Sheesh, and I thought TFTs sucked up less juice than the CRTs... mine's a CRT, btw, and one of the reasons I was considering getting a flat panel display, apart from being lightweight and the coolness factor, was that I thought they consumed less energy. Thanks for the info :)

You know, I hate it when this happens... I totally forgot to do a Google search on that... just focused on checking Shuttle's site, writing them, and writing here. Feeling really stoopid right now, nothing new there though. :) Anyway, you're right. The mobo is too much for 98... I'm glad that...

Hmm... how about a WinXP laptop and a Win98se machine that don't see each other? What steps do I take to know whether the culprit is the LAN driver in my desktop PC or my lack of experience configurating these things? I know the onboard LAN in my desktop PC works since I use it without...

I don't know if this is way out of topic, so my apologies if it is... Do any of you know how much electricity a PC consumes per month? Edwin

Ugh, thank heavens I asked here first before making the mistake of installing ME :P... I appreciate the info. In my PC, I have XP in a Fat32 partition. I was paranoid when I first installed XP so, in case XP died on me or something, I wanted to be able to "see" and rescue any files from the XP...

Ouch, is it THAT bad? The time between Win98 and XP is a "dead zone" of sorts to me... I used 98, and much (*much*) later switched to XP, so I don't have direct experience with any OS in between. All I knew was that ME is supposedly the last "version" of Win98, so I thought it couldn't be that...

I'm kind of fed up with Win98, and would like to switch to ME. The only reason I still have 98 in a dual-boot system with XP is that XP (that I know of) cannot be installed/reinstalled from pure DOS... and I use 98 if I need to repair the XP installation or wipe it out and reinstall it. I...

I have simple file sharing disabled in both PCs. In "Shared Documents Properties> Permissions" in my laptop, the group "Everyone" has all boxes under "Allow" checked. Same thing in my desktop machine. Still, it works only one way so far... Any other place I should tinker with? Ed.

Yikes, I was about to post practically the same problem, I hope you don't mind if I piggyback on your post.... In my case, there's a laptop with a wireless LAN card from Linksys and a desktop PC connected with a Cat5e cable to a Wireless G Linksys router. Both have Win XP Pro, but my laptop has...

Thanks :), I'll give it a try... E.

bcastner: Ok, I'll try an SP2 install first, and post my results here.... I don't know if the following details will be good enough or too vague, but here they come: The first time I started noticing an unusual slowness was during startup. It always took some time to load, granted, but not as...

Hmm, that option didn't cross my mind...I'll think about it. I haven't ordered the new PS yet... Heck, I may do both things, since I was planning to build a new PC anyway, and give the "old one" with the lesser drives to my niece. I use Photoshop quite a bit, and having a 200 GB HDD would give...

Thanks for the link! I'll read it thoroughly :)

Lately, my TOSHIBA Satellite Pro 4600 (800 mHz PIII, 256 MB RAM, 20 MB HDD, TOSHIBA DVD-ROM, latest drivers on everything) has become unusually slow with XP. It was never blindingly fast, but decently so, so the difference now is noticeable. I checked the loaded programs with CodeStuff Starter...

Thanks bcastner...

Greetings: I've been meaning to ask this for quite a while. I have a dual boot system with Win98se and WinXP Pro SP1. On the boot screen, if I press F8 I can select whether I want to start up in safe mode, but the options in that screen seem to work only with WinXP, so I end up booting XP in...

Just to give this thread a sense of closure (and hopefully to avoid taking any more of your time, people, esp. when the main question has been answered). I decided on the Thermaltake PurePower 480W "Butterfly" PSU (model W0019, which is the one with active power correction), whis has been...

Err... I opened the case to fix something (got some problems with my PC that are beyond the scope of this post), and read the PS label... the Antec PS is 350W... sorry about that... I used the order slip to check how much watts had my PS...it says "300W" but I forgot I asked them to change it to...

Oh crap... I've been running it like that, only with one less HDD, for almost two years... When I added the 4th HDD a month ago I wondered if I were pushing it, which prompted me to post my message. *sigh* Any advice on the best, and most silent, PS around?

I have a SmartPower 300W ATX power supply in an Antec box. I was wondering if I have too many things connected to it. Here's the list: * MSI K7T266 Pro2 with an Athlon XP 2000+ and 512 MB DDR RAM running WinXP Pro SP1 * 1 Radeon 8500 * 4 HDD's * 1 IOmega Zip 100 (I rarely use it nowadays) * 1...
