I have bought this new burner (lite-On LH-20A1l SATA) and it works fine when reading discs, but when it comes to burning, it gives me "Drive not ready" error. Is there some way to fix this? Here is the error report, and notice that under Adapter drive it says IDE, not SATA:

Is there a way to disable gf 8500gt turbocache? I've tried riva tuner and registry tweaks but nothing seems to work. I really want it off because i only have 1.2 GB Ram so I feel conflict when running RAM intensive games.
The card is listed on wikipedia (turbocache list)

ME requires at least a GF 6 series. You have a GF 8 series.

Gog

Says in the readme file that 8500 is below minimum

So, I have bought a new video card, 8500gt from Gainward (a company that has a habit to overclock Nvidia's chips) so the clock is 600 MHz core and 1.2 GHz of GDDR3 memory and shaders. The rest of my rust-bucket is composed out of P4 3.0 fsb800 s.478 ht (pretending to be dual-core), 1.2 GB DDR1 RAM and a very rare motherboard that unites s487 with pcie x16.

I have a dual-boot configuration. (vista ultimate and xp pro), So I was just wondering how come I can play Mass Effect under vista? Maxed out without AA, it gives me 20 FPS lowest, but on the box it clearly says Vista minimum 2 GB RAM and 8500gt below minimum... I do have brief glitches when the game needs to trash and reload RAM, but it's more than playable... Oh, and under xp I can play Crysis on medium without AA and like 2 setting on low... My default resolution for all games is 1024x768.

One last thing... Do games optimised for dual-cores take advantage of ht?

I think that's normal operating temperature for that card. It uses a lot of power and more power = more heat.

Maybe it's a motherboard issue. Try turning off thermal protection (something like that) in your BIOS. Just watch your temps later.
