Searching the "Motherboard" forums with such terms as "Dell motherboard," "Dell mobo," etc. I got next to nothing. The info I did get didn't pertain to my problem at all. I didn't look in other forums because this is the "motherboard" forum, hense why I searched here first and then asked...

C'mon, guys I know someone has to know the answer or at least knows of an ideal place I can find it out. Many thanks!

All I know is that her motherboard crapped the bed and that it needs to be replaced. Any suggestions for a replacement out there? I'd prefer that it be something I can obtain from Newegg.com but I'd consider anything. Also, how hard is it for a novice to stick one of these in? I'm sure that...

Can't say for any other versions, but version 3 and version 5 do not say right on the box. You have to look at the S/N.

I took my V5 back to Wal-Mart and found a V3. Works great after I uploaded HyperWRT + Tofu 12 on it. I highly recommend them.

After I took the V3 back and got the V5 in exchange, I read that the V5 does not accept third-party firmware and that many users are upset about it. I just want it to work, dangit! On a lighter note, it has been working flawlessly since I posted this thread (*knocks on wood*). I will change...

i had a V3 that had the same problem that I bought back in July. I returned it and the one I got in exchange is a V5. This leads me to believe that it is the way in which I have it configured.

Well, the topic summary kind of says it all. Every computer that gets a signal on my WRT54G will have great signal most of the time, but pretty regularly it mysteriously drops the signal. I have downloaded the firmware for it, but that hasn't helped a bit. I was wondering if there was...

That did it. Many thanks.

Tells me everything in the world about my Inspiron 5100 except what I wanted to know: I know my video card is a Mobility Radeon 7500. What I don't know is if it is a 16mb or 32mb. Anyone got a suggestion on how to find this?

This may be a stupid question, but if I don't have the restore CDs, can I DL and burn them from Dell?

My guess is that is a filtration device but the spinning motion serves to aerate the water to keep it oxygenated keeping it from getting too stagnant.

I thought about that, but I don't know if I would really need it. I won't be using the machine for gaming (I *gasp!* don't play games) and I won't be hooking up a 5.1 surround system. Anything else recommended?

Right. Thanks.

I looked up Arctic Silver 5. Newegg reviews are very high and it's very cheap so there's no reason why I won't throw it in if it will help. Do I just coat the processor with it? Anything else? Edit: NM. I checked out the website and they have some great, detailed instructions on...
