    picture of first computer?

    I sold the 48k spectrum to upgrade to the Spectrum +2. This was a 128k spectrum with 3 channel sound chip (the same one put into the Atari ST I believe), a proper keyboard (not the rubbery dead flesh one of the previous model) and a built in cassette deck for loading/saving. This was sold a few...

    picture of first computer?

    I sold my very much loved meccano and train sets to save up the money for an original 16k Spectrum. After doing Saturday work and saving all my pocket money, I was able to buy the extra 32k to upgrade it to the full 48k about 4 months later. I still remember buying magazines and typing in...

    Opteron 165 or Raid 0

    If your worried about boot time loads, use bootviz. It'll re-arrange your driver load sequence, so that whilst one driver is waiting for something (picking up a dhcp address for example), it'll load other stuff in the background. It's dramatically improved many machines for me. Find it here:-...

    Mental Router Problem!

    As a quick test, try disabling encryption, but use MAC address filtering and hiding the SSID as a security solution. This will mean the cpu is just doing the program stuff, not the networking encryption as well.

    I need a program that generates a text file on all the file names and meta data

    Just include a "/s" with the /b, and ignore the /p as that would pause if the screen were to fill, and wait for a key to be pressed, however, the message would not be displayed on the screen

    which forceware drivers? too many..

    Just found this thread. I've just downgraded myself from 71.24 to 71.21 due to a specific problem with water "discolouration" in CounterStrike:Source. They benchmark identically in the latest 3dMark, and give better visuals in CS:Source as mentioned. Try them. I've not yet had any problems :)

    Help! BIOS flash lost MBR?

    I don't think any corruption has occurred on your disk. It seems to me that after flashing your BIOS the parameters being used for your hard disk in the BIOS don't match those used when you originally installed your OS. First thing I'd do is check the bios settings are set to Auto and LBA...

    Just put in the 3.4 800 1meg P4 478 pin Do I need different memory?

    Asus p4c800 Deluxe Use that link if your mobo is DEFINITELY a p4c800 deluxe and not a p4c800 or p4c800-e deluxe. Your new cpu was supported from bios level 1017, so put the old cpu in,switch your machine on, and note the BIOS level reported on the POST screen. If the number is lower...

    Games at 1280x1024

    Read again , LordOfLA ;) I've not seen this problem, but I would be inclined to drop the game down to 1024x768 and hopefully the game's company may support your native res in a future patch :)

    Fans On, Lights On, Yet Nothing

    Fans and lights use 12volts. If you're not getting the 5 volts, then the mobo et al won't startup. I'd be inclined to try another psu. Could you tell us why you replaced the psu in the first place ???

    Lost all input devices HELP!

    Hmmm, sounds like a bad burn of the cd not to work in all those different machines. Perhaps there is an error creeping in when slipstreaming or creating the cd. I'd be happy to post you a copy of my good cd. (I've only got a copy of v1.2 done atm).I'll try and do the latest over the weekend...
