Thanks for the prompt replies. Two questions. 1. Why burn a CD versus just putting it on a hard disk? 2. Where can I get info on editing autoexec.bat? I am smart enough to find Anandtech forums but that's about as far as it goes!

Thanks for the prompt replies. Two questions. 1.

I hope someone can help me with what I bet is a very simple thing: I am using a dedicated computer to run a cnc plasma cutting maching. The program that controls it runs in DOS. I don't use this older computer for anything else. I am tired of booting with a floppy, selecting whether I...

This is all part of at least two threads below but Dell has a great selection of monitors, is offering free shipping and there is a 10% off coupon as well. I just ordered a Samsung 900nf for a total of $356 shipped. Not the most amazing price in the world but its nearly $50 below anything on...

Can anyone explain why, in a city of over 4 million.......Atlanta Other than a hand full of no-name cheapies, the only DECENT locally available 19" monitors are: Viewsonic A95f NEC F950+ KDS AV195TF Samsung 955DF Philips 109B Sony CPD-G400 Nowhere to be seen: Samsung 900NF, 900IFT, 950P...

I tried out a downloaded program on a trial basis some time ago and decided I don't want it, I then uninstalled it. Now I have a permanent control panel item named Elicense which apparently lists "returned" programs" and sure enough it lists this long ago erased program. I...

I don't have time to redo your math but it looks to me like you did it right. Don't forget that your resister must be able to dissapate at least (i squared * R) at least 1+ watts.

I presently have a KK266R with an 850 Athlon and 256 MB Crucial ram. Actually I don't even play games much and don't need the speed at all but would like to OC: I apparently have a dud cpu from an OC standpoint (I cannot raise multiplier at all although fsb is working fine at 133 X 6.5 = 866...

Am I missing something? I always thought that in our capitalistic society that we we paid for services rendered..............

I use Mr. Mirror 1.3 which is free (2.1 is $20). It is an amazingly well designed piece of software. It allows mirroring (on a schedule) across a network and does a text log of all activities. I find it refreshingly elegant. http://www.warpgear.com/

Ask them when they are going to update the G450 drivers to allow those who use dual monitors to use OpenGL and DVD player without having to reboot into single monitor mode.

JackMDS, thanks so much for your rapid response. I think I will try DSL.

Please forgive me if this is old stuff but its new to me: I have a simple ethernet connection (2 machines) with thin wire coax (no hub) and we are both presently using dialup to the internet. DSL (Earthlink) is now available. If I go with DSL can I connect both machines with the one DSL...
