she got one Kingston 667 1G stick. The order has gone through I believe, but if she has to order anything else online she'll try and order another stick.

ok, so far this is what she has choosen: Processors - (2) 5130 Woodcrest Xeon Mobo - Supermicro X7DAE RAM - 1G (for now) Kingston 667 RAM Power Supply - PC P&C Silencer 750 The last thing she is looking for is a video card. At the moment she has an old Matrox and is looking to get...

I have two pioneer DVD+/-RW drives and both of them are identifying themselves in the device manager as the wrong models. In both cases while they both work as drives, trying to burn dvd's results in some strange errors. On one drive the dvd's are registering as CD's and on the other it is...

Was on "vacation" escaping hurricane Rita yesterday using my Maxtor USB HDD with my old Dell laptop. Out of the blue when I went to rename some pictures everything lost its extensions and became renamed with strange characters not in the alphabet. Attempts to open and verify that the data was...
