Uhh..never mind. This was just a complete case of stupidity involving not realizing that there was another port for the new LAN card :P :o

I put in a 2nd Edimax LAN card (I'm planning to make it my primary LAN card for Ubuntu & XP) but the connection still goes to my old SiS LAN Card! Even if I disable the connection of the SiS lan card, the Edimax one just shows "Network cable unplugged". I've already installed the drivers. What...

Thanks brian and seecor! :) I went and added another LAN card.

When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought "eee PC" :D Of course, when buying any gadget it's always best to think first of what it'll be used for. I'm sure you know about your mom's computer habits more than we do. Most older people (actually most people in general) are happy if they...

I already have SiS 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. I think it comes with the motherboard... However, it's not supported in Ubuntu (and it seems other distros have the same problem) so I'm thinking of adding another LAN card. Can I have both installed at the same time? Hope someone has an answer :)

Consider yourself lucky. Here in my country we get CONSTANT text message spam.. from the network providers themselves, not including the random obvious text scams that we receive as well.

....I find it funny that all of you refer to me as a "he" though I did mention in my post that I have a bf and I have little purple hearts in my sig XD :D (Well, though there technically ARE guys with bfs... XD ) Anyway, thanks so much for all your input guys! :D I can't order online so I'm...

I'm getting either an Asus one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131226&Tpk=asus%2bp5smx-se or an Intel one http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D945GCCR/index.htm so what do you think?:o Is video editing graphics card intensive?

Well actually I haven't bought the computer yet ^^; Still scouting around for the maximum power and features at the least cost for my needs, hence the question :o

...or would an integrated one be enough?:confused:

I'm not sure about that but I know this wonderful program called Windowblinds that customizes and skins EVERYTHING. And you can even download and choose over a ton of free cool skins :D

Darn Vista for being a RAM Hogger..!!! I was actually expecting it to work fine on 1 gig since that's double the minimum requirements according to M$. I'm going to use it for surfing, video conversions, DVD burning, and some image and video editing. Would I need a dedicated graphics card for...

I'm sorry, I'm not really well-versed on processors :o What processor do you think would suit my requirements? And at what specs will Vista not perform sluggishly?

Hi! :) I'm thinking of getting a desktop by the end of this year or January of next year and I'd like to know approximately how much something like this would cost: Intel Dual Core Processor 1 gig RAM At least 80 GB hard drive DVD Writer Windows XP Home My Dad agreed to buy the LCD monitor for...

Cool~ Thanks a lot!!!! :D

Is there a way to turn off pictures (JPEGs, etc) in IE? I guess the page can load faster then.

It usually happens to mine as well. What I usually do is unplug and restart the computer.

Yet another person looking for laptop advice. The screen of my VAIO laptop is seriously cracked and the costly repairs convinced me to just get a new one instead. I really like Sony laptops but they're awfully expensive so looking around, I found some laptops that seem like good deals with...

My Dad was complaining about not being able to access the internet, and when I checked out the computer, Local Area Connection (under Control Panel -> Network Connections) has disappeared! There's nothing under Network Connections. I have a sneaky suspicion this could be the work of a virus, but...
