Found an interesting update on penny-arcade.com today: This sucks, but I don't doubt that it happens.

I have a fairly new system here and I added some memory to it recently and had a couple crashes. Some testing revealed that it failed memtest86 on test 6 with 20 or so errors. I noticed that when I added the second two memory modules the BIOS automatically selected DDR333, I overrode that...

Got my new Gigabyte K8N-SLI PRO and am having lots of problems trying to get my USB based KVM to work with it. I need suggestions on how to get to Nvidia to get a working windows driver, but I can't see a way for an end user to submit problems with their chipsets or drivers. They require you to...

Over the last couple years I have collected a small army of stuff that I will likely never use again as everything seems to be on the motherboard now. Everything here was known to work fine when I pulled them (notes below) and I have good habits with grounding, static bags etc. I buy/sell stuff...

What are the options for a socket 939 CPU with one PCIEx16 slot and one at least PCIEx8 slot? I'm thinking of adding a SCSI card down the line. Would like to get something withing a month or two for my workstation. Nvidia: I don't anticipate using SLI but I was considering a SLI motherboard to...

I am looking to move up to a better camera. I currently have a Canon S1 IS which is 3.2MP 10X zoom and has image stabilization. Right now I feel this camera falls short on image quality (has that purple edge around high contrast areas) and of course with 3.2MP it's hard to get nice enlarged...

I would like to run a second instance of apache on a machine already running a pretty much default install. New instance would be: -on a different port -have a base directory on a different drive -be password protected, nothing crazy like ssl etc, just keep the general runn of the mill people...

I have a laptop here that I can't run chkdsk on C:. It's Windows XP and I can schedule a chkdsk for the next startup as normal but it just skips it on the next reboot and never does the chkdsk. I found some references to zone alarm causing the problem, but I don't have that. I found a...

I received this VLK (volume license) version of Win2000 Pro to install on a customers site and I did not receive a COA (certificate of authenticity) that commonly has the install key on it. Does the Win2000 VLK need an install key from a COA? Sorry, not really familiar with the 2000 VLK install.

My bos and I are working on a piece of software that in it's process of working will create a folder to put temporary items in. On our new corperate machines that have Windows XP on them the process bombs out as it can't put items into the folder we think because the folder is marked read only...

I found this on a forum about a year ago, funny read: Scylla Member Registered: Jan 2000 Location: Ancient Greece Posts: 7773 The horror of blimps Last week while travelling I stopped at a Zany Brainy store and saw that they had a blimp for sale. It's called Airship Earth, and it's a...

I have a laptop that uses MS Outlook 2000 and connects to an exchange server for email. What I would like to do is move the whole operation to a new laptop running office 2003. I know how to move the data files, but what I am looking for is a way to export the account settings and import that...

What I am hoping for is some suggestions on some higher end stuff that I can scour eBay for used. I know some of you are in IT or at least in the know, would apriciate some suggestions. So anyway what I "had" was a SMC 8505T 5 port Gigabit switch that suports jumbo frames up to 9000. The...

I just got an external hard drive enclosure and it's based on the Ali M5641A1 chipset. I want to know if I can drop in a 300Gig drive that I don't have as of yet. I checked out the white paper for the drive and I don't see that it suports 48Bit LBA. I googled a bit and what I found was that...

I am having problems with my corp laptop (win 2000) connecting to my companies VPN through my shared internet connection in windows XP. With the laptop connected directly to the cable modem everything works fine either through the VPN or normally, so it's my problem i guess. The weird part -...

Seems to be a hard question to get an answer to. Wondering if the DVI out on my AIT 9700 Pro is a Single or Dual link one. The middle pins are there and seems to be connected on the PCB.... Thinking of getting a pretty high rez LCD 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz (HDTV). Theoretically this is barely...

I got this while copying a file from my server and pasting it to a laptop. network is 802.11b. Anyone have a clue about this one? At first I tried pasting it to a USB memory key, but got the same message when pasting it to the laptop hard drive. Other files transfer fine.

I have been using daemon tools for mounting images a lot, but rencently found that it won't mount an image on a mapped network drive. Know of anything that will? Mostly looking for simple and/or free.

I am looking for a new motherboard and I have a couple of 64bit 66MHZ PCI cards, namely: 3Ware 7500-8 3Com Gigabit Server NIC 710024 Under the 3ware hardware compatability they list boards with PCI-X but they don't list PCI-X for the interface on the card capabilities, PCI-X does both? Will...

What do I need for a remote desktop connection from an XP box to a 2000 server box? Terminal services? I use this here and there at work and it works better / faster than VNC which I am currently using.

Question on XP auto login Pre SP2 I was using the "control userpasswords2" command to enable my home PC to boot straight to the desktop which worked great. I installed SP2 and this was reset and showed me the welcome/login screen. I redid the "control userpasswords2" and unchecked the users...

I have a bit of a custom machine, a Dell Latitude C800 that I upgraded the video card to a Raedon 9000 from a mobility4. Of course Dell only lists these drivers, even for the Insporon laptop that supposedly came with the R9000 (which was why I could upgrade mine). At the time there was a...

When do you think spyware is going to get some recognition as being as destructive as some viruses? A lot of the viruses lately are fairly tame in what they do it seems, and I think it's probably on the same level as spyware in information gathering and stealing don't you think? What about the...

Would love to replace these with either 4 or 6 120Gb drives, don't want to spend the money though. Please treat the pole like you were spending your own money and all you wanted was reliable data storage. Speed isn't really a factor in this case. I have eight 60Gig WD drives in my server in...

Here is a strange one. I have a Toshiba MK4021GAS that is a 40Gig drive. The BIOS reports it as a 38Gig drive and when formated it winds up at a little over 32Gig. This is a system pull from an unknown notebook and when I first took a look at the drive with partition magic 8.01 it said there...
