No DVD Video by
[email protected]
I am resurrecting a Gateway 500 MHz machine with 512MB RAM, running XP
SP3. It does pretty well, except it will not play video from video
DVDs in the player. DVD sound (dialogue) is fine, just no video at

with same bad result. ...

Air filtered PC cases by

Any thoughts on air-filtered PC cases?
My suspicion is that unless the filters are of a far larger area than the
fans that they'ed restrict the airflow considerably compared to no filter

Mike S
I'm trying to add RAM to a friend's T5010 and I'm not sure whether I
have to add two matched sticks or if I can just use one stick. Does
anyone know whether that model allows odd numbers of sticks (it has 4
slots) or if it requires matched pairs in sets of two?
