    [COMPLETED] Looking for a closet cleanout deal (upgrade from i7 950-Ti550) [/COMPLETED]

    I am doing a final update to this thread to say thank you to all who responded and offered to help. It turned out that I leaned on noxqzs & DooLocsta who provided exactly what I was looking for nearly free haul away and shipping. They both did a great job packaging and shipping the items and I...

    [COMPLETED] Looking for a closet cleanout deal (upgrade from i7 950-Ti550) [/COMPLETED]

    Final update Post #9 I'm on a shoestring -1 budget and looking to upgrade my office computer that my wife would deem "Good enough"... Anyone have any older hardware they want to unload? I'm only looking to upgrade the main guts as a minor step up. I used to use it for gaming like Fear and...

    [Old Dell Laptop] E6230 BT 380 module and Intel AC 7260... Can they co exist?

    I have read on multiple sites that a single laptop can not have multiple BT radios in the same device. Is this really true? I did a startup from a winter pause, some windows updates came around, then suddenly the intel BT just had a yellow exclamation with a Code 31. Unplugged each one and test...

    [WTB][Adapter] GPIB to USB > Tektronix scope

    Am I downloading the 1.2G offline installer, or the online installer? I'd like to just find the drivers and bare minimum software to allow the 2 programs to function and nuke the rest. I did see that page, but wasn't sure if the 1.2GB download was the way to go.

    [WTB][Adapter] GPIB to USB > Tektronix scope

    Item arrived and it looked like it should just plug in...but no....the width of the unit bumps into the bezel of the math module....so the connector doesn't mate properly (almost thought about Dremeling it out...but I'm like...yeah, um no). I bought a wire adapter and that fit correctly...

    [WTB][Adapter] GPIB to USB > Tektronix scope

    I honestly don't know, but it seemed like other posts on EE forums have done it, I just haven't done it personally. I can't see swinging $500 bones one an "old" scope... but I would like to be able to use that interface if I can find a cost-effective used version of anything that would support it.

    I have an older 2 channel scope and been looking for a GPIB (IEE488) to USB adapter. Even with the old hardware, they seem to be ungodly expensive. Anyone have something like this they want to unload? It is for my personal use and try to find someting that works but isn't crazy dollars...

    Resurrecting old Hp laptop

    2nd'd on the SSD, it basically resurrects most old hardware with a spinner drive. I still have two old i5's that do a great for web surfing and other mindless tasks. I use them in my RV because they cost next to nothing and still do a good job for that type of application...similar to office...

    [Recommendation] Largest flash media/organizer case of multiple types?

    I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a media storage case / organizer. I want to have all of my media all in one neat, secure carry case / location. I have about 60 SDHC cards (and growing), at least 40 USB sticks, probably 15 CF cards, 5 Sony memory sticks, and very few micro SD cards. I...

    Are these WiFi cards "legit"?

    The driver that Win10 works with 6GHz is as you describe....buggy...on Win10 startup...sometimes it starts, sometimes it don't. The other aspect is, it is locked out for Win10.... BTDT, got the T-Shirt... the latest and greatest will not let it see the 6GHz on Win10. You don't need to believe...

    [Old Hardware BIOS PXE] Lenovo X201 PXE Flash ROM Borked, trying to restore, any ideas?

    Buuuhahahaha.....I can see you verbally say those words ....and yes, I'm at the point, I think I'm back to 100% and no further action is required. I know my Lenovo Y700 has PXE too, never really thought much of it. But this has been an interesting learning opportunity. Thanks for taking the...

    Are these WiFi cards "legit"?

    If you decide on the AX210, be sure you are using Win11 because the 6GHz band as of this writing is only visible using the latest drivers using Win11. FYI, both 5Ghz and 2.4GHz work correctly in both Win10 and 11. There is a known driver that works in Win10, but it is old and on my Lenovo Y700...

    [Old Hardware BIOS PXE] Lenovo X201 PXE Flash ROM Borked, trying to restore, any ideas?

    Well, it certainly has been an interesting weekend to say the least. I worked on this as time permit with a most unusual outcome. I couldn't get my Win7 x32 to run the nvmcheck32.exe due to an entry point error issue due to Kernel32. So with that, I searched, tried the redistributable blah...

    [Old Hardware BIOS PXE] Lenovo X201 PXE Flash ROM Borked, trying to restore, any ideas?

    I'm having trouble, I reverted this to a new install of Windows 7, and all drivers in DM are functional, when I try to use the Intel IBA utility, I keep getting Entry Point Not Found when I try to run NVM check tool from their package. A quick Google search says that installing installing C++...

    [Old Hardware BIOS PXE] Lenovo X201 PXE Flash ROM Borked, trying to restore, any ideas?

    Reading some of the default settings, it "appears" that it should allow the Intel ProSet to make changes to the options, but I'm finding that the "boot" tab is not showing up when I open the device in device manager. FYI, also read that changes using Intel ProSet would allow changes similar to...

    [Old Hardware BIOS PXE] Lenovo X201 PXE Flash ROM Borked, trying to restore, any ideas?

    All right, that datasheet defines all the -DEFCFG values of what it did. There are working versions of the .bin out there (and I have) and if I could get a dump of it, that could be the key to reactivate it. I did try the control -s, but it just blew by...I'll hammer it and see if I can get it...

    Thanks for you're feedback, I plan to be as conservative as I can on this. But something has my radar active and was just wondering what your thoughts may be since you know the barrel I'm looking down if I'm wrong. The picture is becoming crystal clear from multiple Intel docs and people's...

    [Old Hardware BIOS PXE] Lenovo X201 PXE Flash ROM Borked, trying to restore, any ideas?

    Couldn't find a BIOS area, hope this is the right area to inquire. I have an old by everyone's standards Lenovo X201 laptop, was running Win10, no issues. One thing I noticed was that the Ethernet card Intel 82577LM had a Code 10 out of nowhere. Nothing fixed it, other drivers, switch to win...

    Finding the right managed switch for NAS, 2 dual routers?

    Yes, correct home LAN. From the NAS can be up to 3 1080p streams at any given time across multiple Amazon devices. I frequently upload large video files while all that goes on. I don't run Plex, but I do run Serviio (Plex alternative) which is a media server. I will fire up Visio and chuck...

    There can be 3 to 4 people using it streaming 1080p and 4k videos to various devices including me as a 5th dumping large video files during that timeframe. I am in the USA, Rhode Island specifically. Other devices include soundbars, 4K TV, bunch of Nest video cameras, Blink cameras, at least 5...

    Help with an older Creative SB X-Fi on Win10

    I am updating this for the sake of a final outcome. Using the onboard audio as the line in source and the SB X-Fi as the main audio card to my Alesis M1 Active Mk2's has worked out pretty good. It is really a lame work around from the perspective having to have 2 sound cards to have no noise...

    Help with an older Creative SB X-Fi on Win10

    I got it to work, it seems that in Win 10, you have to enable Microphone In Access to allow the line in to work via svchost.exe...I got it working with the onboard audio in and SB X-Fi as the main speaker outs...will see how it goes with the X-Fi settings muted and rebooting.
