Microsoft?s OEM license (http://download.microsoft.com/...1/downgrade_chart.doc) states that you can freely downgrade from Vista Business to XP Pro and still keep the Vista license for future use. I phoned Dell to ask them to send me an XP Pro disc but having being bumped around 3 different...
I have an Intel Bad Axe Version 1 and it seems to take a long time to POST. From pressing the power button it takes 15 seconds to display the POST screen and 31 seconds before the XP screen first appears. Is this normal?
The system has a single PCIe VGA card and no USB devices and is running...
The Woodcrest Xeon pricing has been announced and they seem pretty cheap ($209 - $851); any news of supporting DP motherboards yet and what type of RAM they will use? If they use FB-DIMMs then that?s going to cost a lot I figure.
I need a new TFT and TV and I?m wondering if it?s wise to buy a 23? TFT TV instead of two separate units. The issue is space and cost and the alternative is a 17? TFT and 24? widescreen CRT TV.
It?s a Philips 23PF9946 and has a native resolution of 1280*768, DVI & D-sub and plenty of video...
I have a nice clean install of Win2k on a DVD-R that I created in Ghost for the purpose of cloning to a new system. It was created on a PATA drive and I changed the PATA drivers back to the MS standard 2 channel drivers for compatibility purposes.
I?ve used this DVD-R a number of times to clone...
Can I upgrade my laptop with a Low Voltage Pentium M?
I have a Dell D600 which has a standard Pentium M. I noticed that the Low Voltage Pentium Ms (as opposed to the Very Low Voltage CPUs) use a voltage range that is contained within the standard Pentium Ms voltage range. The following...
I?ve been researching laptops as I need a portable PC for video editing.
My gut feeling is that a dedicated graphics card, as opposed to those integrated with the motherboard chipset, is necessary. Unfortunately, quite a few of the laptops that interest me are lacking only in this one area...
Imagine, Intel would be putting out 90 nm Athlon 64s in high volume against AMD?s 130 nm P4s in relatively low volume. Also, 90 nm S754 Semprons versus 130 nm S478 Celerons.
They?d just kill them. AMD would be out of the desktop CPU business pretty damn quick.
It just goes to show how...
I really liked my portable MP3 CD player a lot and now that it's died and after a suitable period of mourning, I'd like to replace it with something similar that also supports DVD writeable media. Any ideas?
I've been researching this for ages and chased up a number of blind alleys. Yes...
Hi,
I'm looking at buying a second-hand sub-notebook, an IBM Thinkpad 240, and I need to know whether I can use PC100 SODIMMs, as PC66 SODIMMs are pretty rare and expensive.
Thanks
