The 240EE is a low power Opteron CPU that runs at 1.15 volts rather than the 1.5 volts of the standard Opterons. Does anyone know whether the SK8V will detect that the CPU is a 240EE and, accordingly, adjust the CPU voltage to 1.15 volts? -- Bob Day

For those of you who do some troubleshooting now an then, I've written a book which is pretty much "Debugging 101" in a fast, funny read. It covers the universal, essential debugging rules, using war stories from software, hardware, and even non-tech fields like plumbing and medicine. (The...

Does anyone know if there is an adapter or cable available that will allow me to use a USB printer from the printer parallel port of a PC. If so, could you please give me the info as to where I can purchase one. Thanks, Paul

My Dell 2400 3.0 GHz machine came equipped with one 40 GB hard drive. When I attempted to capture analog video, I was dropping a third as many frames as I was capturing, and the software I was using suggested that I needed to be capturing to a dedicated, 7200 RPM drive. I bought a 160 GB drive...

Hi, My 120 gig hard drive (maxtor diamondmax 9+) won't detect at all and insists on playing a little tune to me instead - even when it's only got power and not connected to my board. Entertaining as it is, it's a bit rubbish as a storage device. My board is a gigabyte GA7-VRXP. The maxtor site...
