I'd be extremely annoyed if I'd signed up for this, because they're already beyond RC2 everywhere else in the world. Word is that the RTM version's only days away.

Yea - you need to use W98 - call up a DOS window and type 'format a: /s'

Just wanted to thank you guys for the advice. I've bought and installed the Asus P2B-D mobo and it's every bit as stable as you said. Everything installed flawlessly - everything works. Lesson learnt - steer clear of new mobo's and use only tried and tested models.

Hi Sparkhard,
The problems you're having are exactly the same as I encountered. I actually review PC graphics cards (amongst other things) for a living and so I have a large collection of them. The only Nvidia card I've ever managed to get running is the Creative GeForce DDR (and believe me, I've tried all drivers right through from 3.81 to the latest 7 series). I get serious freezes when using anything else. I did get a Radeon 32Mb DDR to work satisfactorally, but its performance was less than the Creative card so it didn't solve a lot. My advice is to either change the motherboard (since Tyan show no signs whatsoever of wishing to solve the problems with this board)or perhaps trade in your GeF2 for a Radeon 64Mb DDR. Hope this helps.

Many thanks to all the people that replied - having looked into it I've decided on that Asus board. Can't wait to have something that actually works

EM - they're standard E's. Slot 1, not fcpga. I had been looking at the P6DBE, but wasn't sure if my CPUs were compatible with it, since I think the SuperMicro site only lists CPUs up to 600 as running on that mainboard - could be wrong. Any particular board revision I should aim to get?

I'm currently runing a Tiger133 with dual PIII800 cumines. I'm sick to death of the Tiger though (the only graphics card I've ever managed to get working on it is a standard GeForce DDR) and want a new dual slot 1 motherboard. I'm not bothered about overclocking features and I don't mind if it's AGP2x and doesn't have onboard SCSI. Does anyone know of a simple, stable and compatible dual slot 1 motherboard that will work with my two PIII800 cumines? Any help gratefully received.
Watcha got for your desktop?

I've been porting over some of the exceptionally nice 128 pixel OS X icons onto the PC. The basic problem with these is that XP can only do 48 pixel icons, so I use DesktopX from Stardock which enables me to use images of any size with full alpha transparency. End result - the original OSX icons, the way the artist wanted them to look. Screenshot shows DesktopX running with some TriTanium OSX icons, along with my own Chromedome resource meter, the ChosenOS winamp2 skin, the ChosenOS windowblinds skin and my own iconpackager suite of icons. I think it looks pretty nifty ...
