    ISP limiting number of connected devices

    Its a rural wireless provider, only other option was satellite and I didn't want to go there either. They mount a device on the side of our hose to get their signal and then run a line inside. Said that our router "might" work with their system but that we "might" have to buy one of theirs...

    ISP limiting number of connected devices

    Getting internet service and the provider is telling me that I will be limited to only having three devices that can access the internet. We have more devices then that on our home network currently and I am not sure what we can do. One server for example just streams our movie and music...

    Constant 0s being entered

    For reference, the keyboard is a Logitech Wireless Wave, and it did not stop with an error when I rebooted into Safe Mode. As soon as the virus scan finishes, I'll check again. I'll start entering a new password in the bios to see if there is an automatic text entry there, thats the only...

    Constant 0s being entered

    Had this happen once before some years ago, and I can not remember if it was a virus or a hardware issue. The computer tries to continuously enter 0 (zeros) in any text entry area. Tried unhooking my keyboard and mouse to no avail, and I also tried rebooting into safe mode and it did the...

    Internet Could Run Out of Capacity in 2 Years

    How true it is that the internet will grind to a halt, I don't know, these kind of predictions have been wrong in the past, but this just adds to the reasons why I hate the idea of the online application. I have no desire to have to go online to type a document, make a presentation, or even...

    Where to start???

    I've been trying to talk her in to upgrading the computer, but I'll start with a better psu unit and see if that clears up the problem.

    Where to start???

    Built a system for my sister over two years ago now that worked fine until October of last year. She started getting bad sectors on her hard drive, preventing windows from loading. We went ahead and replaced the hard drive, but the problem has come back again. So where should I start looking...

    Crossfire problems/question

    Been trying to setup Crossfire with a pair of Sapphire 1950Pros on an ECS KA3 MVP. Both cards work fine independently, but once both cards are installed, and it doesn't matter which card is where, I can not get any video signal out of the second card. I thought that you had the option to run...

    Hardware problems causing hard drive issues

    Working on my sister's computer, and I had to replace a hard drive that was taken over by bad sectors at the end of last year. Well today she brings by her computer and a new Seagate drive that I put in now has 7 bad sectors. I am starting to think that there is a problem with something else in...

    Crossfire, just as fast as a single card

    I think that I am going to go ahead and reinstall windows and see if I get anywhere there. I was wanting to repartition my hard drive to install a version of Vista that I got anyway. But I did have both cables hooked up between the cards. And I didn't see any options in the bios about...

    Crossfire, just as fast as a single card

    I got my second 1950Pro in this past week and looked forward to seeing what Crossfire would do to my frame rates in games. As a note, I have two different revisions of the Sapphire 1950Pro card. Both are 256mb models, but from what I understand, one has the digital VRM and the other is analog...

    Did amd just completely joined the ati band wagon?

    I think the problem comes from the fact that ATI was doing chipsets & video cards before AMD merged with them. And AMD now offering their own chipsets is no different then Intel doing their own chipsets. Nvidia will still be the third option for anyone buying an Intel or AMD, it really isn't...

    Core 2 or more ram

    Thanks for the replies, and like it was mentioned I am looking at a sub $1000 price range. I think that this will end up being a last minute in the store decision when I have both of the notebooks in front of me. It appears that both memory slots are occupied so it would take buying 2 - 1GB...

    Core 2 or more ram

    Looking at a couple of notebooks and I wondered which one you would pickup. One notebook comes with a Core 2 Duo T5600 with 1GB ram, and the other has a Turion 64 X2 TL-52 with 2GB ram. As a note, the Core 2 notebook also uses the Intel 950 graphics where as the Turion one uses Radeon...
