Hardware - September 2007

Is there a limit to the number of USB Hubs you can link together? For example, could you plug one 7 port USB hub into one USB port on your computer, then plug another 7 port USB hub into the original 7 port hub? Im talking about daisy chaining Usb hubs, so that potentially you've got 13 USB devices going into the one USB port on your PC.

I have an old desktop PC that presently has 2 sticks of 128MB of RAM. There is one extra slot for RAM. I still have the motherboard manual that says that each slot can run a maximum of 128MB in each socket. My question is, can I run a higher than 128MB of memory in each slot? I would like to have a total of 1GB, if possible, but afraid to buy that much if it will not work. These are PCI133, 168 pin sticks.

I have to be able to work in multiple programs simultaneously but that's my only requirement. I can keep from saving songs and photos. I don't play graphic intensive games. Occassionally I download and edit movies from my camcorder.

Will the cheap $699 work?

Hello all!
This is my first post here.
My Sony VAIO LCD computer monitor (4 years old) has a problem since the last week.
When starting up after being off for a prolonged time (monitor light amber), eg., when coming out of hibernation or standby, the monitor does not go on immediately, but blinks on and off for a few minutes. During this time the monitor indicator is blinking green and the computer indicator light is on. I can see glimpses of the desktop during the on periods. The on periods gradually increase, and then after some minutes it stays on without any further problems. Can anyone help me with this? I have scanned for viruses and the computer is clean. The only new thing is that I installed hi-speed internet several weeks ago, but it was fine until last week.
Thanks!

If I adjust the screen (close it to a certain angle), it comes back on again, and I have to open the screen really slowly for it to remain on.

If only I knew that the heatsink when removed would fry my processor due to excessive heat this won't happen but I didn't. How much will I pay for a replacement?

Specs:
EVGA 680i motherboard T1 version
Intel E6850 3.0Ghz proc, stock fan
2 Gb OCZ PC2 9600 1200 Mhz memory
XFX 8800 Ultra graphics card
Ultra X3 1000w PSU
Seagate 500 Gb sata 3g HD
Sony DVD burner 20x

The Problem:
Just built the computer about 3 days ago, everything booted fine and installed windows without a problem. Shut it down today to move to another room, and set it back up. Attempted to boot, but all that happened was the power light on the tower flash and the fans spin for a second. Took everyting out inspect connections and reinstalled. Boot it up and it worked, watched the system monitor to make sure nothing was overheating and left for a couple minutes. When I came back the computer was off and exhibiting the same behavior as before. After I press the power button and the lights flash all I can see on the motherboard is the blue and orange LED's lit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

They are both socket 478 Pentium 4. The reason I'm asking is because last time i tried to upgrade a PC i wanted to go from 700MHz to 1.2 or 1.4GHz and it didn't work (guessing my motherboard didnt support that speed.

The computer is a HP Pavilion 9720. The motherboard is the stock one.
