those usb to video adapters use your integrated graphics to put out the picture, so the performance wouldnt gain at all from what you have other than a different connection

id check the ribbon cable. pop off the bezel, take out the screws to the lcd mounts (usually on left and ride sides of screen, and tilt the screen forward. you will see the cable right behind it. considering you have to bend/apply pressure on the screen right next to where that cable is at, its...

as long as they are from the same generation. the newer ones have different ide pinouts then the older ones you'll probably have to swap the drive, then flash the firmware from the 160gb version to the 30gb ipod be careful popping that ipod open, the halves are held together using glue AND...

if you updated malwarebytes and did a full system scan, and nothing came up, you are good as far as viruses or spam goes. next you should clean up your startup, by clicking on start, run, then typing in msconfig. go to the startup tab, and uncheck any programs you dont want to start with...

its a dedicated graphics CHIP, not card. realise that. its part of the motherboard, cannot be removed or replaced with anything better. as for upping the amount of memory it uses from your ram, thats not the greatest idea unless you are running an external monitor with a higher resolution. you...

serial ports are still used regularly in pos systems, usually the scan guns use it

i dont think anyone will be following your advice. which is ironic, considering how incredibly smart and contributing you are.

i'd start with memtest, and if it fails then check all your clock settings/timings/voltages in bios and make sure they match what the ram is rated for. your bsod error is definitely a memory error, as gamblingman has already said if memtest passes it, check your os. make sure windows sees all...

bastards. if you take it high enough with tiger direct, you might be able to score some form of compensation out of it. just be sure to let them know how pissed you are

setting the irq's for those was such a damn annoyance.

so i scored one of the factory refurbished emachines em250 netbooks today for just under 300 after tax. its got a 250gb drive, 1gb ddr2, and the regular intel atom processor and webcam. not bad of a deal, huh? anyways i got that usb gps receiver as well, it works great. havent gone to the...

first thing i'd do, before purchasing a new power supply, is making quick use of a cheap one. if you have any power supply laying around the house that works, plug ONLY the 24 pin and 4/8 pin to your motherboard, and make sure you still get the post beep. that way you at least know your...

gps is one way communication... the satellites send a signal to you, you dont send anything back. if you WERE to send anything back, you would need a satellite on ground to send back to the satellites in orbit. you track satellites, and the gps software will determine where you are by the...

nope, dont have to pay a dime. gps is one way communication, so all you do is receive. if you sent out signals, thats when paying money kicks in ;) to angel- nope, no extra slots. there is a tiny pci express thats taken up by my wireless card. the slot i wanted to hookup the gps to, is taken...

i bought a asus eeepc (900hd) from my work, and im about to grab this: http://www.frys.com/product/4900291?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG from frys. since it's usb, it shouldn't be too hard to bust it open and solder the chip in it onto a usb hub on the laptop's motherboard. what im wondering is...

dell's laptops are great. i work full time at a full laptop service store, and i HARDLY see dells come in for anything other than the usual battery replacement or fixing a bad dc jack. never anything major, now... HP and Toshiba on the other hand... one in every 4 im fixing needs a new harddrive...

try an external monitor and tell me if the problem still happens

starting online isn't easy. you have to find space for all the inventory, setup accounts with ups worldship or fedex, get a business license, and buy everything in bulk to keep your profit margin acceptable. your best bet would be to start off as a local repair guy, maybe make a simple website...

crt's still blow away lcd screens as far as color beauty goes...

i'd keep the xeon. they overclock like beasts, are built like beasts, and its hard as hell to take them down. the reason they are so expensive - built to withstand HIGH clocks and voltages, but clocked lower for extreme stability. they are server processors, they are meant to be running 24/7...
