It is a 12 gig quantum bigfoot, I have 1 100by 64 dimm in the 0 slot for now, bus is at 100, it has a AMD k6-2 500AFX 2.2v core 3.3 I/O [brand new] also have same cpu used, acts the same with either installed. Aztech MDP 7800 fax/modem card, Apollo 7400 video card,Ether 16 lan card, [for cable internet],ES 1869 sound card, I also have a 6 gig bigfoot HDD but does the same with it as the 12 gig. It came with a bigfoot HDD when new and also a AMD k6-2 400 CPU when new. The HDDs have been formated and have 1 partition on them. I have tryed it with all the card removed but the Dimm and still the same, also cards worked in this PC when I tested them, HDDs checked out ok when scanned and was useing the 6 gig in this PC for a while. I also have the updates downloaded for board on floppy but it won't read anything for disks I can start it with 98 boot and 98 install cd disk in it and it is the same as when no disks are in it. It seems to do all the normal stuff when started just like this old PC with the one short beep and the keyboard lights and cdrom light and floppy light flash on and off and screen comes up with installed stuff and I can get into setup if I want but it stops on the next screen with verifying DMI data pool........... with a curser flashing under that. and that is as far as it goes, nothing will cause any thing to happen, no disks, or keyboard buttons will change anything, so basicly, I have had 2 different HDDs, 2 CPUs 2 different CD roms,[both work in this PC] different cables to floppy and CD rom/HDD, power supply checked out by computer shop, battery in board, different boot sequences in set up, Dimm stick is brand new, so I am stumped. How should I set up the thing if not at 100 speed? TomW
