Need some advice. Somebody gave me ECS 915P-A, memory, and everything except processor. Looking at the mobo's spec, it seems to support P4 3GHz 630 with 1MB cache, but all I could find is P4 3Hz 631 with 2MB cache. Could I assume that this 631 processor will also work in this mobo ...

Hi, I have Norton Internet Security installed on my XP. Recently, I've started subscribing ADSL connection. I have a Linksys WAG200G ADSL modem + router with hardware firewall. Do I need to uninstall NIS ? Won't they just do the same thing, hence redundant ? Is there any reason why I...

have Logitech Z-5500 that I use for home-theatre. My problem is the rear speakers are quite softer than the front speakers. In a real HT setup, aren't they supposed to be equally loud ?

I'm a newbie with networking, so I don't really understand networking peripherals. Lately I'm thinking of subscribing ADSL connection, so off course I need an ADSL modem. But someone gave me a LinkSys EtherFast Cable/DSL Firewall Router 4-port model BEFSX41 last year. My question is whether...

I'm in Asia, and I got a good offer for Creative speakers. The only catch is it is designed for 110v. Since I'm in SE Asia, and we use 220v, I have to buy a stepdown transformer. The question is how does it affect sound quality ? I read once that there is a big impact, but I have no idea how...

I've heard rave reviews about Aego-M, so I tried to find some user comments from this forum. The search result is only a couple of threads with meaningless comment about Aego-M. Just wondering why ? Is this speaker not considered as a vialable option like Z-2300 which is so popular here &...

Most people will probably say PC3200 will run at 166 without a problem. But I have a PC3200 module that seems to be compatible only running at 133 & 200, at least this is what CPU-Z is telling me by looking at the SPD Timing Table of the module. CPU-Z, PC3200: 133 - 2-3-3-6 200 -...

Is this true ? Frankly I don't see why it doesn't work when the Serillel is connected to the IDE connector on the motherboard, instead of the harddisk itself. Anyone can confirm ?

I have an old Altec Lansing ACS500 (which looks like the tower of Babylon) that suddenly fails. The satellites work, but the sub refuse to produce sound. It just creates a very low hum deep inside the body. I can still hear the music at a very low frequency from it, but it fails to emit...

I need a very portable notebook, and I have several questions since I've never cared so much before about notebook processor technology. I'm really blind in this mobile arena, although I know quite a lot about desktop technology. - In term of processor, I know there is Celeron-m, Sempron...
