I can find M.2 SATA to SATA and mSATA to SATA but can never find M.2 PCIe SSD to SATA adapters--I'm going to guess they don't exist. Adapter would only be used for convenience of data transfers when needed. I already know M.2 NVME PCIe to PCIe exists.

I want to build a Ryzen 7 machine with an NVME drive for work and will not be used for gaming. As many of you probably already know, Microsoft is trying to stop support for updates for anything older than Windows 10 for Ryzen 7 CPUs. There is a patch out to fix that. Just wondering if I'd be...

I'd like to setup a local PBX server. I currently have Verizon FIOS. Digital Voice comes with it which should be VoIP. It's my understanding this requires using regular analog phone to which the ONT acts as the VoIP gateway to then convert to digital--is this correct? Is this doable, and how...

More info of air compressor destroying my PC, see here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1816821 1. Budget I’ve got some money. I just don’t want to spend too much. I won’t list a budget. I just want best bang for the buck so value. 2. Components PSU RAM Motherboard APU...

As the title says, my PC won't power after cleaning it outside with an air compressor. I did a few cable/connector modifications on the motherboard. There were no symptoms--no fans turning, no beeps, or anything. Motherboard shows a couple lit LEDs. I unplugged everything except CPU, RAM, video...

Which is correct for abbreviating Operating Systems?

I want something durable. At least 1920x1080 is mandatory and so is a quality keyboard. I’ve always been a desktop kind of guy. I’m thinking 17” for a fuller keyboard. Weight doesn’t matter, and I likely won’t do much traveling with it. I’ll mainly be using it...

Just got home and this is happening. Need to do something now before it's too late. :eek:

Does anyone know? I do not want a large mouse pad. It's basically the same as the SteelSeries 4HD and 9HD but smaller. Or does anyone know any other small pads preferably under 9"x10".

I opened the cover to a SyncMaster DF997. I found the two potentiometers to adjust the focus. I was definitely able to get a way better focus than what it had. Now my question is how should I go about in finding the best focus possible? I was thinking about using a high res picture with lines...

I currently use a Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic. I'm considering upgrading to an Asus Xonar Essence STX. I don't game anymore, and I don't need EAX. It's mostly for music. I use mid-end headphones and speakers each costing around $300. Is the upgrade going to be substantial and worth it?

When my RAM comes in the mail, I'm going to install the 64-bit version of Win7. Which remastering software should I use as I see a few for Win7? Should I slipstream the RC version of SP1 or wait until the official version comes out for the first quarter? Also should I use the 32-bit or 64-bit...

I had Windows use chkdsk for my C drive the next time the computer started and now it won't boot. I booted into the D drive fine. I did updates and now that won't boot. C partition is XP File: \ntldr Status: 0xc000000e Info: The selected entry couldn't be loaded because the application is...

Lately my computer has been temporarily freezing. That is my mouse doesn't respond or keyboard doesn't respond and sometimes I get temporarily disconnected from wireless router. Today, I noticed explorer doesn't find my F drive which is my third HDD. I restart and the BIOS doesn't see it either...

I’ve read Win7 uses fewer resources than Vista. If that true, then why does Win7 32-bit require at minimum 1GB of RAM and Vista 512MB? The 64-bit version requires 2GB.

My housemate's Belkin Wireless G USB Adapter FSD7050 v3000 is not working. The ISP is Verizon. His OS is XP Pro. I've used the drivers online and the CD. It won't connect to either router -- Westell 7500 modem/router wired to a Linksys WRT54GS2 router. Both units have different IPs. In device...

What's a cheap desktop somewhere in the range of $300-400 or cheaper? No display screen, mouse, keyboard, or other peripheral devices are needed. The user doesn't need anything special. Onboard audio and video should suffice. An operating system isn't necessarily needed.

What are some good applications/resources for learning a foreign language? Europeans are probably more knowledgeable on this subject. In general, the most popular software usually isn't the greatest.

Would it be better to increase resolution or to decrease the DPI of an image to produce the best quality for a poster print? Does changing the DPI of an image actually change the quality? I know it does for the finished print, but what about the digital image? I assume it doesn't alter the...

My housemate needs a computer. He’ll primarily use it just for school work something along the lines of a grandma system, that is, nothing fancy or special. No operating system and no software is needed. Little or no gaming and no overclocking will be done. He’ll need a screen...

I tried creating a virtual disk image with Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop x64 on both QEMU and VirtualBox. I get the same damn error: "Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution". I have an AMD64 processor. I don't think VirtualBox supports a 64-bit guest OS, but I know QEMU does. I...

A nuisance I found is if I click User CP, and look at the subscribed threads and then log out. When I relogin, the subscribed threads are gone without even looking at the threads. They only reappear if someone else posts to the thread. The main problem is sometimes the forum...

Does anyone know any websites that do a decent job of listing a band’s style? I want to relabel my audio files. I’m not looking for broad genres like rock, metal, electronic, etc. I’m looking for websites that list specific styles. For example, metal styles could be...

I would list RCA, Toshiba and others, but I'm only limited to 10 options. :mad: I personally use have an iAudio X5 dual booted with Rockbox.

My DVD drive with the most updated official firmware 1.04 buzzes whenever it's used. I’m positive it’s the optical drive because it only buzzes when it’s in operation. I also noticed it jitters (rattles, shakes) when in use. I’m not sure if that’s normal. I also...

My browser, Firefox, has been acting very slowly lately. In the task manager, my CPU, Athlon 3200+ Venice, usage frequently spikes up while using the browser. Currently I’m using the most updated version, that is, 2.0.0.4. I’ve noticed some sites act particularly strange such as...

I know you have loads of pictures of women on your HDD so let’s see them. Please refrain from posting skinny women and pornography, that is, no images of nipples or “cooches” whatsoever allowed!

I've decided that I'm going to purchase an iAudio X5-60BL, that is, the 60GB version. I'll definitely Rockbox it as well as the original firware doesn't cut it. How is the durability of the DAP? Does anyone have any wise advice regarding cases? Is a case even necessary? I'm aware the X5...

There's a file named "words" in the directory /usr/dict I want to be able to find a command in such a way that would specify all the words with a given length along with certain characters in given positions. For example, how would I be able to search for six-letter words that begin...

I have two HDDs. The primary one holds Windows XP Pro along with programs and such. The second one is mainly for storage, that is, music, documents, etc. I had a 30GB partition at the end of the second HDD reserved for SUSE 10.1. I installed it and ran the OS fine and dandy. I then decided to...
