Question - Linksys WMP110 PCI network adaptor by Frederick
I found this adaptor and wonder if it is of any use to me. It only has one antenna (top) - the other antenna is missing. I do have a wireless router, and it would be great if my computer could connect wirelessly. No point trying if I need both or the other antenna(s). Thanks Big Fred

My PC (Core 2 duo 8400 @ 3.6 Ghz, 4 GB Corsair DDR2, Intel SSD, XP Pro) normally boots in 12 sec (from POST to Windows welcome screen). After mounting a Matrox RT-X100 video card, the boot time has increased to 45 sec. That means 33 seconds just for identifying a single card ! Once booted, the...

Small Form-factor Power Supply Failure by Grinder
I've got a Dell Inspiron 531S -- one of those slimline desktops -- that will not power up, nor show any sign of life. Pulling the power supply and hooking up a known good unit permits the machine to boot normally. Putting one of those power supply testers on the suspect PSU shows normal...

thermal paste and overheating, cause and effect? by micky
Is it true that: Not only can uneven (missing on both surfaces in some areas), dried-out white thermal paste after the heat sink is removed be a symptom of a CPU that overheated, it can also be the cause of the overheating in the first place instead. ?? If that's true, and if one wasn't...

Flatbed scanner speeds by Pimpom
I have a very occasional need for a flatbed scanner. For about the same price, I can get either a new no-frills entry-level scanner or a used HP Scanjet 6300c. The HP 6300c is an old model that was, according to reviews, a versatile and blazingly fast mid-range model when it was new 10 years ago....

2400+ by micky
I see a lot of sentences like this: I own a A7M266 motherboard and it runs with an Athlon XP 2400+ . Does 2400+ mean a 2.4 GHz cpu, and 1200 means 1.2GHz.? It might be obvious to some, but the two nomenclatures seem more separate than a most synonmyous terms are, if indeed they are synonymous.
