BIOS question for an AMD Sempron 140 chip - what memory settings do I need? by RayLopez99

Can get internet but can't get the Web? What is up with that? by RC[_3_]
I've not had much luck with the last few routers lately. Now the router I have will not give me WWW access. I can still access Usegroups though. I only do email via the web now so I don't know if that works or not. Any ideas why this is so? Thanks RC

Heat generation by Mint
I was wondering why so much heat comes from the power supply fan. Is the conversion from 120 Volt to the lower voltages that inefficient ? Thanks.
