Hiya Verm,
I sent you an email but it bounced so I sent you a pvt message. Plz check your profile for the message.

It bounced? What email addy did you use?

I got your UBB message, but you didn't leave me an email address to reply to you

Basically, I have had to do nothing special to any of the ECS motherboards I have installed lately, and they all run clean and stable. They're not the best overclockers, but how much can you overclock a Tbird 1.4Ghz anyways?

Mine is a Tbird 1.3Ghz/266 on the ECS K7VZA with standard SDRAM memory and the VIA chipset. The only thing I did beyond install it, was to make sure I had the latest version of the VIA 4 in 1 drivers, and make sure I wasn't sharing any interupts (IRQ's). The only time I've had it croak on me was when I tried to overclock it.

The most recent one I did, was a buddy that bought the Tbird 1.4Ghz/266 with the ECS board that supports both SDRAM and DDR, with the SiS chipset (don't remember the model number on it, I can find out if your interested). The reviews I had read recommend the ECS board with the SiS chipset over the (basically the same) ECS board that has the Ali Chipset. With his we loaded Win2K and it hasn't crashed in the past 2 weeks of use.

Any specific settings you looking for or anything?

On a different note..do you have any plans to update the Med terrain when the new editor comes out?

If not and you still have the source files will you allow me to update it with new textures and strat?

Weazel, as soon as the new editor comes out I will start working on it.

If you want to do some texture work, send me some email ( verm@vermin.net ) and we can work together. Thats one area where I have no skill what so ever.

Thx Verm...was interested to know if you had run into anything unusual that I should know about before the build. I went with the K7S5A
Which supports the sdram and ddr ram. Thx for the info, I sure appreciate it.

BTW the email I used was from your website linked to from your profile...think it was verm@ibm.com. Thx again Verm <S>!
