Well... It seems I should just find some cheap PC2700 RAM because it's going to run at the slow buss speed and I won't be able to use it on a new build anyway.

OOPS - didn't realize there was a pin incompatibility! New motherboards I would use to build a new PC are all DDR2, I guess, so my plan won't work.

I have a PC that I built about 5 years ago that uses PC2700 DDR RAM memory. What would happen if I purchased 1.0 gig of the newest spec RAM, say a DDR2 667MHz strip with the same pin configuration as the old RAM and put it in the old PC? Would it just operate at the slower buss speed or refuse...

Success over the weekend and many lessons learned! I looked up AGP compatibility in a couple of techie forums and learned lots about backward compatibility, AGP board pin configurations and what 4X/8X really means. Then I went to my local Fry's and read all the boxes. I found an EVGA 256mb...

I found an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 128MB AGP 4X/8X Video Card for sale on the net... Can anyone confirm that this card should give me a crisp & clear display on my new LCD monitor?

My motherboard is an older (~5yrs) MSI/AMD and I looked up the AGP specs in the book. It will accept up to a 4X AGP video card, I hope I can still find one!

Just got this giant new Sceptre X22 LCD monitor from Costco, hooked it up to my AGP Geforce2 card (old, I know) with an analog cable and I have trouble! The video card will give me a 1600x1028 resolution but the clarity is no good - fonts have jaggies, etc. The native resolution is 1680x1050...

I have increasing times where my PC runs VERY slow and apps often lock up. During these slowdowns, Task Manager shows "svchost.exe" is running at 99% CPU usage. ZoneAlarm log shows svchost.exe is attempting to send packets to an IP address in Sweden! PC reboot resolves problem for a while...

Thanks, I was looking at the majorgeeks web site earlier today.

I believe some kind of browser hijack has occurred on my computer, here's the symptoms: 1. I use the Google toobar to search for a subject 2. I click on any item on the returned list 4. I am redirected to a web site other than what I wanted, usually one selling something related to what I...

My computer usage does NOT include gaming which seems to be the obsessive focus of all video card manufacturers. Which genre of card would be best for business applications to include occasional use of graphics programs like PhotoShop?

I was given an older US Robotics 56k external modem but do not have the cable to connect to the serial port of the PC. I know I need DB25M/DB9F but don't know if I need to buy a straight through serial or a "Null modem" cable. Help - Thanks.

I've tried a couple of different products - Spybot, Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware, XoftSpy, and most recently Microsoft's new Anti-spyware. Why is it that they all find different spyware/adware? I can run them in succession, perform cleanups and it seems that every subsequent software product will...

The iCarbon program, as suggested by bcastner in the link above, works great!

Are they connected to separate ports, and not 'daisy chained'? PRINTER = PARALLEL PORT SCANNER = USB Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the scanner's software? NOT YET, WILL TRY. Did you check for updated software and/or patches at the Epson site to address this problem? I HAVE THE...

I recently purchased a new Brother HL-5140 laser printer. Now when I use my Epson Perfection 1240U scanner to make photocopies using Epson's Copy Utility v2.00A software, I get a squashed image printed. It's the correct width but only half high. I have spent a lot of time attempting to adjust...

I'm told that Matrox video is superior for 2-D video, great for high res graphics work, but, of course, not for games which doesn't bother me. Are the drivers for WinXP stable? I had some major driver problems with a Radeon 9600XT recently and had to return the card. I have an Iiyama...

We are feeding HL7 (v2.1) ADT messages from our HCIS ADT module into Biztalk 2002 and need to filter output to a client on three specific clinic locations found in the PV1-3_1 Assigned_Patient_Location.Point_of_Care field. Our interface analyst is relatively new at working with Biztalk and XML...

Do the new PCI-Express video cards require a motherboard specifically designed for the product? Or is it backwards compatible to any PCI slot? I know... performance would be reduced if backwards compatible.

Thanks!
