A lot of the cards weren't 100% stable (at least with FSAA) until Hank Semenec's PCI re-work mod.

Thanks! I swapped the 3.0Ghz Northwood processor today with this little guy to max out the board - made a bigger difference than I thought with the 3DMark scores. Something is up with 3DMark 99 though - I was expecting like 18000+. And I'm not sure how accurate that 3DMark 2001 SE score is either - …

Thanks! (again) for your compliment! Yeah, the seller of that case didn't indicate that it lit up so it was quite the surprise for me! I usually like discrete setups with clean lines and tidy internals, but this was a pleasant change of pace and that case really dictated the theme, changing the …

I present to you my latest build... " Blackout " (aka - the Y2K build 'Part Deux') For this build, I decided to stick with hardware from the year 2000. Staying true to my 'black' theme for these latest builds, I named this one after the collective fear that ensued during the Y2K rollover. Of course …

Thanks guys! You revived a fairly old thread - lol. I'm just finishing up new build this week that is pretty similar to this in terms of speed, different in terms of hardware. Gonna be cool!
