The modem does work straight out of the box with the cd drivers, but it is faster for me to use windows update - broadband connection with proxy server in the office installs the updates in the time it takes for the driver CD to spin up...just lazy i guess... :wink:

I have never had a problem with XP and the Netcomm InModem 56 (Code: IN5699_4). Plug them in, XP autodetects and installs old drivers, run Windows Update and install 8.12 drivers, away you go....

I have had varying results with integrated adaptors and most of them have not been that great, especially on the cheaper mobos. I would also prefer to chew my arm off :wink: than sell a mATX or flexATX motherboard. Anything with only 2 dimm slots, 3 pci and no agp slot is not a good investment...

Just tried a new ASUS L3C (Pentium4-M 2.0GHz, 40Gb HDD, etc etc, 15" screen.) Absolutely wicked! 8) the default resolution on the screen is 1400*1050 which is 16:9 layout. Fantastic clarity and brightness, way better than my poxy Dell 14" screen. Unfortunantely it was only in the shop for...

What are your recommendations for a basic video card for "office" type computers, ie: used for work and not games... :wink: This is what I want (in no particular order...) - low cost (under AUD$50 wholesale extax) - totaly reliable - simple driver installation or native Windows 2000/XP...

LoL, my last three houses have all been selected on this basis. My first question to the agent is "is it OK to install cable"

Do you use the "Links" toolbar in IE? This is far better than using Favorites... Create folders in the links bar (do this from within "Organise Favorites" and you have instant drop down access to your Favs without having to open the stupid favorites column down the side of your browser... You...

I agree with the Canon 1250U2, good quality scans, fairly fast (especially if you have USB2) and the Twain capture software works well. Downsides are it does take a while to warm up (30 seconds+ to start scanning from cold start) and the photo editing and management software is average.

Has anyone else tried ASUS notebooks? I have tried / serviced Acer (yuk), Toshiba, Compaq & IBM and ASUS. Of these the ASUS have been great to work with, fairly reliable (mainly minor glitches which have been easily fixed). Also their spare parts are very cheap, memory upgrades are only about...
