I just asked in a previous question about the Power supply ATX_12v
plug on a P IV computer.  Since we will need to buy another power
supply, and that means amil ordering it (rural area without computer
parts stores), there will be a delay.  This is for a friend because

Windows XP P&P keeps popping up each time I plug in the USB conn. for
my Epson 6400 printer. I already installed the latestest drivers from
the Epson website, and it prints fine. It's the "New Hardward Found
Wizard" that keeps popping up. There myst be some file hack or some

help ;)

saw this extra plug did not exist on the old P.S.  I was able to
google some photos of it and a description, but it seems there is some

Before you go off and try to convince me that I should go with Blu-ray, I
should say up front that it's not going to happen. HD-DVD is the official
successor to DVD, and I've been burned by Sony's proprietary formats in the
past. I also don't appreciate what seems to me to be ...

When I initially installed my processor, I used the Arctic Silver 5
thermal compound.  Now the CPU is exposed until the new motherboard
