Hardware - January 2007

I bought a brand new battery pack and charged it up like the instructions told me, then put the battery on my pc as normal. It went on fine but now it is stuck and no matter what I do, I just cannot get it back off again! Anyone got any ideas? (Sensible ones not just random ideas!)

Since Windows requires that games are played full-screen, will using a wide screen monitor distort the image? Will it slow the framerate down?
Also, will Windows Vista/DX10 allow you play games in a non-maximized window?

I bought my 17" monitor(non LCD or flat screen) brand new back in 1999. My newphew came to my room and changed the settings. I tried changing it but my eye still hurts even after I changed it and I don't know what my original setting was. Can anyone help me before I go blind?

I am choosing between the following entry-level servers:
1. Dell Poweredge 1950
2. HP ProLiant DL145 G2

I am planning on deploying a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) application stack.

I am located in India. Do share your views even if you have no experience with these vendors in India. Do suggest alternative hardware to the two above?

I am considering the following factors (in order of priority):
1. Service, support, response time
2. Cost-effectiveness.

The screen on my monitor is lowered and I just have this blank space at the top and it doesnt take up the full screen like it used to which is supposed to be 1024 by 768 pixels. So could someone please help me fix this problem. If you are not understanding this problem just tell me I need to describe it better.

HI

I happened to have an old HP LC2000 Server, installed with
one PIII-933 CPU.

I managed to find another old server CPU which is PIII-866.

I wonder if I can install the said PIII-866 CPU onto the LC2000
Mother-board... (which means PIII-933 + PIII-866 on board) ?

Thanks!

Regards
Francis Goh

HP doesn't have an update yet for compatibility with the IE 7 browser. Is there a way to configure the browser to accept the printer? I need for the HP Director dialog box to come up and it won't do it with IE 7 installed. Beats me why.
