I have been thinking of buying one LCD. I have a very nice monitor, and I love tube monitors. LCD monitors have turned me off because nearly all LCD makers don't want to sell backlight for the LCD, and present LCD won't work with HD-DVD due to "systemwide content protection scheme called PVP-OPM"...

Just found this adapter: http://www.cfide.co.uk/compact_flash_ide_adapter_cfide_fdd.shtml It lets you connect a compactFlash memory card to your IDE interface, to act as a permanent storage (hard disk). Anyone any experience of this technology and can comment on performance versus a 'normal'...

I'm looking for a replacement for my current wireless keyboard & mouse. I need a multi-media type with volume control, one which has a decent range, a nice feel to it and a five button mouse. My present one is 27Mhz and regularly fails to receive key presses despite it only being a couple of...

Here is an idea for the future which could buy some time with increasing computer performance: Start designing entire computers which are very heat tolerent. So illiminate all components which are low heat tolerent like plastics/pcb's and such. Replace everything with maybe metals or so which...

Been lurking in newsgroups and have just realised its a good idea to have additional partitions on hard drives. Glad to have opinion/ideas on how best to manage this. I have two hard drives installed, neither of which have more than one partition...and both only about 5% used at the mo:- C:...

For listening to the occasional MP3, sports video clips (like ESPN) and such. The speakers on my LCD are pretty puny and not really loud enough to hear much. I don't have a sound card so standard mother board connections are all I have available. The mother board has VT1708 high-def with a...

Hello fellow enthusiasts, I finally did the work of moving a 'system reserved' partition from a Win10 HDD to my 240GB SSD, in front of the Win10 C:\ partition, and now, with the help of EasyBCD, I was able to boot SSD and remove the original install HDD. By today's standards a 240 GB SSD is...

I have been trying to upgrade the video on my ol' emachine 700 id. According the the e4me.com website, the mobo should autodetect the PCI (Radeon 7500 64MB). I have went into BIOS and disabled the video on mobo and switched it to PCI but it still wants to go back to onboard video. After I do...

I am thinking of upgrading from a aging Compaq Deskpro to a new PC desktop for home use. I use the PC for a lot of Photoshop work and I have a Canon slide scanner attached that is a SCSI device. My question is do the new PCs support SCSI controllers? I look at the specs for the PCs and none of...

Hi, I will try once more. I did not get the answer I need: This PCI card says it will work with DOS. Also, using MSD I can get the computer to recognize the card, remap the IRQ and use the right address (I have disabled the built-in ports except LPT1 to make sure this doesn't have an impact)....

Please don't use RAID-5 in database applications if high performance is one of your objectives. Better use RAID-10 (combination of mirroring and striping) at the expense of 50% diskspace for redundancy. Looking at the number of disks I suppose scsi is the way to go. Dell makes some pretty decent...
