I am going for a good notebook. The only real difference between the two that I can see, is the 128 vs 256 mb of video ram for the graphic card, plus the zd 8000 comes shipped with a tv tuner(external). Everything else can be customised, so I am not worried. Am I overlooking anything? Is there a...

I am looking for a way to disable the redundant feature of the Proliant 5500 server I have. I used to run only two Fans in it, CPU and I/O, but few days ago I installed some more fans into it. After installing the redundant fans I realized that the system is way too loud with 4 fans :( So I...

Hi to everyone, i'm trying to install Windows 98 SE on a very old Compaq Presario 4110. Windows 95 run well and all works good, but i want the best MS O.S. in the world (I'm joking :-) I upgrade the ram up to 40 MB and I install another hard disk. During the last W98 installation operation,...

Hi all, I bought a Compaq R3000 laptop (Amd athlon 64 3000+ cpu) a few months ago. I figured I'd get some issues I've been having cleared up. 1. Sometimes (very rarely, but it does happen), I get my keyboard into a state where capslock is backwards, and 'Enter' doesn't work. I bash around a...

I have an Armada M700 with Win 2000. The built into the screen microphone doesn't seem to do anything: if I try to record, the sound recorder utility's "virbrating line" remains dead throughout the test. If, on the other hand, I use an external mic, it all works well. No volume controls are muted...

I have a Compaq Prosignia that insists on booting from a network and only a network. How do I manage to change this so it will boot from a floppy, hard drive, or CD like any other computer?
