have caused, I suspect.
