Just when I thought all hope had been lost, I get this call from the computer store telling me that my computer is ready. Turns out that the SB Live Value PCI card had been causing the problem and had to be replaced by the SB 128 PCI. No problem as I am currently running some cheap ISA-based audio card on my PII 400! He did tell me, however, that the motherboard is quirky when it comes to installing cards in different slots. He said that he had to reload Windows '98 several times but that the configuration was now "stable." From memory, this is the system that I ended up ordering: PIII 667 Coppermine 133FSB, 256Kb full speed L2 cache ASUS P3V4X (1 AGP4X, 6 PCI, 1 ISA, UDMA66, VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset) 256Mb PC133 SDRAM Main HD - 13Gb Quantum KX UDMA66 7200 Secondary HD - 20Gb Quantum KX UDMA 7200 Pioneer 10X DVD-Rom HP 9100I CD-R/W Matrox G400 Dual Head AGP SB 128 PCI sound card Acer 56K PCI modem card Acer 10/100 NIC ATX Mid Tower case By the way Howard, JW, Zeus and gang, I have only used up 3 PCI slots - still have 3 left for 2 video cards (I'll try 2 ATI Expert '98s) AND A SECOND NIC for networking!!! Will let you all know when I pick it up! It'll probably be Friday or early next week as I want to have a couple of hours to try it out before bringing it home! Sue :)
