A home theater project, eh? Some generic suggestions for any home theater setup: Graphic card with TV-out. Don't forget that AGP slot of a BP6 is the old style and that most newer AGP cards aren't compatible. I have an older ATI Radeon VE (a.k.a. 7500 series) card that seems to work quite well. A co...

Re: Johnny 5's older brother back from the dead!

I am awaiting my "new" 1100E from "down-under" for another shot at dual PIII's. jaybird jaybird, I'm hoping you are willing to clarify something for me.

Gentlemen, I'm quite confused. It is my understanding that the HPT366 controller is not compatible with optical drives (unless I'm thinking of an add-in ATA controller card that is installed in a different machine.) I do not believe I have sucessfully connected a drive to the HPT366 that was not a h...

What manner of device is it that you are attempting to connect to the USB port when the system locks up?

Re: Question about XP Media Center Edition 2005
My question is this, can I "upgrade" my BP6 with this version of XP and will it "see" true dual cpu's? Hi. I don't think WinXP Media Center will see "true" dual processor CPU's. Isn't WinXP Home Ed. capable of responding to dual core CPU's even though it does not support two separate chip CPU's? I ...

put your theme, and then in System Restore make Restore Point! Then boot, and see if it's still default Lune or your Win Classic theme! KliK, Tried this long before you suggested it. Messing around with restore points doesn't make any difference with the problem. I thought about changing the kernel...

KliK, It sounds to me like you had multiple versions of HighPoint drivers simultaneously installed In the Windows folder which resulted in a corrupt installation. Let's hope that others are not similarly faced with such a goofed up situation and find it necessary to follow your instructions. I have ...

KliK, Aha! The thought just occurred to me that the difficulties that you describe could be the result of failing to install HighPoint Device drivers in WinXP or improperly installed device drivers. In WinXP's device manager you should have (2) instances under the tab "SCSI and Raid controllers" of ...

Re: now I'm totally confused!
so can anybody tell me, can there be more that 2 HDD on UDMA setting?! maybe that is the problem... Yes, more than (2) UDMA drives are supported by "most" controllers. I have not tried this with the HPT366 so I cannot say with certainty that this controller supports multiple UDMA drives. s4brain qu...

KliK, The best solution that I can offer you without hands-on access to your PC is to suggest that you buy a Promise or Maxtor brand "Ultra 100" ATA adapter card and attach your drive to it once you have installed the card in your PC. Promise Tech made the cards for Maxtor and they are the same exce...

The WD utility is labeled "Data Lifeguard Tools". The most recent version I have is "10." There may be newer versions available. My WD drive is an old 40 GB model. I have HighPoint configured for "UDMA 4". Hehe, I had never bothered to benchmark anything before this discussion began. I downloaded "H...

KliK, 1) If I remember correctly, WD drives are shipped with a software utility which allows users to enable or disable UDMA performance for a specific drive. The utility works only in DOS and it is supplied on a bootable diskette. Use this utility to verify that UDMA has not been disabled on your d...

KliK, The BIOS files located on the HighPoint page you refer to are for add-in expansion boards only. The application "load.exe" is a program to flash HighPoint's expansion boards. This application cannot be used to change the BIOS on your motherboard. Keep in mind that the "RV" BIOS was created by ...

WinXP Pro SP2 won't restore "desktop theme" w/SMP
Hi, I inherited my BP6 as a castoff from my nephew and since the I first got it up and running I have experienced what I would classify as a nuisance problem. When XP boots, it comes up with the default desktop theme (Lune?) even though I have repeatedly set "Windows Classic" as my preferred theme. ...
