I just dug out an old modem. I want to get the caller id working. As near as I can tell it is a Diamond SUP2260 XP561 PCI 56k Modem Card The only Google hits I get don't really show the cards specs. This web site says.......... http://www.talkingcallerid.com/CallerIDCapable.htm When I...

is there a device, software or hardware, than can help me save on power for my 4g modem? it consumes a lot of power, especially on my batteries. tnx

The topic of conversation is do you leave your PC running all day and night? Assume it's not part of a server farm. I say no: wastes energy, and the tribology benefits are small. On the other hand, I often do leave my DSL modem on all day and night, since I'm too lazy to turn it off. As it has...

looking at a dualcore 4200 AMD on xp tonite like, for generally running apps, xp's default affinity for either core 1 or 2 is good enough for a non-deterministic approach. but say when running video and audio in a deterministic sense -- always while audio is present, either while video is, or...

I would try running it from a Linux boot disc such as Ubuntu 12.04 from ubuntu.com to see how it runs. You download theISO file, burn it to a CD/DVD using burning software that can burn an ISO image file, such as CDBurnerXP, and then with the BIOS set to boot first from the CD/DVD drive boot...

Sometime when I boot, I get this message at the end of the POST: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot. My system has two hard drives: a new 1 TB SATA as the primary drive that I boot from, and an 500 MB IDE drive. When I get the above message, I find that the BIOS has changed priority...

I can't believe the older generation PCI-e video boards on Ebay. Those model number chipsets -- it's like reading out of the Book of Uranus. Half the performance at the same cost, at best, for way better benchmarks going on a basic entry ATI Radeon rebated to $20 in a Sapphire board (does NVida...

My SSD is just as fast in Windows XP as it is in Windows 8. But. Loading X-Plane 10 (a flight simulator) takes 10 freaking minutes. In Windows 8, it takes 2 1/2 minutes. In ubuntu Linux, it takes 1 minute and 20 seconds. It's the first version of the game, so no doubt they will decrease the...

god-damned BIOSTAR motherboard CMOS won't hold its BIOS set states changed the 2032 battery pin reset it changed, rewrote and updated to the last 2010 BIOS revision running a 95-watt early Intel dual core 775 as it sits

I suppose I can look at properties, unless it won't let me, but... I'm using ubuntu Linux Unity "12.04" from this download. ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso Hopefully I can get a replacement SSD soon, so I'm sizing up my dual boot ubuntu Linux and Windows XP.

http://blog.hishamrana.com/2009/07/30/windows-7-activation-spoofed-not-cracked-via-slic-2-1-and-oem-master-key Maybe I really over-rated the capabilities of those activation hacks. There was really a "bug" in Win 7's activation. I guess those PC manufacturers should be blamed... :) -- @~@ ...

Hello, There is always a chance that one might become sick or hurt or something and needs to stay in bed for a while. Taking a desktop PC into bed doesn't really sound like a good plan, it's too big ! :) Thus I am wondering what other kind of PC would be best for in bed ?

Computer cases should come with a small pouch attached to inside cover. The mobo should come with a QR code in the box so you can put it in the pouch. QR codes should also come with hard drives, expansion cards, CD burners, CPUs ect. Need a manual.............Pull out the QR code and scan it.

I am trying to set up an older PC with Windows XP, SP3. It has 4 internal hard drives - 2 IDE & 2 Sata. I would like to make one of my Sata drives the C: System Volume/Boot Volume. My BIOS lists this drive as 'IDE Channel 4 Master'. The PC keeps assigning one of the IDE drives as C: instead. How...

A buddy of mine had a computer crash on him (power supply failure) so we hooked his older IDE drive up to my windows 7 system to back up his data. My system runs all SATA drives, so I hooked his up with my spare ribbon cable (making sure jumper settings were correct) saw the drive in the bios...

The former is a heavy cube, has PCB oil and nasty chemicals sealed inside it, with copper turns according to how much you want to step down / step up the voltage, forms a natural kind of surge suppressor, lasts forever and is expensive. The latter is the opposite, but the 'modern'...

My nephew said his computer popped he smelled smoke. I took it upstairs and opened it up and unplugged the mobo and hard drives and powered it up and nothing happened. I wish I had thought to check and see if the mobo light was on, but I didn't. I pulled out the power supply and checked the...
