    Time to buy a new video card...opinions on a wallett friendly card

    Uh, I beg to differ. The Sapphire Radeon 9500 Pro that I'm running now blows the doors off of the Ti-4200 128mb card it replaced. Much better visual quality, Directx 9 support and it doesn't take so much of a hit when using anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering. I love it.

    GF4 Crashes PC constantly! tried everything I can think of

    You could try removing and reseating your video card and memory. Also just because you have umpteen fans doesn't mean your processor heatsink is cooling properly. What's your CPU temp.? There should be a PC health or something like that page in your BIOS.

    Do you have AGP 8X support enabled in your BIOS? Also make sure your memory timings are set properly.

    ReInstall XP after going from an ATHLON to an XP

    Just changing the processor should cause no problems because all new parameters should be set on the BIOS level. Changing the motherboard to one with a different chipset is a whole other story.

    Dual boot to 98 after installing XP first

    When setting up for dual booting you must install the older operating system first. In your case windows98. I myself ran fdisk and split my 40gb HD in half.You can either enter a size or a percentage. I then installed win ME on the first partition (C). Then while booting from the winXP cd it...

    Need help with PC "freezing up" problem...

    Is your power supply of sufficient size? 300 watts for an Athlon. Early Thunderbirds ran hotter to the larger die size.That seems in range. Are all your add-in cards seated properly? Do you have proper air flow through the case itself? Do you have up to date sound and video drivers?

    CPU FSB?? FSB?? clock multiplier?

    You are correct, sir! Some PCI devices could possibly cause instability at the higher bus speed. If instability arises try removing PCI devices one at a time to find the offending hardware.

    BIOS doesnt detect my 40Gb hdd full capacity

    You'll have to either divide the hard drive into multiple partitions if you can't get a bios update for your motherboard.

    Corrupt Display with New Hercules 3D Prophet GeForce 3

    Make sure the card is seated properly. Check your agp aperture size in bios. Does your motherboard support agp4x? I don't know if the GeForce3 will work in an agp2x slot.

    strange boot problems

    Make sure all expansion cards are seated properly. Also memory modules. Could also be a bad power supply.

    Scanning software

    PaperPort Deluxe ver.8.0 does everything for me. It lets you scan directly to other applications such as photo editing and e-mail programs. Of course it also has all options for adjusting scanned images.
