s4Brains - the slipstream is just the source cd with SP2 integrated so it installs as SP2 from CD - it's nothing fancy. It is a clean install. Dave Rave - it's not CGA mode , it's basic 640x480 VGA mode I've used to get the box running by hitting F8 at boot up and selecting VGA mode (basically disab...

Might give XP one more try with the Matrox card ... but I think it's time for a 99p start price on eBay for the box

Ok windows 2000 pro does exactly the same thing. I've just also done some research on the GFX cards and they are both 3.3v AGP's .... I used to have an MX4000 in there and never had any problems, unfortunatly this is in my Athlon64 machine now and has to be as it's a 1.5V. Just tried 2000 with the M...

Hi all, Just wondering if I can pick some brains! I've had my BP6 running windows 2003 fine for ages and have recently bought a new athlon to run as the server so thought the BP6 would make a good wee workstation for office apps .... however ... I've a slip streamed SP2 version of XP and it installs...

Here's one for everyone that some people might find interesting. System is BP6 with dual 500's 2x256mb and 128mb ram. I dont use the onboard ide at all apart from a cdrom on the IDE1 for booting. I was using a SIL 0680 ide card for ata133 and that was all fine. I recently added in a VIA 6241 sata ca...

Hi, Has anyone else tried this card with the BP6? It shows in the device listing and can be added under windows but will simply just not boot from or show it's BIOS options! I've even tried the RV BIOS without the HPT crap code and it still does'nt make a difference. No problems with the Silicon Ima...
