    Compaq Evo laptop and Wireless LAN W200 Add-On

    The non-profit that I work for received a donation of 19 Evo 610c laptops, each with these Compaq Wireless LAN W200's bolted to the lid. Thus far 3 of the first 5 laptops haven't had working W200's on them, and I'm wondering if it's me. Is anyone here familiar with these adaptors? Is the...

    Adding Second CPU with Windows 2000

    Now that I know that I can run two CPU's with my PSU, I now I have a second question. Will Windows 2000 automagically detect that there is a second CPU and add the appropriate drivers, a la Plug n Play? Or do I need to reinstall? Maybe there is another trick instead of reinstalling? Thanks...

    Dual P3 Power Needs

    I've recently inherited a Tyan Tiger 100 dual P3 motherboard with passively-cooled dual P3 500's. I'd like to use it in a case with a 350W Codegen power supply, nVidia GeForce FX 5200 video card, miscellaneous sound card and DVD drive, wireless NIC, and 512MB of PC100. Is this enough power...
