We have an 18 month old Dell Inspiron 530 with NVIDIA Geforce 8300GS
graphics.  About a month ago, Windows XP died and had to be re-installed.
Since then, I have been unable to get the multimedia video controller to

Which one should be better for a administrative task like office?
I thought E7300 should be a good choose but the shopkeeper said Q8200
would be better. I always thought that you had to choose a quad when
you want to do video, 3D or gaming and the dual core should be fine

The range on our Linksys WRT160N wireless router doesn't quite
make it to the far end of the house.  Is there some way to
extend it?  There doesn't appear to be an "N" range extender.
Someone has suggested some security settings work better than

I have an MSI K9VGM-V mother board with an on board graphics adapter.  I
would like to add a PCI Ex Nvidia card but can find no way to disable the on
board card either through BIOS or a jumper on the board.  Is it possible to
add the Nvidia without disabling the onboard card?  ...

my System Config Utility/Startup contains a prog which no longer exists on
my comp.
How do I remove it from this area.

Is there such a place or do I have to visit the BIOS and make notes of
the settings?
Having all the settings in one file would help. I have found an update
for the BIOS and want a fallback position in case of a mess.

I am thinking of buying the following combo from Newegg:
GIGABYTE GA-E7AUM-DS2H motherboard
Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 2.5GHz LGA775 cpu
CORSAIR 4GB ddr2

I'm having a very strange problem with my computer. The other day I went to
use my computer and it wouldn't turn on at all. No fans, no beeps, nothing.
However the light on the motherboard was on. Some searching revealed that the
likely problem was a failed power supply so I got ...

My computing style is modest in terms of range of use and power
requirements, and as such when it has come time to replace my PSU I want
one which is modest in it's power rating so as to save both power, money
and in line with green ethics.

I have a MACHSPEED K8M8MSR2-VC socket 754 MOBO with a Athlon 64 3200+
CPU and 1.5G DDR.
Suddenly it will not start up.  It gets as far as completing memory
check and freezes.  I cannot enter the BIOS.

RE: Which is the best chip for a programmer?
Hi,
    I am going to buy a laptop (mainly for programming, surfing etc...).
Just wondering what is the best chip for a programmer (C# an Java -

I have two computers:
1. A Dell Dimension 4400 with a 500G IDE drive containing XP Home and
a long list of installed programs that I want to clone.
2. A Dell Inspiron with Vista installed on a 288G SATA drive.  The

On my MSI m-ATX board I was using the on-board RealTek audio chip until
the right-channel failed and so I fitted a Creative Audigy SE board that
was to hand. This works fine except that I seem to have lost the feed to
the front panel headset sockets. If I re-enable the Realtek ...

I need to upgrade my PSU, and I would like to know which PSU with 1000+W
will give me the best bang for the buck
BTW I would appreciate if the suggestion are available at either Newegg.ca
or TigreDirect.ca

I plan to buy a Phenom II X3 7200 CPU with a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P
motherboard. Of course, this is not an i7 board and it offers dual
channel instead of triple channel memory, even if memory is DDR3.
So, is it worth paying more for lower CAS latency.
