I'm using 5.0, plus patch, and, I've bought the audio upgrade package, as well. Greg

That sucks. I'm likewise having computer and car problems. Seems the oil seals blew, and the car is gushing oil, into the timing chain area, and out onto the muffler and cat. 700 dollars later, I hope it was worth doing. My car has 248,000 miles on it, and, I've had it since new. Don't know if...

Swede: I couldn't get Quake 3 to install. So, I did the install on my XP 32 bit machine, copied the folders over to the 2003 server machine, and it works fine. I can't get PowerDVD to install on 2003, and they say it's not supported. Couple others that slip my mind. Get back to you, when I...

Hi Swede: Nice to have you here. 2003 server is a different animal then XP. Hence the thread. I currently have a bunch of computers running XP, and, what works on them does not usually work on 2003 server. Hence this thread. 2003 Server is incredibly fast, and a joy, but games, and...

Sol I like the control features, and ease of changing resolutions woth the control panel. Could you elaborate on your post a bit, so I could see EXACTLY what features you are talking about, and how to check them? Thanks Greg

Wireless=bads... GS

HMMM. ATI's crossfire X 850 XT appears to connect through a cable between the two cards. Guess maybe I should contact ATI, and see if David's right. Sincerely Greg

The answer is NO. :cry:

Hi I was wondering if anyone had tried crossfire, and, if it would work on this motherboard? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128301 Thanks Greg

Thanks Mercutio. I'm doing it right now. Greg

Mercutio: What ATI drivers do you use with 2003 server? Thanks Greg

Mercutio, that's what's weird. The X1600 HIS card is 150 bucks at new egg, and, I think that was open box. The X850XT from HIS is 180, full retail package with lots of goodies, from Newegg. WEIRD. I'd ordered the X1600, thinking it was close to the 1900, due to the numbering scheme. Then I...

The X1600 pretty much sucks. For a bit more, if you are gaming, the X850XT will thrash it, and, in the games I play, by up to 100%, with eye candy turned on. XL 800 just went south, ati, with passive cooler. I don't think passive is a good idea on that hot a chip. Sincerely Greg

When was the official version 1.2 released? G

Well, Quake is finally Dual processor, and hyper threading aware. "Hyper-Threading Technology: From 1.2 read me: This update enables QUAKE 4 to take advantage of the Hyper-Threading Technology of Intel(r) Dual core processors. Players who have computer systems with this processor will notice...

I would like to say thanks to all of you here for posting, and advising. I was just thinking I haven't bought, or had anything around other then XP 64, that hasn't worked, in a very long time. My list of hated hardware: Apple G3 minitower Any hard drive apple picks. They seem to go out of their...

Just to clear out the basement? I'm ebaying a Dell like that, right now. S

Liposuction. 1200 bucks, accross the street, to get rid of your gut. Greg

I have both RedHat 9, and a copy of 98 Second edition. If you'd like either. or both, just pay shipping. Greg 94598

Thanks!! Fantastic, Mercutio!!! Now, back to watching March of the Penguins. Emperor Penguins are so cool, it's incredible.!!! :mrgrn: :excl: S

Thanks!! Fantastic, Mercutio!!! Now, back to watching March of the Penguins. Emperor Penguins are so cool, it's incredible.!!! :mrgrn: :excl: S

OWWWWW!!!! :excl: :evil: :wink: S

Figured it might work, since it was NT based version I installed. NO. :cry: S

Hi I signed up for a Yahoo email account, and, it to see how it worked, prior to getting gmail. Ive found the amount of porn bulk trash pretty amazing(Mercutio might really like this feature :wink: ) I find at least 10, usually 15 or more, each day, just logging in. Usually the only email I...

