Hi, Here are two great monitors utilizing the same DiamondTron 22" tube but not knowing all the subtleties I'm looking for input on their finer differences. The iiyama supports slightly higher refresh rates but nothing that I think would make a major qualitative difference. On the other hand the...

Your temps will show a tad higher, before XP, Win2K, or NT load. These OS's have CPU throttling, built in, that shaves about 10C off your temps at idle. There used to be a program, a few years back called CPIIdle, that did the same thing in Win9x. My temps show approx. 10C higher, when viewing in...

Hi, I have an old Win98SE PCs based on an Intel SE440BX mobo, with P2-350 CPUs. I also have Pinnacle DC20 video capture card and a Guillemot Isis 8+8 audio I/O system, both of which refuse to work reliably in any more recent mobo (P3-866, P4-2.60 and a Celeron), so I'm stuck with the dinosaur, at...

I am replacing a 20Gb HDD - which just isn't big enough any more - with a new larger one. The old drive is set up just the way I want it, with music recording apps, drivers and settings, and I'm very reluctant to have to start again with a new, empty drive. So, I've installed the new drive as a...

I have a laptop and I suspect the M/B or CPU is bad. Can I pull the 1.2 Athlon CPU out of my laptop and put it in my AMD 1.2 Desktop and test it? Rob -- Remove "SPAM" to reply.

Okay, now this is an odd one you'll think from a guy who has been in IT for several years and worked around my my share of corporate data centers and hardware in general. But, my most recent Linux box at home started life as a $200 box from WalMart.com. You know, the Microtels. This thing runs...

I have Belkin and PQI USB 1.1 flash card readers that get stuck if I try to copy more than about 20MB of files to it, but only if the USB port uses a VIA chip. It doesn't matter whether the VIA chip is USB 1.1 or 2.0. Upgrading the VIA USB filter and IRQ steering didn't help, but I was unable...
