Hello, I have two pcs that I would like to use on one monitor. The reason for this is they both produce appication errors for two dissfernt systems and I need to view both at once, however, desk space is limited..hence one monitor! Do I need to buy some software or two graphics cards to do...

Around 5 metres. Its situated in the hall and the PC is straight down from it in a room. No lead walls in the way or anything! I will try to move it into the same room just to test though. Ryan

Hello I set-up the modem/router yesterday and it has connected to the internet without any problems. However, when I run a speed test for the broadband it indicates that the down stream speed is between 1 & 2Mb. When I connect the router homepage and check the stats it says it connects at...

Many Thanks for your comments. I have partitioned into two so far, but may split the larger drive once I transfer all over my data onto it. Very pleased with the machine I have built too! I have gone from a AMD K6 @ 500Mhz to a AMD 64 3200+. the one mistake I made last night was installing...

Hello I am building a new PC and have just fitted a 200Gb SATA hard drive. I am about to install XP but was wondering if it is best to leave the drive as 1 huge partion or should a split it into two. One for the OS and apps and then the rest for data. If I should partition, what ratio? 50Gb &...

Ok I have removed the jumper but it still cannot detect. I know the drives works fine as it has come out of a working machine, I can also eject the drive. The only thing I can think of is that I am still missing something in the bios to enable PATA devices. When you go to the IDE config menu in...

Looking at the manual there is not a section for ide config in the advanced, only on the main screen and this just has config options for the SATA ports (e.g. enable or disable them). However under advanced there is an option to change the parallel port mode from EPP to ECP, not sure if this is...

I think I have already tried cable select but I will try again when I finish work. I was thinking there must be a setting to enable the IDE part of things but I cannot find it. I guess I will have another look. Most of the IDE config I found related to the raid config or which SATA drives you...

Hi all I am currently building a new pc, with the asus a8n-sli mobo. I have attached a SATA hard drive which has detected ok, but it fails to detect my IDE DVD drive in the BIOS so I am unable to load XP! I have tried another CD drive and another cable and have checked the jumper settings...
