Pastimes : Dream Machine ( Build your own PC ) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Hi guys - i need some advise. I'd like to upgrade my PC (Intel CC820, PIII-500, Win2K, mainly used for video editing with promise fasttrack ATA/100 raid 0). I found a decent deal for a ASUS A7V mb and a AMD Thunderbird 1GHz CPU. This would be the first time for me to use an AMD cpu. Do you think this is a good choice or should i stick with the pentiums ? best Jurgen

John, >>"On my Win2000 system I put my Diamond V770 AGP card and V550 PCI card in and it works but when I reboot all my messages show up on the secondary monitor and the primary monitor doesn't even come on until the desktop appears."<< Did you check your motherboard setup (CMOS) to see if the video setup was set to PCI as primary monitor? Some setup will show AGP/PCI (AGP as primary and PCI as secondary) or PCI/AGP (PCI as primary and AGP as secondary). You'll need to change the order to correctly set your primary monitor. Some motherboard will simply show primary as AGP or PCI (more straight forward). Hope it helps. MS
