Do SATA drives act like SCSI in offloading the work done to access the disk from the CPU to the controller card? How about USB2? -- PeteCresswell

Is there any such thing as a laptop with screen less than 10", but with resolution greater than 1024 x 600? Or am I wasting my time looking? First thing that comes to mind is the technology of LCD screens - maybe some lower limit on pixel size... -- PeteCresswell

My 901's battery seems tb on the way out. It's down to about an hour's use per full charge. Can the existing battery pack be rebuilt using generic cells? Or should I just order a new one? -- PeteCresswell

Is there a utility that I can use to set RTC Alarm on a headless server while Windows Home Server is up and running - instead of having to pull the box out of the closet, install a video card, hook up a monitor, and boot into the BIOS utility? -- PeteCresswell

Running Windows Home Server on the box. Downloaded/installed "VIA_Audio_V6018200d_WinXPVistaWin732.zip" from Asus' support pages. My Computer | Computer Management | Device Manager | Sound, video and Game controllers shows: Audio Codecs Legacy Audio Drivers

I've run Skype on this thing before, no problem. But now Skype is telling me that it is not running fast enough to support a Skype call. Nothing besides Skype is running. Anybody been here? -- PeteCresswell

Just troubleshot a family member's PC. ASUS mobo (so now we're on-topic....) They reported periodic system freezups (supported by many, many Event log entries). They also reported that it took them 5-6 tried to get the thing to boot (pulling the AC power plug between tries). I noticed it was...

Anybody know if this mobo supports WOL? It's a server, and I don't want to open up the closet, shut down, add a video card, add a monitor, and restart to look at the BIOS. Tangentially, what do I look for in, say "SystemInfo" or other apps that teas out all the hardware props? Something on...

I just added a new drive cage to a WSH box I am using to back up my NAS box. Total drives to be 13 (a system drive plus 12 data drives) It only has to run intermittently - when I do my weekly backups of media files. Current PS is rated for 580w and, steady-state the box is pulling high fours,...

My 901 running Windows XP (originally came w/Linux) has exactly what I hoped for when I ordered it: - Convenient form factor for a "walking-around" PC - Great battery life - Good durability (no moving parts save the fan) But now I've taken to running something called SageTV PlaceShifter on it.

Anybody else running XP on a 901 with Windows Updates being applied? Sometime in the last two weeks, my 901 became basically useless bco really, *really* poor response time - as in 5 minutes to boot up instead of 27 seconds and a lot of 100% CPU usage by apps that didn't used to do that. I've got...

P4P800-E Deluxe. Goes to sleep via Memorex keyboard's "Sleep" key/command. Wakes up when the power switch is pressed. But does not wake up if the mouse is moved or a keyboard key pressed. Normal behavior? Or is there some BIOS setting that I can adjust? --

P4P800-E, Windows XP Pro. Lots of VPN. Every other day or so the system just freezes and has tb cold-started. I checked AsusProbe's temp charts, but don't see anything out of the ordinary at freeze time. Would anybody venture a guess on the probability that it's still the motherboard and not...

P4P800E-Deluxe. Power consumption used to drop from 200+ to near zero when it went into sleep mode. That was with a CRT monitor. Swapped the CRT out for a SONY LCD. Seemingly coincident (not 100% sure) with the swap, sleep mode has started eating more like 100 watts.

P4P800E, Pentium-4 @3ghz, 1 gig memory, internal SATA system drive, internal SATA data drive. Windows 2000 Pro. Is there anything that will give me significantly/perceptibly faster performance when doing things like converting video files, opening up applications, and editing images? Not...

I've got a couple of Radeon 7000's that do what I need done - which isn't much - except that they have one digital and one analog output. My last CRT monitor finally went to monitor heaven... so they're all LCD now and 100% digital would add some clarity to the monitors that are now on the analog...

Old Memory: two 512-meg Crucial DDR 400 New Memory: four 1-GB Crucial DDR UNBUFF DIMM 128mx64 At initial boot with the new memory the MB issued something about not buying the existing over clocking settings (which I never set - I assume there was something set at the factory). I hit F2 "To...

P5Q SE2, just put it together, but it won't start. Turn power on, hit Power switch.... Nada. The little green LED on the mobo is glowing but the power supply's fan is not on and neither is the CPU fan. I tried reversing the leads on the panel/power switch connection but no luck. I think the...

My keyboard's been stuck in Fn mode for weeks now. Finally got a replacement keyboard and put it in. Oops!.... No change. This smells strongly of user RCI to me. Can anybody suggest something dumb that I might be doing - or not doing?

No battery, just AC. Is there any way to trick my eee901 into automagically starting up after power has failed and then restored. I don't see anything in BIOS, but if it could be set to do that, this device would have a home, otherwise, it's just sitting around... -- Pete Cresswell
