Computers & Internet - 8 December 2007

I have been using Ebay for five years now and often sold bits and bobs around the house. But lately, anything I put on simply doesn't get any 'hits', bids or interest. Yes, I appreciate that this is good for buyers as there is increased competition and a greater choice for buyers, but the listing fees seem more and more of a penalty with little selling success. Anyone feel the same here?

I have some avi files in the directory of my dedicated linux server. Would it be possible for me to watch these files and the server stream them to me using some sort of script available rather than me having to download them to my computer from the server?

It was all fine yesterday, then suddenly, I cant start my acer laptop today. I am using windows XP. It start with a check disk for consistency, scanned thru all and reported that no problem found. As normal it goes on to "the windows is starting" and suddenly, I catch a glimpse of a dark blue screen with words I am only able to see "memory" "automatic"... and then it went on to the black screen which says the windows has encounter problem and an option menu of 3 different safemodes, or previous good config, or start normally. So I chose:

Previous good config.: Same problem occurs as when I start it normally. It goes back to the option menu again.

Safemode: It didnt work. It continues on the black screen with a series of paths I do not understand and after a long while goes back to the option menu. The list of path goes something like this: multi(0) disk(0) rdisk(0) partition(0) \windows\ system32\ drivers\ mup (or BDIS or Fastfat or KsecDD there are many)

Please advise.

Alright for Christmas I'm getting a graphics card. Joy. Thing is I have a 100$ price cap on whatever I get, maybe I could talk to old people into a few bucks over but def. not over 110$. My current system is a 3.2Ghz processor, 1Gb of ram, nice power supply. I really don't even need a high end card because all I really play is CS:S and I don't see my current heap of cheap crap running anything like Crysis or COD4 any time soon so I was wondering what card I should go with to stay in my cheap freakn bum price range, there are lots of midrange cards to pick from on newegg
I'm looking for someone to pick out a card for me, semi-decent, It needs to be from Newegg, It needs to be PCI-E (X-16), and needs to be cheap, I would prefer an ATI card because ive had good results from them, I would rather have a 512MB card but a pretty fast 256 with a good gpu will do, and please for the love of god not another "leech card" that uses my ram for memory..
ill give best answer to the one i pick

I currently have 4 ports for my computer for Ram and they look something like this ...

Port A: 1GB of RAM
Port B: 512MB of RAM
Port A: 1 GB of RAM
Port B: 512MB of RAM

The reason why I did this is because before I had 4 GB of RAM. I figured since my computer didn't have an updated BIOS which I looked everywhere for and couldn't find. I returned the 2GB of RAM and replaced it with my old ones; two 512 MB of RAM. But unfortunately the store owner only let me return one out of the two because I had bought it at a different day and the return day policy expired. My computer has Dual Channel. It means that I have to have the same type of ram in the same colored ports for it to work to properly and run efficiently. They're color coordinated, Green (a) Purple (b). Anyways, I'm wondering if it's safe to have both my 512MB of RAM in my computer while I have the 1GB of RAM installed. Or should it just be all 1 GB of RAM into all ports. So far it's working fine. But I'm worried it might...

I want to buy a new mother board and a new powersupply
What should I look for when buying these things?

Is there a maximum amount of watts a motherboard can handle, I do not want to fry it.


The question is.

When buying a motherboard and a power supply unit what should I look for before buying? ?
(It will be nice to know what these things do EX. look for what kind of CPU it supports. BECAUSE IF IT IS AMD INTEL WILL NOT WORK IN IT.) something like that.

Is there power supplies that may not work for certain systems or motherboards? ?
