Add-ons - December 2007

I have a 500W power supply and the following setup:

Four hard drives - 800G total
AMD BE-2300 X2 Athlon chip on ECS Nforce6 motherboard.
Radeon 2600XT video card.
sound card
IDE controller card
1G memory in 2 DIMMS (2G total.)

With the above setup, everything works fine.

But if I install 2 more 1G memory DIMMs, the system becomes unstable. (Eventually windows goes into blue screen.)

The memory I installed is the exact same model and make as what was previously in there. I'm wondering if there simply isn't enough power for the new memory. Is this possible? Does memory take up a lot of power?

I wanna add a low profile video card that can fit into the PCI express slot.
low profile means shorter (85mm) bracket and lower voltage.
160 Volt (s3100n's power supply) is ok for all the low profile video cards to work?

Hi

I bought a SUMO 360gb external drive a few weeks back. It was working fine until this morning when I started my computer and a box appeared saying "USB device not recognised - one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it". Nothing started this....it just stopped working. I've tried the trouble shooter and tried with 3 computers all with no success.
How can I fix this....the drive has all my photos and music on and I have no back ups!
Thanks

Luke

I have a Dell pentium 4 HT-- 2.6Ghz with currently 512mb ram. with 64mb video card.

I want to upgrade my computer speed to play games such as age of empires 3 and quake wars and counter strike source.
I only have enough money to buy either 1gb of memory ram or a 256mb video card, not both.

I'm aware that video cards only make your games look better but memory ram makes the computer and games run smoother. In my opinion i care more about playing the games smooth rather than looking nice.
But i need to know you all opinions too.

which should i buy 1gb ram or 256mb video card?
This is just temporary until i save more money.

My motherboard holds a 939socket Amd 4400 x2 cpu and DDR memory i wanted to know if i could take the Cpu thats designed for 939 socket and put it into a a AM2 board i want to upgrade the memory to DDR2 or higher but the board i have will not let me go any higher with the system memory i have . I want to keep my Cpu if possible but the thing i want to do is make my memory DDR2 instead of DDR but the board i have will not let mt install this kind of memory . So i wanted to know if there is a board out there that will hold a 939 socket Amd 4400 X2 cpu so i can upgrade the memory to DDR2 or is there some memory that works like DDR2 for the 184 pin memory socket i currently have on my motherboard now. I can only find that to install DDR2 memory one needs to have 240 pin memory sockt boards. I want to be able to keep my Cpu but use it ith DDR2 memory hope you guys understand what i am saying LOL . Hope to hear what you guys have to say about this thanks.

I'm a little confused and I'll tell you why. If it were my graphic card failing the test, I would just know I can't put the graphics on max but its not. My graphics card passes it with flying colors. Btw, talking about Call of Duty 4 for PC. The only recommended I fail is the processor. Now, I'm not exactly sure what this will mean during gameplay. It probably won't be laggy because of my graphics card right? Recommended is a X1800 Pro or better and I have a X1950 Pro (radeon). So that is fine but the recommended processor is 2.4ghz dual core or better. I have a AMD Athlon 3200+ 2.0ghz clocked at 3.2ghz. (single core) Do you think I will have problems running the game on medium/max graphics? From what I know about games I would think as long as I meet the minimum requirements for processor I should be good to go since isn't the only main thing that matters the graphics card? Do you think I can smoothly play this game with my specs? I pass all other tests as well.

I have just recived a new webcam and am having trouble focusing. I have ajusted the lens but still cannot get a clear picture. I got it for free after a complaint to the store, so it may just be a cheap camera. It is from nexxtch. Is their cameras that have to be ajusted extermely (turning the knob for more than a full minute) or could this be a lighting probem

I'm looking for no less than 2gb. (Is that overdoing it?- I have a 2.3Gigahertz processor...) I am looking for the best deal on a 2GB RAM set with over or around 600 Megahertz...

Also, how can I check the Megahertz that I already have on the RAM chips I have now?- I basically want to get a grip on what I already have (512mb) and see what would be best for me...

Thank you!
