12/6/98 From the shop... I've been
asked if the Epox EP51-MVP3C-M and EP-58MVP3-M Super7 motherboards support
AMD 350 Mhz K6-2 processors. The answer is yes... However,
there is timing problem with the OSR2.X release of Windows 95. MORE

11/8/98 The Abit BH6 Pentium II
motherboard is easy to install and is absolutely stable with a
450 Mhz processor. Everything about it--layout, capacitors,

10/29/98 From the shop... If
you work with Western Digital hard disk drives you should have a copy of WD
Diagnostics. MORE

for a network file server, the AOpen HX08 full-tower
case, with a 13-drive capacity and a 300 Watt ATX power supply,

10/23/98 Give me a MODEM which is economical,
works well and is one I can control. By control I mean a MODEM with
jumpers and a wide selection of IRQ and port address options. The AOpen
FM56-ITU FAX/MODEM meets these requirements. MORE
10/22/98 Back in the "old" days
(late 1980's) when we were building XT and AT clones we went through quite
a few keyboards looking for the right one. We found it and have been
using the Focus Electronic 2001 keyboard ever since. MORE

10/9/98 (Revised). Free! If you have
an Epox motherboard, you can make your UltraDMA hard disk drive run much(!)
faster. Benchmarks affirm my initial reaction: simply incredible! You
may encounter a problem installing the driver. MORE
10/9/98 (Revised). Let me tell you about
a Super7 Baby AT motherboard with first rate quality: the Epox EP-58MVP3C-M. The
layout of this board is one of the best I've seen. The engineers
at Epox must have visited shops like mine to come-up with a product truly
designed to make the life easier for people who work on computers. Installation
is a snap. Add a 300 Mhz K6-2, compatible PC100 memory, Western Digital
UDMA hard disk, the Epox/Highpoint bus-master UDMA driver, and AGP 3D and
you will have a screaming Super7. MORE
