Still wrestling this machine, trying to get a good boot out of it. Progress so far is that Win2K-AS boots fine on first install but as soon as I install DirectX9 it keels over with exactly the same symptoms as WinXP/2K3-AS. Which kinda suggests its a DX/Graphic driver problem of some sort. So I’ve downloaded new drivers from Abit, ready to install now. Not sure where to turn next (I’m reasonably confident new vga drivers aren’t going to help). Probably dig through the big box of useful things to see if I’ve still got a PCI graphics card there somewhere…doubt I’ll have anything manly enough to have DX drivers, but its worth a go, isn’t it?
