Hi guys, I am looking to buy a new 19" TFT to replace my ageing 14" Compaq! Basically i am lookin to spend no more than £180 and require a good quality monitor that will have a low response time, at least 1280 x 1024 / 75Hz and ideally have a 3 year on-site warranty. I'd like to use this for web...

I consider to buy this LCD: LG Flatron 194WT Would you recommend this one? TIA!

My existing monitor is on its last legs and I'm looking at replacing it with a 19" LCD but..... I don't play games and I don't watch DVD movies on my PC so is there any advantage or benefit to spending a bit extra and getting a 19" widescreen monitor or am I just as well sticking to the...

Found in a recycle bin: 1992 Micro House Encyclopedia of Main Boards, Volumes 1 - 4 and R (a reference quide). I think there's a volume X, an index of some sort, but I haven't seen it. We're talking ~2000 pages of 286s, 386s, and 486s (and a few 8088s) -- configurations, jumper settings, and...

Hi all. im planning for a new machine now.. just wondering whether i should spend the extra $$ on faster cpu or extra ram. ie p4 2.8 with 1G ram or p4 3.0 with 512mb ram which setup is better say in 2 yrs time.. this machine is mainly for multimedia use. dont intend to play 3d games here...

Hi All, Been reading the group for a quite a while, and now its time to ask a question myself :-) I recently bought a 1gb stick of DDR 400. Realised too late that I maybe should have bought 2 x 512 DDR400 so that I had 1 memory controller working on each 512 stick. This is something I have...

I currently have 2 sticks of 256MB DDR memory in my machine and I want to increase this to at least 1GB. Am I better off getting two matching 512MB sticks or buying a single 1GB stick and leaving one of the 256MB sticks in place. The first scenario gives me a total of 1GB but theoretically...

I just recently bought and installed a 1gb pc3200 400mhz ddr non ecc Standard (high density) memory stick in my dell dimension 2400, however my coputer only recognizes 512 ram of it. Priot ot the upgrade it just had the stock 256 stick in the other slot. I left the stock ram in when I upgraded. Any...

hi there i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the ezcool usb memory stick. I picked one up for $30 from a computer store (1gb model) but have found the write speeds are incrediable slow. i have tried formatting the unit several times but this has not helped, i have also tried...

I don't have any specs for my friends system, except that it currently has 128meg of memory and a 1Ghz Celeron CPU. I've got some spare parts and want to do some upgrades, so I'd like to know what possible senarios I could run into. I don't expect detailed replies, just a general "what might it...

Hi, I have a 1RU rackmount server chassis and i am having trouble fitting a 3Ware RAID IDE card to a Supermicro Mainboard. It does not seem to have the necessary clearance from the PCI slots on the MB to connect the IDE cables to the 3Ware card once the cables are connected.

Dell Inspiron about 6 yrars old. First startup or waking from sleep, in a given day, and the CD drive is "jazzed" up then coasts back down taking a couple of seconds. Makes no difference if the drive has a disk or not. In the paast I noted this only infrequently, about every month or so, but now...

Hey Guys, I am planning to build my first computer. It will mainly serve as a gaming computer, as well a school tool. The OS will be Windows XP Pro (from my old computer). Here are my core components, first revision: ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AMD 64 X2 5000+ Windsor Geforce 7950GT...

This is the 1st time that I have built a machine, so I'm a bit queasy bout it, but pumped over getting a lot of power for ~$1,000. I am especially concerned about whether my tentative choices for the case, mobo, cpu, and RAM look OK. Above-all, I want long-term reliability with decent power. Will...

Any thoughts? Existing system is PATA only, PCI & AGP, no PCI-E. PATA drives seem rare and relatively expensive for the amount of storage you get and at maximum seem to be 500GB. If I want to upgrade this machine to 1TB the only feasible way looks like external firewire drive plus firewire card....

I see a few good buys (?) out there for large internal sata hard drives. Will a normal BIOS handle 1TB? Will XP SP2? Or are mods necessary? Duke

Hi, I am looking for the 1U Server case with capability to hold the most amount of harddisks everything else doesn't matter. Can someone help me with this? Thank you!

Ich suche nach dem 1U Server case in das am meisten Festplatten passen. CD-Rom etc. is nicht notwendig. Könnt ihr mir da helfen? Danke!

I cannot get my comp. to boot when I install the second CD. Worked fine when I put it together, frigged around with it, now I can see both CD's in the BIOS but when XP starts to load, It just hangs at the opening screen for XP. Both CD's will work when installed alone. I have tried master/ slave,...
