    ATOT Medical Crew needed

    My uncle was diagnosed with Class A Type C Hepatitis. My mother is worried sick, and has no idea what Type C Hepatitis is like. I would like to find some information online that she could read. I am currently doing searches, but not being a medical person, I am unfamiliar with good online...

    Is there a site that compares cell phone plans?

    I have just started looking into getting a cell phone... And I am getting a headache looking through all of the providers sites. Is there a website that details the pros and cons of the providers? And if so, where do I find it?

    Searching for the impossible? (USB related)

    This is not a big problem. Just one of those things that is pestering me. To quote Morpheus in Matrix: "Lika a splinter in your mind." I am looking for a USB controller card that I can run all of my "extra" USB ports off of. I have a Lian Li PC7 Case that has 4 front USB ports. I will be...

    Digital Doc 5+: Where to put all the sensors?

    Background: I will be recieving the MacPower Digital Doc 5+ in a few days, and I want to get a "battle plan" formed by the time it gets here. I chose it because for about triple the price of smaller units, I get four times the sensors. I figure I need a remote sensor, because my new...

    Gift idea for a lady. All ideas welcome.

    I am stumped. I need a gift idea for a lady "friend" of mine for Christmas. I can not think of anything that would be good. Things I have eliminated for various reasons: 1) The old standby, jewlery. 2) Chocolates/candy/sweets/whatever. 3) "Intimate" or "unmentionable" style gifts...

    GA-7N400 Pro2 Memory quandry.

    Okay, I was having some confusion about dual channel - and kevgray cleared that up in another thread - and in my investigations I found that my sticks (2 of them) of 512 DDR memory were only being detected / run at 256 MB DDR. How do I fix this? I have tried them in different slots. I have...

    Dual channel 512 MB RAM, or single channel 1024 MB?

    I have a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 with two sticks of 512 MB DDR memory. I was looking for anyones opinions on if I should set it up as Dual Channel, or Single Channel. I currently have it as Dual Channel, and I noticed the BIOS only detects 512MB. But since the Dual Channel Initialized (or...

    Cooling confusion

    Problem: My CPU seems to run at the same temperature, or higher after upgrading my HS/F. Details: I just swaped out my ECS K7S5A motherboard for a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2, and while I was at it I installed a SLK-900A (Arctic Silver 3) with a 45.8 cfm 92 mm fan. My CPU is...

    ATAPI Optical Drives are being detected as SCSI??

    Okay, first things first. ATM, a clean install is not an option. I have verified that all hardware works fine outside of Windows. But when Win 98SE boots up, my optical drives are being detected as SCSI devices. I have tried removing them in Device Mangler, and Registry, and both - to no...

    Review: Lian Li PC 7 Case (Not professional)

    By, Me! ;) The first thing I noticed when I picked up the box that the FedEx fellow left by my door was, ?This thing is light!? But, bear in mind, it does not come with a PSU, and I have only dealt with steel cases before. So, your mileage may vary. I opened up the box, and the nice all...

    Quick question about hs & f's (SLK-900 in particular)

    I just recieved my new SLK-900A heatsink, along with a good 92mm fan. Now my question is: "Are the fan clips supposed to be that loose?" It seems to me, since the desktop case design is all but dead, that the fan clips should be a bit more, um, snug since the heatsink will almost always be...

    Difficult modding question.

    Okay all of you serious modders out there.... Is there a way to detect externally (Hardware preferably, software if no other way) what OS you are booting up to in a multi-boot box? For example, if I wanted to have a LCD display that showed "Winblows" when I booted into WinXP and "Linux r0x0r5"...

    Clean Windows Install: Reboot every time/Wait 'till end?

    Okay. I thought I would ask people opinions on this. When you are doing a clean install, and you do something (like install drivers) and Windows prompts you for a reboot, do you do it every time? Or do you wait until the end? (Or at least until you do something 'major' like a service pack...
