Well, I'm fiddling all day long with that HDD problem but no solution yet. Someone told me to press F6 while Windows setup is loading, to install third party S-ATA drivers. But I don't know where to find drivers to put on the Floppy.
Anyone knows a better solution? It's really slows down my whole work, I tried it for 3 hours now... no luck. -------------------- Former "Uber"-Administrator.

I think this site might be pretty useful for ya Homer
 QUOTE You should have a floppy with raid/sata driver on and when installing Windows you get a quick passing "hit F6 to install driver" as you are goinf into XP setup...and that is what you need to do. if you don't have floppy, go to motherboard mfgr site and download it.

Okay got it working, wasn't the problem with the drivers. I just had to set up the different partitions via XP installation.

Trivial Question #234:
I clicked exit by accident on my Nvidia system tray icon and now it's gone (even after reboot)  Any ideas how to get it back? (I left it on full AF+AA  )

Rightclick on Desktop - select properties - settings - enhanced (I don't know if it is called like that in English, I just have the German XP version) - select the video card tab and then you can enable it somewhere again... I guess you'll find it at "Tools".

Shouldn't you maybe go for a faster videocard too? Or are you waiting for Dx10?

I'd expect it would be better with 2 Cards in SLI/ Crossfire or whatever if you're investing in such a processor, but seeing as you're getting a new one soon..

If you have more than 2000 Euros to spend you should really wait for the new year and buy the coming highend generation VGA-cards and the new mainboards etc.

Sounds good, KH. I have $3,000 AUD to spend = 1,798.89 EUR so I may be a bit short for the next-gen cards.

Well, GF8800 will be your choice and maybe a FX-series AMD CPU.

I looked on the site I ordered my PC from last night, and was surprised to see the Gf8800 added to the list.. Is it a Dx10 card or..? Also, are Gf 7950Gt's the last card in the Gf range before getting into Dx10? (apart from 9750's or whatever they are which are just dual 7950's in one card apparently )

How do you expect us to help you if you don't provide any informational at all? What mods do you use? In what circumstances does the game crash? Have you ever been able to play it? What mods have you installed since being able to play it 'till now? etc..
