Note that not every revision of the a7n8x deluxe can do 400mhz fsb. Rev. 2.0 (or later) should have no problems but earlier ones may not reach 400fsb stable. It's a common mistake but the early a7n8x deluxe boards are 333fsb boards. It had the nforce2 but the later ones have the nforce2 ultra …

When I think of Windows XP, my inner voice is telling me to go dual core. Instead, I like socket A for a monster Win98 build. Along this route, Vortex 2 card sound can be an option. If you definitely want to use XP, Aureal cards should generally be avoided due to the termination of vendor driver …

Well, to overcome the RAM problem, you can use eatxms do reduce the RAM size in MS-DOS, I use free dos and love it. For HD you can use a Seagate disk and use the dynamic Drive Overlay tool in order to recognize all space. My 386DX40 has an 80GB hard drive all recognized.

What program are you using to create the partitions, are you creating all of them before installing plop, if you create them after you installed plop and have hidden partitions, it will overwrite the partition , and they could possibly corrupt each other, and cause what your experiencing.

PLOP is a great boot manager. It's extremely powerful and configurable. It's also confusing as hell to get it set up correctly. However, once you get it sorted out it works beautifully. I've got a system running PLOP and dual-booting Win98SE and WinXP. Those are the only two partitions and I have …
