Okay here goes. I got a Visiontek Geforce2MX 400 64Mb as a gift. I went to Compusa to return or exchange it and saw the Guillemot KYROII 64Mb on sale for the same price. The Geforce2 MX400 is clocked 200/175 and the KYROII is clocked at 175/175 beyond that I don't read the box for info because it is all hype anyway.

I have looked everywhere for reviews of the geforce2 MX 400 but haven't found any.

Which one is better? Any links or opinions would be appreciated.Very Happy

You don't want to know. I should have left everything alone. It started here

http://www.littlewhitedog.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1441&FORUM_ID=6&CAT_ID=4&Topic_Title=win2k+problem&Forum_Title=OS+%2D+Microsoft

I repaired the error and reloaded the drivers and upon rebooting a second time the error returns.
again i fix the problem and it does it AGAIN.

scan disk shows errors on the harddrive.
How do ya remove a Linux partition by the way?

so here sits the computer silent til i decide to fight with it.

In the mean time i started to build another dual system and the CPU fans won't run. I think that motherboard is f_cked up and maybe the CPUs(two of them)are too.

Could be a long time before sh_t gets straightened out.
