anyone know if the digitalFX skin will work on this board? earlier in this thread, i believe someone had mentioned that it was NOT supported...but this person was not sure whether it was a mobo related issue, or something to do on the software side (ie. drivers, directX-3d stuff...etc..)
anyone tried this skin out using the d201gly??? any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

I won't have time today, but I can load DFX2 tomorrow and let you know how it works.
I really don't see why it wouldn't work. Its handled everything else I've thrown at it with no problems at all. I'm guessing it probably couldn't do Crysis though...

I've been running RR and DFX 2.5 for months with no problems.
I'm courious, how could a skin not run because of the motherboard? Is that even possible?

He was worried about DirectX and/or Flash support. The SiS graphics chipset on this board only supports DirectX 7. And some other people were concerned that the limited graphics capabilities might hinder flash animations etc.
But... just cause the chipset is DX7 doesn't mean it can't run DX9, it just won't support all of the latest versions of the shaders etc. And this board really handles flash without any problems.
So there's your answer Hennessey, it will run DFX just fine.

I've been using RR and DigitalFX with this board, with WinAmp Visualizations and Destinator 6. Everything works excellent!

just ordered a d201gly2 earlier this afternoon. they are out there and relatively cheap. i wish they show up on the mp3car store as part of the integrated packages sometime soon...i feel bad broadcasting the name of the place that carries it...but i guess since the store doesn't even have them up yet...PM me, if interested in finding out where they can be found...

Yes it does, question is, does your monitor TRUELY support 800x480. I have this board, supports it no problem, my lilliput is supposed to be native 800x480 but the screen is to wide and is a known problem. The SIS utility could be more robust to support H&W adjustment however.
I run at 800x600 just fine.

The same issue here, Lilliput does not display 800x480 correctly, so I end up using 800x600...

Question: I have a 2gig stick of PC2 6400 running at 800Mhz (manually set in the bios). It is probably overkill, but all I had in my spare parts box at the time. I assume that in Hibernate, XP writes the memory to the HD and then reloads that image back to the memory when it comes out of hibernation. Do you think I would see a quicker reboot if I used 512mb instead of 2gb? Mine seems slower than some of the times posted here by others. I'm curious if 256mb would run. Just need the minimum for this project. Anyone tried something as low as 256?
Additionally, since the recent conversation regards the resolution, I run a VM70 and mine won't do 800X480 either. I can't expand the phase enough to fill the screen. 800X600 runs fine, but of course, all the vids and pics are elongated.

Yes, less RAM will probably translate into quicker hibernate/resume times. However, with the 2GB stick you have a few options. Check out this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/108393. You can set the maximum memory that XP can use to 512MB-1GB which will speed up the hibernate cycle. Then you could find a RAMDrive utility to use the remaining 1GB as a RAM based drive. Any files that are copied to the RAMDrive after bootup will take virtually no time to load the next time you access them.
Or... you could just downgrade the physical RAM in your system.

When the machine is waking from hibernation it will read from disk and write back to memory, right? Let's say your PC has 2GB of RAM but is only using 300MB of it.
Will the hibernation file contain 300MB of data or 2000MB?

If you've specified in boot.ini that it is only allowed to use 300MB and that is why that's all it using, then the hibernation file will only be 300MB.
If you haven't specified anything and it is only by chance that its using only 300MB, then the hibernation file will be 2GB. That's why using more ram takes more time. It will take a lot longer to write the 2GB file to disk and read it back.
