Anyone else having trouble with Office XP FUXORING up your ATI drivers?

ummm. call me crazy, but shouldn't Office XP only be run with Windows XP, not 98?? I have a Radeon 8500 and officeXP, and it runs fine under WinXP. Haven't tried 98 though, sorry. ATI control panel has a little thing where you can rotate the screen 90degrees. Maybe try playing with that.

Gigabyte GA-7VRXP or Soltek SL-75DRV5

I own a Soltek DRV5 board and I swear by it. Not only does it run rock solid, but it saved a CPU that I bought with it. The CPU was an XP1800+ in a retail box and the fan on it was faulty so when I installed it all and fired it up, the fan didnt start. If my board didnt have the ABS thing on...

Acer OEM motherboard

I'm thinking of buying a 2nd hand system that has an OEM Acer V76M mobo in it and a celeron 400 CPU. Do any of you guys know anything about these boards? Am I able to upgrade the CPU? It accepts PC133 Ram so is it reasonable to assume that the FSB could run at 133 also? Any info would be...

ASUS A7N266-VM and new VIA all-in-one's

Anyone know if this ASUS board supports PC133 ram? Its an NForce based board and I think it only supports DDR ram. Also, what do you guys think of the the VIA eden things? The microITX based boards with the on-board CPU? How would they compare to say a Duron 800 system when it comes to basic...

Radeon 9000 or 8500LE?

rogue1979, thanks for that info. Those sort of specs are actually very good! I'm not after the biggest baddest card on the block, just something to run my games (Operation Flashpoint mainly) at decent frames and quality. I have an Athlon 1800XP system so I should be able to acheive frames...

Radeon 9000 or 8500LE?

I can get a 64mb 9000 for AUD$165 or a 128mb 8500LE for AUD$265. What do yous think? Will I notice a big difference in FPS on my XP1800 machine with 256mb PC2100 Ram? The game I play most is Operation Flashpoint. I dont wanna spend the extra AUD$100 if I dont really have to. I currently have...

GeForce 4MX 440 or Radeon 9000??

Thanks Mith, that was quick! I think the review you're refering to is actually based on the Radeon 9000Pro...? That card is quite a bit better than the standard 9000 from what ive heard. Its funny that the 9000 is actually even cheaper than the 8500! But the 9000pro is not. Bear in mind i am...

GeForce 4MX 440 or Radeon 9000??

What do you guys think? They're about the same price. I play CS and Operation Flashpoint primarily but can't afford a decent card. My wallet has narrowed it down to these 2 cards, or of course i could get a Xabre... (or not) Any info will be much appreciated.
