    If Abit goes under...

    ...what mobo manufacturer would you go with? Assuming you were a long time Abit user... My first experience with Abit is my beloved BH6. I used that 'ol girl to run my Celeron 300A that I o/c'd to 504 mhz. Later, I used a BF6 to run a PIII 600 that I o/c'd to 866 mhz. In fact, I still use...

    I have to UNPLUG the system to get it to boot?!

    While it's not entirely necessary, I'd suggest you remove the A/C power plug to the power supply before you clear the CMOS. It's a practice from the old days but I still do it. Yeah, now is a good time to check for the lates BIOS for your mobo.

    I have to UNPLUG the system to get it to boot?!

    Considering you have a new power supply and it is of sufficient specification and quality, you should be able to eliminate that item as a culprit. Have you recently made any mobo BIOS adjustments? Have you recently flashed your mobo BIOS? If so, it's always a good idea to clear your CMOS...

    Life hits ABIT hard...

    As an Abit only user, this news is disappointing. I hope they get their ship righted.

    Is my system bottlenecked by my CPU?

    I didn't know anybody cared about CPU's anymore...I purchased my last processor well over two years ago and it's still kickin' ass. CPU's are a 90's thing. :p

    Looking for the best AGP card for 200ish...

    If he's got an AGP slot, the X800 XL is about as good as he could get...for now. It will run him over $200 but it's a great card for those who have stout AGP mobo's. If your friend does a lot of gaming, he might be disappointed with anything less.

    Monitor blinks off/on randomly

    I experienced similar anomalies before my HD crashed. I'd start backing up data...NOW.

    Catalyst 5.13 Discussion

    Interesting. I only use Omega Drivers because they're less cluttered than the Cats. Plus, the Omega Drivers work for my 9600 in my laptop where the Cats don't. The best thing is the Omegas are free from the CCC thing. I did have an issue with Temporal AA with the Omegas so I just disable it.

    Catalyst 5.13 Discussion

    Any reason why y'all don't use the Omega Drivers instead? It has ATI Tray Tools built in. I thought everyone used the Omega Drivers. No?

    Does my x850xt pe have any avivo powers?

    http://www.elitebastards.com/page.php?pageid=13054 Elite Bastards has/had a ATI AVIVO Video Converter v1.12 that apparently works for those of us who don't have X1000+ cards. You might want to wait until the next Omega Drivers are released. They "may" include AVIVO support for cards like...

    help my friend with his laptop

    The 9600 is pretty good on a laptop. I have one in my E-Machine with an Athlon 64 3400. It's no desktop replacement but it will play games quite well. I just turn down graphic settings to medium and stay at 1024x 768 rez. Runs great! I use the Omega drivers on this machine. I can OC the...
