Peter
Hi
I have an AMD64/ASUS K8N-E deluxe based system with a non-AMD cpu fan
(and hence slower, quiter fan). I have problems with the BIOS shutting
down the system shortly after a cold reboot.

1800 rpm means there is a problem....

When adding RAM, does it have to be from the same manufacturer? by
Teh Suck
I currently has 512mb (2x256) of DDR PC-3200 RAM and am looking to add
either another 256 or a 512 to the third slot on my motherboard.
I think the memory I currently have is from Kingston (though I built this
rig so many years ago I can't quite remember).
Do I have to buy a Kingston stick of RAM...

External backup drive question. by
meagain
I replaced my 3 year old Maxtor 80GB with a Seagate 120GB. More than enough
space for my needs.
My question: Is there an enclosure available where I can make the Maxtor a
USB 2 external drive?
I've read of such a thing a while back but I'll be damned if I can find one
now.
Thanks
Rick
