hey people,
Four questions, if you'd like to answer great, if not no worries. thanks all.
1)I purchased a GX150 SFF and I have 512MB of RAM, SB0100 sound card and a ATI 128MB Ultra 32MB AGP Graphics Card. Everything is working nice, especially sound in DOS, but no 3D games. I read that some cards don't work in the PCI riser rig due to power issues, so I'm going to grab a 160W power supply for the gx240. Any PCI cards I'm seeing are too big, does anyone have any advice? I've read various sites, but they all seem too big to fit in the PCI riser rig.
2)Also, I noticed that if I let my Windows 98 PC go to sleep, when I press the keyboard or press the power button to bring the system back up, my sound in DOS is no longer available. If I restart the system, BAM it works again. Just curious if anyone has seen that?
3) GX150 - Anyone know what the best Bios is? The website for Dell for the GX150 says up to A11, but when I updated it from A05 it was successful, but the hard drive wouldn't boot, "No OS found". Using a floppy IMG I brought it back to A06 and everything worked. I've read on a few posts that A06 is technically the only one for this hardware.
4) If I can't do anything, I found a good price on a GX240 tower, so that's on the way. Recommended Video Card for that guy?
