ALL-IN-WONDER® RADEON

I might get one of those.....

Should it be fine taking it's TV input and displaying it on it's TV output?

I think I had problems with this when I had a voodoo 3 3500 so wanted to check.


Thanks! :)

To make it quick and easy just run network setup wizard that can be found on the Windows XP CD. Do this on the XP and 98 computers and just follow the instructions and things should set them selves up well enough to share files.

Are you sure all the hardware's working? Check it by setting up the TCP/IP protocol.

I have an XP machine and two Win 98 SE machines on my lan and everything works fine.

I've continued to experiment and if I run quake2 with the gl library 'softx' then it works. Apparently when it's run through x the svga library isn't used. When I use glx it doesn't work. So it seems the SVGA and GL aren't working :( O, also, the mouse feels terribly sluggish and when I do a timeref...

P700_Src/Peptide to P707_Src/Peptide(Tyr->Ala) require 'more' RAM according to the description (http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/allprojects#700).

I dunno how much 'more' means but I think my XP 1600 seems quite slow at them because it only has 128mb RAM.

Hmmmmmm, I never found out why so I dunno if it will be the same for you but with my old motherboard and PII 233 I couldn't get a voodoo 3 to work (this was AGP though). If oyu go for a voodoo 3 you might be best going with a PCI version.

The one I have is 'proteinAnat' and I just got 'proteinA' on my newer computer. They set time limits on time to submit results though don't they? If 'proteinAnat' is 9 days then I'll be pushing getting it there and all the time wasted! Ah well, I'll see.
