color of ethernet ports? by
[email protected]
I have seen pictures of some high-end mainboards, which have a red ethernet
port and a black port. The red being a 2.5GBASE-T port. Sombody told me that
10 Gbps ports are blue, but I doubt that. Last place I worked at had a
cluster with 10GBASE-T and I am sure it was all Henry Ford black.

DVI v DisplayPort by
Peter Johnson[_5_]
I have a monitor connected to my PC using DVI ports on both. But the
monitor has DisplayPort capability. Would there be any advantage in
installing a video card with DisplayPort capability in the PC and
using DP instead of DVI?

Intel halves the price of 18-core i9! by
[email protected]
yesiree, 10980XE will be half the price of 9980XE
No doubt due to competition from AMD.
Although I heard elsewhere that Intel didn't sell that many of the
998OXE, as not enough dies had full 18 cores working. Charge $2000
and that would dampen demand to what they could supply.
So have Intel got...

int 13h & greater by
Hul Tytus
I'm looking for the method(s) used to access disks with greater than 8 gigabytes capacity
on the IBM style computers, ie Compaq/hp, Dell, etc? I've checked interupt 13h for the
presence of "extended" capabilities but have found nothing on 4 different machines.
There is, obviously, another access...

Modem or Router Issue by
Bill[_39_]
I have a Motorola SB6121 cable modem and a Cisco E1000 router.
The router needs to be reset (wires unplugged and replugged) one
to several times per day (for instance twice in the last half
hour). On these occasions, sometime the router is dead and
unresponsive, and it seems I need to...

pheasant16
Puts the desktop picture up, but loads no icons and won't connect to
network. Boots into safe mode just fine.
Still have the original retail XP disk when I built the box.
Took it to a computer store, they didn't ask about the disk, but their
advice was too old get a new box. They tried a...

New (to me) Rescue Image (Bootable WinPE) by
Shadow[_2_]
Won't post in alt.comp.freeware, not sure how "freeware" it
is.
https://sergeistrelec.ru/
Has just about everything thrown in, and you can add more
stuff, but then you would might need to burn it to a pendrive, too big
for a DVD.
Disclaimer: Nothing broke here, so not tested.

years, So I decided...

sil3114 sata card by
T. Ment
I bought a cheap sil3114 sata card to try as an add-in card in a
motherboard that has no SATA ports. It worked OK until I tried flashing
its BIOS to the latest version. The updflash.exe utility started up, but
failed.
Now the sil3114 card hangs the computer when booting. Seems I bricked
its BIOS....

green led by
T. Ment
My computer case green led failed. I bought some on Ebay, but they are
so bright they light up the room and obscure the other color leds.
Any suggestions for a cheap source of low intensity leds in a 3mm size?
Maybe Mouser, but then $1 worth of parts costs $10 to ship. If I have to
spend that much...

Promise SATA (legacy) by
T. Ment
PDC20318 chip (SATA150 TX4)
PDC20319 chip (FastTrak S150 TX4)
They both have 4 SATA ports. The 20319 FastTrak is RAID only, the 20318
SATA150 is hard drive and ATAPI (cdrom), but no RAID.
I got a FastTrak on Ebay, it works, but the RAID BIOS takes 29k of upper
memory. I load many things high,...

PCCHIPS M811 IDE UMDA by
T. Ment
The PCCHIPS M811 motherboard is known to have IDE UMDA errors at ATA-100
speed. Windows XP downgrades it to ATA-66 and that works. But DOS has no
way to downgrade it. BIOS can enable or disable UDMA per drive, but has
no option to limit the speed. BIOS just uses the highest speed the hard
drive...

ECS K7S5A, clone M830 (PCCHIPS, Amptron, etc) by
T. Ment
Earlier, I said in the "motherboard 5v" thread:
My $20 power supply is OK with a 12v motherboard. I'll match the K7S5A
with a better power supply.
Once I did, the K7S5A 5v was 4.90 or so. I thought everything was good,
but now, after a few weeks, it's down to 4.80. Still within spec, but...

Memory and the Ryzen 3000 by
John Savard
I'm planning to put together a new computer using one of the new Ryzen processors.
I heard that 3600 MHz memory would provide the best performance for it, because
using faster memory would require something to be slowed down to two memory
cycles instead of one. Then I learned some more details:...

PCI IDE card by

I'm looking at PCI IDE cards on Ebay. I see mostly Promise and Adaptec.
