New mobo by
philo
My main machine is quite ancient and I've decided up finally break down
and upgrade. My present mobo has a dual core CPU and 6gigs of RAM.
In theory the board supports 8gigs of RAM but in actuality I cannot get
it to work reliably with more than 6gigs. It was so old it did not even
have USB-3 so...

Digital audio by
philo
In all the years I've been working on computers I've never dealt with
digital audio and now I've seen the same problem twice this month.
One machine runs Vista and the person uses it just to run some specific
hardware and the other is a run of the mill Win7 machine.
In both cases, the users...

Another H/W joke I guess by
philo
A friend is going to bring a laptop over that gave a RAM error message.
I told her , so I am sure I have the correct RAM here to give me the
model of the machine:
she said "HP"
Guess I'll find out when she gets here.

[email protected]
I have an old Netgear FA310TX-REV02 Lan Adapter PCI card.
I can't find driver for it for XP or W7. I wud prefer the latter.
All I get when I go to supposed download sites are downloads for
driver upgrade software.
Anyone steer me to a download loc for it? Maybe there is none.
Thanks

linksys ea6350 any way to turn wireless off or on ON router itself? by
R2D4
I just picked up a nice, used Linksys EA6350 at a garage sale.
Definitely faster than the router I have been using, but one thing that
annoys me at many routers is the inability to turn the routers wireless
off an on ON the router itself (NOT in the software). Does anyone know
if this one can,...

External USB hard drive activity question by

I have a hard drive connected to my W10 PC via USB.
It has a green light on it which I assume indicates activity?
Anyway - I just noticed it is blinking madly even though the PC is
sitting on, but unused. Scares me,
What does this mean? Why is there activity? Someone is not on my PC
accessing my...

alternative to Verizon FIOS G-1100 router? by

After having DSL for many years, Verizon installed the 50/50 double play
FIOS yesterday (I got Internet and phone only, no tv nor plan to anytime
soon). They also provided the Fios G1100 router, but I'd prefer to use
my own. I currently had a Netgear N300 left over from another use and I

Lately, I have seen web and YouTube discussions about Xbox 360 teardown and
maintenance. My Xbox 360 dates from 2008, but early on, there was the red
ring of death and it was replaced by Microsoft. Now the DVD drive is a
little flaky and needs encouragement to open/close. It operates in a non...

How did my alarm code change when I never touched it by

How did my alarm code change when I never touched it?
(not a computer but it does have a digitally stored program, and solid
state memory for the settings, less than 1000 bytes, I think.)
About 9 years ago I started to install a burglar alarm, but I didn't

Memory question by
Bill Cunningham[_2_]
I have put a new memory stick into my XP x64. I removed two 512 MB
sticks. This new one is 1024 MB. Why would my system still be saying I have
896 MB of ram? Do I need to do something in BIOS? When I had a 1024 and a
512 MB in there it was showing I had 1.3 GB of ram.
How much Ram can XP...
