Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my last posting -so here goes again....... I am using Windows XP with SP-1 installed. I have three Maxtor hard drives - all of which are rated as USB 2.0. I have a notebook with a USB 1.1 port. However, the notebook is connected to a docking/expansion station...

I installed a PCI card which upgraded my 1.1 port to a 2.0 port. It was working for awhile - but now seems to have reverted to a 1.1 speed. Is there a way (utility maybe?) to clock the transfer speed of my 2.0 USB ports? Thanks..........

I am looking for a Low Profile card for my HP Compaq Evo D510 SFF machine, these are quite difficult to find in the UK, however I've narrowed my choice to two cards. These are... XFX Geforce FX5200 128MB DDR (Approx £35-40) PowerColor Radeon 9200SE 128MB (Approx £30-40) Which low profile card...

Are they any good sites (ideally UK) that give lots of useful information on purchasing small form factor machines & parts for upgrading. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to buy a new 19" CRT monitor, however my budget is between £120-£150. I have looked at Ebuyer & other UK vendors and I cannot make a decision. I do not know enough about monitors to make a good well informed choice and salesman will just tell me the 'most expensive is best' Can...

I know it is considered the unforgivable sin to turn off a printer in the middle of a print job but I sent a job to the printer that was 1 page long and it started reprinting the job over and over again.(No I didn't tell it to print more than once!) I stopped it after the 10th printing of the job...

Hi, I am trying to install an Adsl Wireless net, and the first problem I have is about the CadBus Adapter D-Link -650+ on my notebook (win 98). At the first installation everything seemed to be OK. The drivers were fine, and so was the cardbus (light on). So I have shutted down my NB. When I...

Ho un PC che ogni tanto usando word si impianta. Sono state montate RAM PC133, ma oggi ho scoperto che supporta PC100, secondo voi può essere questo il problema, quindi devo procurarmi delle ram pc100, o posso usare le pc133 in "downgrade"?

Salve a tutti un 3 settimane fa , dopo la botta di caldo di luglio si è asciugata la testina di stampa della mia Brother dcp 315 . Ho tentato con acqua distillata calda e sapone marsiglia ,blaster grassatore diluito , saniform e dopo innumerevoli cicli di pulizia , anche forzando i suddetti...

I have inherited a pc which seems to have a problem. When I press the on button, nothing seems to happen. There is no output on the screen. The hard disc seems to start spinning though. When you press the reset button though, after about 7 seconds, it beeps once and then displays the screen...

Any CPU-only benchmarks around that simply compare that various Intel CPUs against each other? For example, and with all else being equal, what would be the gain in performance, if any, between a Celeron 2.6GHZ 400FSB and a Pentium 3 800MHz 100FSB? The mobo will get changed but I'm just wondering...

I will soon be putting together another box and figured this time I would lap the heatsink to ensure it was silky smooth and level to mate fully with the CPU. I had a link to an article that mentioned how to lap the heatsink but can't find it right now. Anyone have a link to an online article...

Wondering if my Maxtor hard drive is going bad. It doesn't make a continuous whine, like the spindle being worn. Just every now and so it will make a short-lived waaaa-errrrr-annngg noise almost like it is having difficulty during a search. However, there isn't even any disk access at that time....

Any Abit NF7-S users out there? I'm wondering how you tell if it is a version 2.0 of the motherboard. Apparently version 2.0 is required in order to support 200MHz FSB on the CPU (i.e., to get up to full FSB speed on the CPU besides for the memory). Is it printed somewhere on the mobo? I don't...

Windows XP Pro SP-1 HP DeskJet 970Cse (parallel port) When my computer system is turned on (cold boot), the printer starts up.

I got an Abit NF7-S which has a 14-pin header for front panel audio connectors. In this header there are 2 pins for the left channel and 2 for the right channel. Across the left-left pins is a jumper and the right-right pins are also jumpered. So there a left o-o left right o-o right where...
