I am sorry I have to start a new thread for this. I've checked some previous topics yet still need some professional help. I need a laptop to do programming projects (mainly number punching). Ideally around 7-8 pounds. I don't play fancy games, I don't need it to be a multimedia station...

Thanks a lot guys. Well, I am pretty sure it would be CPU and memory bound. Yeah what I am doing is pure mathematical computation. When I am running the program, sometimes I will have other things running too, like winamp or bittorrent. I know it would slow things down but its gonna be overnight...

I am doing my thesis project and there is large amount of computing work to do. The statistical software I am using is R (based on C++). I am working on a Dell 4550 (P4 2.4G 512MB RAM). Some of the computation would take 4 to 8 hours. I wonder how XP manages its resource while such computing...

Great, thx a lot guys!

Hi all, I am having this problem. I subscribed SBC Yahoo! DSL and am trying to share the connection with my roommate. I am using a SMC EZ switch as the hub and connected both PC to hub. But SBC only allows one connection. So if any one of us connects to the DSL, the other one will get the...

I just wonder when you connected through a client software to a server, how does server recognize each individual computer besides using IP address. Say that I install two operating systems in my computer, during installation I gave them different computer name. Then I set up the client...

help~

I have this problem for weeks and don't have a clue. I am using a Abit KT7A with raid mobo and a radeon 7500 video card. It was all working fine before I went aboard for several months. When I came back, I can't get anything on the monitor. The video card is working well at my friend's PC. When...

My roommate and I share the same static IP and both of us are big starcraft fan. But battle.net won't allow us to join the same game since the IP address is the same. Is there any possible solution? Will it help to set one PC as proxy server? Another question: How can I know the address of my...

Here is my problem. After I installed a new CD burner into my computer, the video system won't work any more. I am not sure where was the problem but the monitor just showed no signal. The monitor itself is fine because it works well when i connected it to my laptop.. So the responsible part...

Looks like a dumb question. I have several accounts at mail.yahoo.com. I've tried several software but got the same result. The first account I set up is ok. The rest accounts can not log in correctly. I am very sure that all info I input is correct but the software just won't work. Appreciate...

bump for some attention. :)

This is an old system I got from some friend and I re-installed the OS system of win98 2nd edition. CPU is Pentium MMX 200 and it has 32MB memory. I have a Kingston PCI network card and I tried to plug it in. The driver files were from kingston's website so there shouldn't be any problem. But...
