I actually have 2 questions,

by americanflyer1 . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

I have built a Soyo PC with the SY-P4IS2 and now as I am setting it up to run I have run Into a problem with the memory modules I have not working for me.I was told that these would work by Soyo and the Online Retailer I bought them from I got 3 1GB PC133 Memory ECC REG. and Buffered by Legacy.Which now I have learned that they do not work in my PC and that I really need is the Same 3 1GB Memory PC133 non registered & unbuffered.I found some made by Simple Tech Premium for 234.99,the others were 149.99 from Outpost.com ,I need to trade what I have for what I need but outpost does not carry 1GB Mem.Modules anymore and I am not sure if Tiger Direct would take them in trade maybe some other company would or I could sell them somewhere online.Help Please.My other question is about the hard drive I bought from outpost a Western Digital 200GB hard drive.I was going to gradually make this my C drive but to get started I put 2 60GB Hard Drives in as C & D both Maxtors,as I using 1 of them as the C drive in my old computer but while setting up with C & D as IDE and the 200GB as an ATA Drive,but the PC would not boot up,and finally got a message Saying this Computer cannot use the C Drive due to no MS-DOS in the drive and that one of the more severe Viruses was in that drive,then I tried using the old D drive and got the same message but some of the MS-DOS was still in this drive.I then put the 200GB Hard Drive as C and then got the Message that the C drive had only 127GB,I do understand that this can happen with Certain Windows Versions but did not see 98se as one of them? Now do I need another 200GB hard drive or a better ATA pci Card at 133 intead of 100 and possibly one designed as a Raid ATA PCI Card this motherboard does have Raid Capability in the form of a chip but using this as a PCI mounted would probably use the onboard Raid?
