OK, I've been working with computers since the late seventies, which as well as showing my age, still begs a question.
One of my current keyboards has things like "Favorites" on it,
fair enough, but after all this I still do not see the point of the "SysRq" or as it used to be, in the same place, the "SysChk" key.
In BIOS, DOS, various platforms, it seems not to do a damn thing.

Surely there is a reason for it.
What is it for I ask ?
If I need a system check, I just crank up a bit of software.
The button seems to be useless.
I must be missing something here ..........
Amusing resonses happily recieved.

I have had this problem before, so I got my laptop erased. I then used its recovry disc to put everything back on. The problem stopped for a short while and began again. I also tried to increase the pageing file size. that didn't work. Last I tried to reinstall the audio driver. Didn't work. Any other idea would be greatly appreciated.

I promised my son who is only 14 a computer but he is expecting an expensive HP M7680N for gaming which I do not want to encourage since he has started high school and should be in serious business. I think $1200 is too much money for the purpose and would like to, at least, find out if that model is what he really needs, whether I can find something similar but cost less. H-E-L-P!!

Here are my new PC spec. I did ask a while ago regarding Core 2 Dou, Pentium D and Pentium 4. And here my final spec.

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz on Intel Mobo D975XBX
1 Gb RAM Kingston (2 x 512 DRR2 667)
250 Gb SATA HDD Maxtor
512 PCI express 16x ATI Radeon X1600Pro PowerColor
18x Samsung DVD /- RW Dual Layer
Card reader
17" CRT LG Flatron
Logitec Internet keyboard and mouse
Simbadda case 450Watt with 4 fans

Hope this last 3 years. Is this setup good for graphics design and gaming? I spent USD1011 already and that's it. No more upgrade for 3 following years (may be just the RAM in 1 year)

Any idea my next upgrade?

I have a very new dell xps 200. and it runs great 99% of the time. But every now and then it will freeze up and i will have to re-set it in order to get it to run right. I do regular virus scans and i defrag and delete old internet files, i also run scans to see if there are any problums, but it shows everything is fine. What are some ressons that this would happen to my computer? And what can i do about it in the future? Also is this a common thing to happen to computers or is this a bad sign of a breakdown in progress?

I recently acquired two AC 850 Sierra wireless aircards . The invoice will show that these cards were purchased from Sierra Wireless Inc Richmond Canada last July 31, 2006. Total price as per invoice is CAD $790( USD $707). I would like to sell both cards for about $529. Both AC850's are unopened and in their original DVD type case.

Why am I selling this at a loss? I decided to use the Sierra AC775 instead of the 850 as this is the only one supported by the service provider in my area.
