XL2000 is MUCH different than XL1000

Ok so i just got my xl2000 in the mail right? It turned out to be brand new in manufacturers box, with sealed plastic on everthing. So i get everything set up, and boot up the computer without any hacks or anything. It wont boot; not even a trace of NT4. So I opened her up....

What i expected to see was a DOC, a k6-2 and a HUGE heatsink. WRONG! what i got was an IDE to CF adapter thing with AN 8MB CF DISK in it. After i look around for a while i notice the 400mhz K6-III+ (!!!!) in it with a tiny fan and heatsink. I got all this for $50 BRAND NEW!! Im so happy. A little dissapointed about the DOC though...

Im getting constant blue screens in windows 98; rundll, kernel32, etc... what am i doing wrong?

Hey,

Where were you able to get one of these? I would be interested in getting one. I have an SL2000 and I know the XL series provide more power.

thanks,
Chillywilly

The differences between the two models probably have more to do with the particular configuration the customer ordered from Netier. While there have been revisions to the boards used in the SL and XL machines, I believe that the same board was used in the 1000 and 2000 at any given time.

When customers ordered these, they had a choice of:

- CPU speed
- RAM
- Add-on card (on the 2000) such as modem, PCMCIA reader, etc.
- DiskOnChip
- Hard drive
- Floppy
- CDROM
- Operating system

What this all means is that you can never tell what you're going to get when you buy one of these machines.

As far as the blue screens, you may want to check the RAM. If that doesn't clear the problem, try Windows 2000. With 128MB it seems to be very stable.
