    Help AMD 690G with slow USB transfer speed <8mb/s

    I did update the Ati catalyst drivers regularly. last update was two months ago. Never tested usb transfer speed until recently. Maybe, I should update it again to see if newer driver makes any difference. What bio setting can possibly affect the USB transfer speed?

    Help AMD 690G with slow USB transfer speed <8mb/s

    Appearantly, many people complaint about SB600's SATA driver wasn't working well for them. Biostar hasn't update its driver for the SB600 since June 2007. I am thinking about installng the AMD chipset driver package for ASUS M2A-VM (which has the same 690G and SB600 chipsets) on my...

    dawza, I notice that 2007FP's native resolution is 1600 x 1200 whereas 2007WFP's native resolution is 1680 x 1050. So, if I set windows' display property to use normal size font, which panel will have bigger text size or they are the same? I prefer larger text size because I intend to do...

    20 inch+ LCD recommendation needed

    I am going to need a 20 inch+ LCD monitor for viewing powerpoint/document (side by side), editing photos, and watching movies. I am leaning toward the Dell 2007WFP or 2007FP. Between the two, which better suits my needs? I know NEC has some very good panels but they are expensive. So...

    upgrade notebook memory

    My notebook has a stick of Samsung (M470T6554CZ3) PC2-5300 DDR2 512MBytes memory. I want to add a stick of 1Gbytes PC2-5300 Trascend or PC2-5400 PQI or OCZ Value into the notebook. Do you think there is going to be a problem with a non symmetric upgrade (one side has 512 Mbytes and another...

    wireless router recommendation.

    I just moved to an area service by Embarq (formely known as Sprint). Embarq provides internet users with a basic Embarq brand 660 series dsl modem which doesn't have an integrated wireless router. Therefore, I am searching for a decent upnp wireless router which doesn't cost more than $60...

    core duo (Dell) vs Turion (HP, Acer, and etc)

    So, the Core 2 Duo is out already? Why haven't the manufacturers made any Core 2 Duo laptop yet?
