Add-ons - February 2007

I'm considering a purchase to increase my system's memory, and I was wondering if there would be any benefit to purchasing two 512MB sticks, versus one 1GB stick. I have two available slots (the other two are filled with 256MB sticks). My initial impression is that buying the two smaller sticks would allow more total pins for access, and would thus perform better, but I'm pretty dense with hardware :P.

I have an E-System 3086 laptop with only usb connections (no ps/2). Already have a ps/2 to usb adapter, but the laptop won't recognise it. I have tried all methods of installation and checked the BIOS, but no relevent options. Any help gratefully appreciated?

I just purchased a Toshiba U3 4gb flash drive. Is there any way that i can disable the U3 software from coming up every time that I plug it into my computer. It is annoying, and i can not use it at work whilst this software is popping up. I love the drive, it is the best flash drive that i have ever had

Well. I wasn't sure so I decided to post here. When will AMD's new line of products coming out along with ATI's new video cards and such? I want AMD to overcome intel's Core 2 Duo. I'm building a new computer soon so I must know. Anybody know?

I have an nvidea gforce 7800 gt card, 1gig ram, amd64 dual core processor.I am currently playing a game called Oblivion, which my computer is more than capable of running, but the problem is that every so often while i'm playing my screen will go black, aside from the game action and info bars but I can still walk around and activate menus but cannot see any environment. In order to continue I have to save, quit game and return to the point where I just saved.
I hope I provided enough info to narrow down the problem, if you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

I also tried directx troubleshoot, reinstalling the game, and slowing down my clock speed. But to no avail.

I have a surround sound system hooked up to my computer. It's got 5 little speakers and 1 big subwoofer. All of a sudden only two of the little speakers work and they sound like they're in a tin can. I've checked my volume levels and all the mute buttons. All my drivers are properly installed. What could cause this and how do I fix it?

It seems like I'm going through mouses every four months or so. I follow the directions for care and use of the mouse, but still they seem to last only a few months. Usually I dish out $40 each time...should I be spending more?? I keep getting a message that says the USB device you have connected has malfunctioned ....ANd I tried plugging into all the usb ports on my laptop.. The problem is not with my USB ports because I can plug in anything else and it works fine. So I guess there is nothing I can do to fix it?? I wonder if the manufacturer will give me my money back.

I have a Kingston DataTraveler 2.0. As my motherboard's USB slots were USB were 1.1, and I was transferring large files, I decided to get a 4 - port USB PCI card (The card has a VIA Chipset)

It works, but the BIG problem is that I cannot use USB 2.0 as I still get the messages saying that insert device into USB 2 Port, which it is! The weirder thing is when I click to find out what ports are hi-speed, USB Root Hub, with 4 ports are highlighted in bold.

Also, when I go into Device Manager, there are 5 USB Root Hubs (2 are on my motherboard anyway), but I cannot understand where the other 3 came from (they are on that PCI card, as if I disable it, they go).

The drivers on the CD were useless, same outcome as the XP drivers. Help me please!

Using a motherboard from 2000 (Via Chipset), with AMD Athlon 800, 512MB RAM, 40GB HDD, with a wireless PCI card as well.

My computer is an eMachine (T6410 )with 1.37GB of RAM, how can I check if nVIDIA GeForce 6100 will work on my computer properly and how can I install it?

I guess I'm asking if I can add a new, bigger and faster Sata drive, plug it into the MB and then just copy drive C to it. If that works I should then be able to take out the old drive ( wich is slowing in rpms ) . Sound like a plan or am I missing something?
