I usually stick with Micron and Crucial (which are actually the same I think). No Name ram can cause some issues. http://www.1stchoicememory.com/ has good stuff and decent prices. I'd stick with PC133 and its up to you if you wanna fork over the extra $$$ for CAS2 vs. Cas3. If ya can I probably woul...

Here is the order I used, and didn't have any issues. OS install. Network Card drivers (for net access). 4N1 drivers. Video card drivers Sound card drivers Direct X To be honest I really don't think the order is an issue at all. Doc just got his 1GIG Athalon, MSI K7TPRO 2-A combo so I assume he is s...

I really like the feel to it. Buttons feel great, and the wheel feels much better to me compared to the IntelliMouse Explorer from Microsoft I was using.

Put that Boomslang on a 3M Precise pad and its fantastic!

Love cranking my sensitivity on the fly.

Ya, didn't really know where everyone went to. Had to email Rad and ask. I been over on the 3dfiles board some as well. WIN 2K does sound interesting but I kinda do alot of gaming, so the compatibility issue with some games would be something of an issue for me. What version of DirectX (D3D) does WI...

I personally wouldn't install Direct CD. I never really did the drag and drop option for CDRW anyway. Lots of software doesn't like it either. I have used both and I no longer even have Easy CD Creator installed. The one they ship with drives really isn't the complete version anyway. I know that it ...

This will sound silly, but after all the heat and what not options are looked into, are ya sure it isnt NFS? I have NEVER been able to get one of those damn games to work on my systems!!! All three of em! I get lock ups seconds into the game! Is it maybe just the game?
