Hey all, I am looking to pirchase a power inverter for my car to power my laptop on a road trip. The laptop is a Toshiba and it looks like 19v on the adapter. Any suggestions on what size and how many watts I should have to run the laptop without any power issues? Thanks, Jinxy

Hi Has anyone plaid with this kind of thing. I was wondering if I use fingerprint to unlock, can I take it to another PC and do the same? does it require software installed on a PC. If so it wouldn't. Also older PCs like XP with USB 1.0. Any one played with this technology. TIA Desmond.

My UPS, Belkin 375, was guaranteed for 3 years -- and just failed after 42 months. The component obviously running too hot was not the battery (as expected) but the transformer. So I am undecided whether to replace the battery; I would not attempt to replace the transformer. 1. Is it normal for...

I am doing the free trial (they do require a credit/bank card). Anybody use it? Is there anything similar worth checking out? Seems to me that the search engine would be everything. By the way... I don't know how regional this is, whether there are similar services available to other countries.

Hello again Experts, I am assembling a new components in an effort to startup Win2K. I have the Win2K Pro CD and I was ready to go but it won't start because of my shortage of bits and pieces. Usually it reported failure to start. The partition I want to install on is NTFS. I made an effort to...

Hello, I'm curious if it's possible to build a powerfull PC/iCore/GPU/Cuda PC without getting into heat problems ! ;) For example CPU has about 30 TDP (which is close to watts, otherwise find watts listing) and GPU could have as much as 200 to 300 TDP (watts) (top model for maximum...

I noticed that it's not available in US. I can only find MP140 and MP150. As a result, I am not 100% sure whether ink cartridges for MP140/MP150 could be used for MP145. Cartridges: CL-41, PG-40 -- @~@ You have the right to remain silent. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty! May the Force and...

It has been said here that blowing air into a PC case at the front keeps the case and small air leakage pathways cleaner because a filter can be put at the front fan to filter out the dust. The trade-offs are the need to clean the filter periodically, how much the filter reduces the air flow, and...

Hi all, I plan to replace my 4x2GB DDR2 memories by some 4x2GB ECC memories (I had an issue with the non-ECC memory so I now want my system to be safe with ECC). My Gigabyte motherboard (GA-P35-DS4 rev 1.1) only supports 8 GB max dispatched in 4x2GB DIMM (so I suppose I can not plug 2x4GB). My...

Most tower PCs have 3 or 4 CD/DVD bays, and plastic panels clipped in where there is no drive. Now I have seen some cases that instead have a mesh cover that allows airflow. Also in place where a floppy disk would sit - they are getting rare nowadays. Now is this good for cooling? I thought that...

I have a 20" LCD montior that can support 1600x1200 resolution. I have a Matrox G550 graphics card that supports a max of 1280x1024 in DVI, but will provide 1600x1200 in VGA. Well that's weird, but it works, so I use it. Then the G550 crapped out. Fortunately I had a spare from another computer,...
