    Bootable RAID 1

    I changed from RAID 0 to RAID 1 and finally got it recognized in XP. I set it active. What's the best way to make it the boot partition? There's nothing on it right now. I could use the help. Maudman

    Raid 0 to raid 1 conversion?

    Is there a way to convert 2 SATA RAID 0 array disks to Raid 1 without destroying the data? Probably not but it sure would be handy. Maudman

    RAID 0 install w/o floppy

    I don't have a floppy drive and I want to install 2 SATA drives in RAID 0 config. Can I use the old HDD to provide the drivers or does it HAVE to be on a floppy? Appreciate any help.

    RAID 0 SATA

    Anybody running this combo? Is it blazing fast or a slight improvement? It sure sounds tempting and both my Asus mobos support it. Maudman

    Turn down swap file?

    With a gig of 2700 DDR has anyone tried turning the swap file down to maybe 20 meg or turning it off all together? Would the system (XP Pro) go slow as hell or be forced to use the memory? Maudman

    CPU fan enigma

    CPU (AMD 3000+ XP) temp at idle was about 52C and 61C gaming. Ordered fans and heatsinks and they would not run with the Asus mobo. Run for a second and shutdown. I figured that since the electronics were in the fan I might get a little more cooling from the copper heatsink and the old fan...

    Digital Vibrance/Color Correction GeForce 3

    Dual Boot XP and 98

    My buddy just got his super system with Win XP on it. He wants a dual boot to Win 98. I did it the other way around and it works fine. Can he do this without formatting?

    Moving and Copying Partitions

    I'm putting in an IBM 60 Gig HDD to take over the main duties on my new box. Trouble is that my 5400 RPM drive has the C: and D: partitions that right now are REALLY highly optimized. C: has Win 98 and D: has Win XP. The question: Once I put in the larger and faster HDD how do I move all of each...

    Seagate ATA 100

    My question is that I have a Seagate UDMA 100 5400 RPM Hard Drive and have been reading in forums that you have to trigger the 100 MB burst mode on ATA 100 drives with special software. Is this the usual case? I've found software like that on the Seagate site that has to be run in DOS mode. My...

    AGP 2 card in AGP 4 slot. BIOS Settings?

    Should I have AGP 4 enabled in my Award BIOS? It's a Xtasy 6594 GeForce 3 AGP 2 card with 64 meg of DDR RAM. Should I shadow the video RAM?

    XP=performance hit on Video cards?

    I'm running a Hercules prophet 2 mx with 32 meg of RAM on it. In Win 98 I bench at 156 MP/S. In Win XP I bench at 96 MP/S. Any other cards taking a hit in XP? BTW, I've tried XP and Win 2000 drivers.

    CPU clock speed and voltage

    I'm not sure what to set the core CPU speed to. I have a MS-6330 motherboard with Award BIOS. It runs from 5-12.5. They said in the manual that 100 X 7 =700 MHz. Since I have a 1.33 GHz Athlon wouldn't that speed be set to 10 since I have a 133 FSB? Right now it is set to default. Anybody know...
