    Asus P4PE memory problem

    OK, I figured out the problem here. Apparantly the cheapskate in me got me into trouble. I bought high density RAM because it was cheaper. High density RAM has about a 10% compatibility rate compared to low density RAM that has a 100% compatibiity rate. I will mark this down as a lesson...

    Asus P4PE memory problem

    Yep, I have tried each seperately and also had them installed in Dimm 1 & Dimm 2. It is double sided RAM, but the two sticks I have in there right now are also double sided. What change needs to be done in the bios? I thought the bios would pick this automatically...

    Well, I updated the bios to rev 1007, didn't help. I wonder if both sticks of RAM are no good?

    Unable to share files or access network shares on home network

    Thats strange, I was having the same exact problem and it started at about the same time. I think it was messed up by one of the MS updates. I tried all kinds of different things to get it working. I ended up with two solutions. One was to create a new user on each PC with the same user...

    SBC DSL for $14.95

    This deal makes me sick! Not everyone is able to get broadband. I think SBC, Comcast should keep their profit margins up and reinvest into expanding their networks before cutting their prices for current customers. OK, I realize I am being selfish here... :) I hope everyone enjoys this...

    Linksys WRT54G v2.2 problems

    I have a ver.2.2 that has been nothing but trouble. I have instability issues when using hard wired connections to the 4 port switch. The wireless connections all seem to be stabile. I have called Linksys 3 times trying to get some relief on this problem. The best they could tell me was to...

    What firmware should I use for a WRT54G router?

    I have a version 2.2 wrt54g. The Linksys firmware sucks. It would drop my desktop, (which is hard wired into the built in 4 port switch), constantly. I had called Linksys and complained about it three times. They finally told me to bring it back and exchange it. Their tech support sucks...

    I got the last one today at the cascade Rat Shack in Grand Rapids MI. The nerd working their said the $10 rebate has expired on this. He did print out the $20 rebate though. It is still a smoking deal for $20. There is a $10 rebate from Sandisk, I'm just not sure I want to risk the $20...

    Verizon Trials

    Please bring this to Michigan!!! We are suffering up here! Unless you live in the big cities you get nothing but dial ups. I bug SBC about once a month to bring DSL out to me, they always respond with " we are continually expanding our service area and blah, blah, blah....." The empty...

    Thanks for the post, I have been waiting for this camera to be in the $300 range.
