I have built a computer with a PM9MS Motherboard. I am trying to set up both a Western Digital Protoge 20.5 GB HDD (5400 RPM) and a 20.5 GB Quantom Fireball. With Auto settings the Western Digital is recognized with the proper size, heads and sectors but the wrong Cylinders and Landing Zone....

I'm not sure what setting in memory timings this relates to, but, from what I've been reading, if you put four 512Meg (double-sided) memory sticks in a Socket 939 motherboard (and probably others also, I would guess), the only way you can run the FSB at 200MHz is to use a setting of 2T, as opposed...

I started using NVIDIA's firewall instead of XP's since I was having quite a few problems with XP and software that required workarounds. Anyway, I recently bought a Zonet Router/Print server and noticed that if the NVIDIA firewall is on, I can't print. If i turn the firewall off I can print. ...

Since adding a laptop I've been looking at wireless routers. Now I see something called a Powerline LAN. That is the signal gets broadcast over your existing electric wires. Sounds like a good option. Anyone with experience using one? with Linux?

I have to replace a mobo with an AMD XP 2800+ cpu on it. AMD is very particular that the ONLY thermal transfer agent they approve for the CPU/heatsink interface is a phase change pad, but I am unable to find a retailer that sells them. EVERYBODY sells the tubes of paste, but where to find the...

I installed an NEC 6500A DVD writer in our 2 year old laptop about 6 months ago. It is rated by NEC to write at 8X speed. It has worked fine in the time it's been there, reading and writing with one exception. It will not burn faster than 4X speed although I use 8x media for DVD burning....
