So, Ive been going a little crazy with this problem, and I need some outside opinions. EDIT: I thought it should be said, this is XP pro. When I first reboot or disable/enable the network connection, i get about 30s-2m of connectivity for web transfers, and then nada. Firefox doesnt even...

bump?

I have an old Dell T700r (PIII 700) with 256MB of RAM. The max for the 3 slots on the MoBo is listed as 768. I bought 2 generic PC133 256 DIMMS and stuck them in with the 256 already there. The machine posts with the 1 old and 2 new sticks, but only lists 256MB of RAM during the memory check...

The office I work for has a jury-rigged networked drive on a workstation. Because the firm is growing the meager 20GB being shared between the user of the workstation and the network drive has finally gotten just too small to work with. All attempts to copy the files off the folder that has been...

Does anyone know about the feasibility of putting more than one audio output on an mp3 jukebox pc? Id like to keep costs down and supply multiple outputs so that the varied tastes of the end-users might be stored and enjoyed simultaneously but separately through headphones. Really the truth is...

Theres a very strong dropoff through the wall, and the number of retransmitted...

Id really like a code if anyone can PM me one

Im looking to invest in a USB 2.0 enclosure for my laptop, but I'd like to avoid hot drives, since I know the low air flow will really have an effect in something as small as an enclosure even if it does have a fan, and im not sure that it does. Can anyone recommend some good, inexpensive, cool...

Since it came with my retail cd, id hope its legal... Ill go call microsoft then.

My windows XP professional wont take my CD key for some reason. Its the one that came with my CD, and every time I enter it, I get an invalid CD key error. Ill also admit to trying to install using some of the corporate CD keys leaked into the internet. Everything yields the same error. Windows...

Does anyone think that this particular drive will have heat issues inside something like an enclosure? Im trying to stay away from the IMB drives because of their horrible reliability, and as far as i've heard, the reliability problems are heat related.

I want to run one of these in an USB 2.0 enclosure for my laptop. Anyone have any thoughts on heat being an issue with these drives? Am i safe or courting trouble with a 7200 rpm drive?

I was thumbing through some tech headlines when I came across the gbox. With all the p4 1.6a overclock success stories, and the DDR 266 capabilities of the chipset, I was wondering if maybe i could run a 133 synchronous bus on it. Anyone know for sure how the CPU bus works on these boards?

might be a little less hot for those of us who dont have staples coupons from the survey or officemax coupons from the scratch off. i couldnt locate any coupons to use. if anyone finds one though, i wouldnt mind a pm. edit: ok there is a useable office depot code for online purchases... so to...
