Before I do this... DirectX

Alright. I'm still going to try to update the BIOS though, its a bit old.

Bios updates are higly unadvised unless your motherboard absolutely needs one to support a new CPU for example. If it worked before a BIOS fix will most likely not fix anything but risk porking your hardware permanently.

If it ain't broken don't fix it - was invented when the first BIOS was coded on prom.

Alright. Then I shall leave the BIOS alone and start considering the next computer to build. *Sigh*

By the way, even though Windows 2000 only sees 117 GB of my HD, can I still load up to 250 GB onto it?

You can if you use something else to format the drive - or build a slipstreamed installation disk with SP4 built in. W2k older versions do not support large disks. My recommendation would be to switch to XP by now it's well matured and now is about last times to get a license legally before Zissda is forced down on our throats.

Can't afford it at the time being.

I'll probably ask my friend who installed Windows 2000 to install XP Pro on it at a later time. He's a busy person, and asking him to reformat my system for the third time in 3 months just isn't polite.

Issue resolved.

Updated to the latest drivers from the NVIDIA website. Working VERY nicely now. Thanks again for all your help.
