Hardware - October 2006

How do i find out what AGP slot i've got on my motherboard. All i now is it's made by ASUS and the model number is WMT-LX. I've tried asking the ASUS but they don't recognise is on their website.
I'm looking for a new graphics card and i want one that compatible?

All i now is -
3.0 is x4 or x8
2.0 is x2 or x4

For a long time my scanner was not working with Windows XP. Then I did something, I don't know what, that got it to work properly. Now it is back to its old form and when I plug it in it says Windows does not recognize the device plugged in or something like that.

my local d drive crashed a couple of weeks ago, now my tower beeps twice periodically at me. my comp. stays on 24/7 so this goes on all day(and night!) i looked it up on net and found this,

AWARD BIOS ERROR BEEP CODES
There are 2 main beep codes for the Award BIOS:
one long beep and two short beeps - Video error (reseat or replace video card)

two short beeps - Non-Fatal Error (reseat RAM, check other components)

now i'm not a techy with this stuff, i know how to reseat ide cables etc. so i have an idea of what i'm doing. how do i do this "reseating RAM"?

I think I have accidentaly removed hardware that I didn't want to from my PC. I used the remove hardware button to disconect my ipod but must have hit the audio controller tab instead.

I plugged in a mouse while the PC was running and fried my power supply and possibly my motherboard. I thought it was just the power supply so I put in a new one and now when i turn on power the fan for the CPU comes on for a few seconds and then goes off then back on for less than a second and off again (repeating).

so is the motherboard fried too or what? any suggestions?

I was wondering that if the RAM runs programs faster does the CPU speed load the PC faster...I have no idea because i want to buy a 512MB RAM for my PC but it is only 600Mhz and not sure if the 600Mhz processor will hack the 512MB RAM. If you could let me know what the CPU speed is used for and if my 600Mhz CPU computer can hack a 512MB RAM and i also have 128MB pre-installed so together 640MB RAM...Thanks

I've got a pentium 4 1.7GHz with 1GB RDRAM (800mhz), what would be the best graphics card to get the most out of the cpu. The mb supports AGP. I don't want to waste money on a expensive card that won't reach it's full with only 1.7GHz CPU, but i need to get one thats faster than the NVidia GEForce2 MX-400(64MB) thats in there all ready.
Any suggestions please.

My Sony Vaio desktop computer is just over a year old.
The other day i switched it on as normal and find that it won't connect to the net, won't connect to the printer and the DVD rewriter wont work.
I can still load games and programmes from disc etc.
I have re-mastered the comp, but it's still the same.
Do i have to call in a repair man/woman, or can any of you help?
Please note: I am not computer literate, so please make your answers easy for me to understand.
Many, many thanks to you all.

Mac VS PC. With the advantages of both, why is it so hard to find software, games or accessories for Mac? I love my Mac, but I have such a hard time finding ANYTHING that will work on it.

Anyone have any reasons why that is? Please, no snide or sarcastic answers.
