    Dual channel DDR vs. Single chip?

    Stick with the two 256 chips. Dual channel DDR effectively doubles the bandwidth of data transfer by feeding data to the RAM chips on two, instead of one, data bus (I believe each with its own memory bus controller). This doubles the throughput of data. While the preformance of your PC is not...

    Restoring Toolbox to an Access DB already in use

    Zebbeddee and Foolio12 - Okay, you guys were both right...holding down SHIFT was the right thing to do. It did not work at first, because the DB is server-based and the SHIFT command wasn't getting included in the request to the server for the DB because I wasn't holding it down long enough...

    Restoring Toolbox to an Access DB already in use

    foolio12 - If I cannot right click on any of the database components, how am I to get to the Startup options? I have opened the database while holding down SHIFT (I thought that it would be assumed that I had tried the solution posted before I posted again), but the only thing this does is give...

    Restoring Toolbox to an Access DB already in use

    Thanks Zebbeddee...I have already discovered the F11 functionality (as I stated in my first post), but I should have also mentioned that I cannot right click anywhere on the database components, so I am unable to get to the startup options. I know that I have gotten around this previously, I...

    Restoring Toolbox to an Access DB already in use

    Hi, I am fairly new to Access and have recently created a DB that has been in use for a month or so. Now I have recieved a request to add a few text boxes. Simple enough, I think. I go into the DB and at first it looks like EVERYTHING is locked down. I cannot get into design mode, there is...

    DECO1JOSH - It sure looks as though you can boot from a USB device with Phoenix Notebios 4.06 - here's a handy URL to check it out yourself: http://www.phoenix.com/en/products/phoenix+cme+firstbios/system+firmware/products/notebios.htm Hope this helps! Cheers Everything in its right place...

    floppy disk not formatted/formatted for MAC

    SMAH - I can't believe I forgot that. I have seen that problem firsthand. It seems to happen with floppies that are PREFORMATTED for IBM...XP doesn't seem to like those. Thanks for the reminder! constj - I would try what SMAH said FIRST. reformat the floppy on XP and then write the data...

    floppy disk not formatted/formatted for MAC

    Both W2k and Wxp use the same file system for floppies- I would suggest that the problem is either the physical floppy disk itself or one of the two floppy drives you are using - the one to write or the one to read. Cheers, Everything in its right place...

    Disclolored lcd screen

    Actually, Bobg1, I have seen these exact same symptoms on a laptop LCD, and it was in fact a "loose cable". Upon opening the case I discovered that the ribbon cable to the LCD screen was not seated firmly into the connector on the mobo. The screen in question was not showing red...

    Voice to text

    skyman43: They probably are not typing that fast, and they probably are not reading that fast... They are probably in fact speaking directly to each other as you would over a telephone. All you need is a headphone mic and a sound card to plug it into, and a software download. Oh, and here's...

    Need a small office networking solution

    EdFair, No, you didn't mention crossover, but the post after yours did ;) I suppose I should direct my response to a specific individual instead of mulling over all posts in the thread in a single response. As for the seperate server (not necessarily running Server OS) machine, I would...

    Need a small office networking solution

    Cross over cables are a great idea but have zero expandability (adding more machines is NOT an option with crossover) -just a note- Matthew Janes Everything in its right place...

    Need a small office networking solution

    Unless they want to purchase a computer to be a server (and only serve that function) then they you can set them up on a Windows domain...of course this is probably overkill for what they need. I would recommend however upgrading to W2K or XP as they currently have no security for file...

    Need help with mic problem on IBM Thinkpad

    My guess is that the MIC is a mono, and the headset is not. How does the headset MIC plug in, one plug or two? Matthew Janes Everything in its right place...
