    Are there system boards without extras?

    The added features are almost "free" anyways as most of the capabilities are built into the main chipsets. All that's needed to implement is a small chip that is basically just the interface to the outside world (called a PHY or physical layer) that connects to the sockets or headers for...

    Power supply not powerful enough?

    Actually almost any system could run on a TRUE 350W PSU as long as the power was distributed among the rails properly for the system it is in, as most systems actually use less than - 250WDC. . I would also try replacing the fan first - I do it all the time. www.bgmicro.com is a good place to...

    Share One Computer to Multi-user simutaneously

    There are also add-on cards that supply video, kbd and mouse connections for several users. It's been a while since I looked them up but if you google on- multi user windows -you will probably find them. .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Problem Installing CD RW on a IDE Promise controller card

    I went to the promise site and looked - the card he has is supposed to support ATAPI. It almost has to be in the cable or jumpers. .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Problem Installing CD RW on a IDE Promise controller card

    Yes you can use M/S settings with a cable select cable - the CS feature of the cable is just ignored. .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Plextor 708UF does not meet specifications

    Well, you probably have the first version of Nero that supported that drive. Just a fact of life - one has to keep one's software updated. At least it's a free download - all 20MB of it... .bh. --------------- He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Two harddrives - how to distinguish?

    Same to ya (whatever it means)! Anyone who can't find the truth of that saying must be another victim of the govt. juvenile detention system (aka the public school system). .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    strange printer issue need quick response pls

    I assume you have checked for updated drivers and in the FAQ on minolta's web site? And that you have w2k up to date with SPs, etc. .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Two harddrives - how to distinguish?

    I forgot, you might be able to tell in Device Manager. .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Two harddrives - how to distinguish?

    Just an educated guess here. It is most likely the drive that your boot manager is loading from (whichever is set as boot drive in your BIOS - IDE or SCSI). .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Plextor 708UF does not meet specifications

    You may need to update your burning software or even bump to the next version. Nero 5.x is pretty out of date re. DVD burners. Nero 6.x has been out for quite a while - check the hardware support lists on nero.com. should be at least ver. 5.5.10.49b and actually should be updated to the latest...

    Two (or more) Dial Up modem connections

    I think Win XP has something built in to bind two modems. I've never heard of binding three. But you might be able to use two pairs... .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Problem Installing CD RW on a IDE Promise controller card

    What kind of cable are you using? It should be an 80-wire cable (some should have come with the controller) and the blue end plugged into the card. . Jumper the drive to Master (does not work like hard drives - 0ne jumper must be in place at all times - either Master, Slave, or CableSelect. The...

    How to format a CD-RW automatically or in a Batch job

    Roxio's DirectCD is supposed to format CD-RW on the fly.. but it only works within Windows as most CD writing software does. .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Calling all SmartLink 1900 and Intel/Ambient w/DSP based modem users.

    I'm interested in trying a new modem. I've heard some good things about modems based on the recent SmartLink 1900 and the Intel/Ambient with DSP chipsets. So I'm soliciting the opinions of any who are already using them. Specifically re. performance of v.92 and MOH features/aplets, usability...

    56K Modem - Minumum Connection

    Phone companies in the states usually don't guarantee data connections at higher than 14.4kbps. You said you connected directly to the box where the phone line comes to the house and it didn't do any better? If that's the case, then it's not the house phone wiring causing the trouble. . How are...

    Tweak 56K modem

    There is a section here specifically for modem problems. "Communications Rack - General Modem Discussion". But modemsite.com also has useful info. .bh. He who dares not offend cannot be honest. -- Thomas Paine.

    Missing case fan (maybe more) from ML 330e

    There's a difference between 4-pin and 4-wire, paparazi... IAC, you could probably make a standard 3-pin fan work (splice wires!!!) if you can determine the pinout. Only the speed won't be able to be controlled by the computer - it would just run full speed. I'm 99% sure all you would really...

    installing an OEM hdd

    You can download everything you need to install an OEM drive from the mfr's web site excepting, of course, any hardware bits you might need - instructions with jumper settings and setup/file transfer utilities, etc. Makes the job easy. . The drives are just the same as the ones you would find in...

    Hardrive "partitions" questions....?

    I have three physical drives with logical drives C: - L: on them - I believe in partitoning to protect data and the OS partitions. I set aside one logical drive just for swap files (virtual memory) and scratch (TEMP/TMP) directories (including the "Temporary Internet Files" folder), printer...