Sol: Yep, that was it. Thanks Greg

The other really annoying feature is while trying to download Service pack 1, it keeps locking the computer up, since I'm not doing anything with it. :crap: Anyway to stop that? S

Well, I installed 2003 on a box I'm putting together for a friend. It's going on an old P3 450 MHZ, 512 RAM, Cheetah boot drive. So far, it seems plenty snappy. This guy is even less computer savy then I. Is there a way to turn off the control-alt-delete at the start? Thanks Greg

hmmm, now the link doesn't go to the product. Sorry. GS

PLEASE!!! Apple releases buggy operating systems, expecting their loyal to sort out the bugs for only 129 dollars a year. :roll: WHY would ANYONE expect their free software to work, even at all? S

I had a Fossil Titanium Watch I bought at Sears. I think it 110 dollars. No allergies, and the watch was just fine. Can't find it right now. Cell phone took over the watches place. Probably ebay it if I find it. Greg

Mercutio: Does Windows put all the drivers in one file, that you could copy, for a driver backup? In other words, take the file, burn it to CD, with the installed drivers already there, rather then having to go searching for drivers? Or, does it just have to be shown a path to a file, so the...

Mercutio that's a great idea, and, a great way to backup your drivers. What is the exact address of the drivers file? Thanks Greg

Sechs: Yes, tried it once, didn't like the Gigabyte motherboard, Nvidia 3 Chipset, IIRC, and wouldn't install. Finding drivers was a hassle, but, that machine had a Matrox video card, and a few other fairly old components, not in the mainstream. Very funny Howell. :wink: Come to think of it...

I'm pretty happy with the ATI XL800X series of cards. Great gaming, very good 2d, not totally offensive software, overall about 9.5 on a scale of 10. I wish Matrox would come up with a decent gaming gpu, I still miss that crystal clarity you could get with the P650, or for that matter, P550. Greg

Mercutio: When I started out doing this, I wasn't ready to give MSFT 400 dollars for an OS. 2003 Server is not supported by a bunch of stuff. For example, Razer mouses software, only XP and 2000. I'm not going to sit here and tell you of all people, what's so cool about 2003 Server. To sum it...

It's just occured to me that I've got things backwards here. I have a gaming box with Windows 2003 Server Edition on it, and, my main machine has XP Pro on it. The only thing stopping me from switching is, it would be an incredible amount of work setting up the Dual Xeons again. Come to think...

Seems there were 3 of them. Deleted two, and, with one, it still works. Memory usage went down from 30,000, to 10,000. Who knows? McAfee didn't pick up anything. Nor did Trend, etc. Greg

Not any of the above. Just suck ass software from AOL... S

Just installed PC Maclan NT on 2003. BLUE SCREEN. No system recovery going back in time, and, even after deleting, still blue... Had to go back to last safe combination, and delete from there, and I was OK. S

What part of planet OZ? I'm ready to move... S

Well, it's air cat time again. It's spring, and, we've had more rain then you can imagine. Devil's Slide, Highway 1, south of San Fran, is washed out, for a long time. It's been raining for nearly 3 months, with SEVERE results. Around here, we have huge pollen bloom, along with massive...

Best time is 30 seconds with my Xeons. :o G

I might have thought this computer was updated, and forgot to check. My bad. Greg :oops:

This is the fan I used, and it looks a bit bigger, and quieter, then the onboard cooling solutions. Plus, if it fails, the card isn't going to massive over heat.

David, Exactly. Should have updated the software..., and turned the printer on for the test. S

Funny part is, David REALLY likes one of the fans designed to blow across the GPU, and out of the case, but, through the same pci slot. In other words, if I understand correctly, the fan exists the air through the single plate. Hold on, let me look at this: Check that. I think it takes two...

Hi David setup a gaming, school rig for me, and, it's been great, except for one minor problem. The Gigabyte passive cooling system is NOT up to 8 hours of intensive Quake 4 play: it checkerboards. Last time I did it, I was thinking of switching cards with my Xeon box, but changed my mind...

No, I've been blowing the fuses around here with our microwave, so I shut the printer off, to save money. Turns out, after updating to 7.07, it does the job in around 15-30 seconds, and, starts kicking pages at 35 seconds. PEBCAKE!!! :oops: Gs
