Other - Hardware - October 2006

i live in the ar*e of nowhere and as a result do not recieve broadband the only thing that fone companys will sell to me is ISDN, now i got the box from Eircomm but have hit a snag getting hold of a modem, I was told wen i asked for one in maplins "We dont sell them anymore theyre obselete"
i have tried the external usb modems and they cause nothing but trouble, the pc they are attached to frequently crashes especially wen somone picks up the housefone (the box is dual line and this happens even wen the pc is using one line), and the drivers are correct and up to date
Its annoying how they can sell the box but not the card

I ordered one from Watford Electronics (savastore.com) and it never arrived, i have chased it up but got sick of being lied to.

does anyone know of anywhere else that i can get a working card?

I just need to charge the battery, and don't want to change the data on either my iPod or my friend's iTunes. Can I still charge the battery without syncing?

I am building a desktop computer. I want it to be great for gaming, video editing, etc. I have my eye on the Athlon 64 FX62 processor, but am open to suggestions. Also, which motherboard would you recommend to go with it? And what is a great video card for gaming?

I am hoping to keep the cost for everything under $600, but any suggestions would be great.

Thank You!

Right. I've spent half an hour untangling cables just to find the power supply to my graphics tablet, and it's an utter mess down there. (I also found a mouse - not a live one, but it was probably close - and a telephone and about 4 metres of ethernet cable I didn't know I had.

It's still a mess, but the graphics tablet is working...

Question is *how* does it get like that? It's not like I actively spend a portion of each day tangling things up for a laugh, or so that on a rainy Sunday I have something to do. I've already ruled out The Tangling Cable Goblin as my cat got him years ago.

(Noone mention cable ties please, I had an unfortunate incident with them, a stanley knife and electrocution once.

Oh, and happy Monday. :)

My current motherboard only supports 1.5 GB/s, and I want to get a new hard drive. Would I be able to get a 3.0 GB/s SATA drive and use it with my motherboard? That way when I upgrade my motherboard, I can get one that supports 3.0 and use the drive to its full potential. Otherwise I will have to get a 1.5 GB/s drive and when i upgrade my motherboard, it will be a waste

I want to buy a Digital camera with high optical zoom. I shortlisted Sony H5, Canon S3 IS. Both use AA batteries. It is difficilt to take out the AA batteries every time , put them in a charger and charge. Compared to lithium battery it is big hassle. Why are they using AA batteries ??

Secondly Canon has no built in memory in their cameras , could you explain the possible reasons for this and can some one from Canon reply to me as well.

Recently I have connected my front USB panel with the Motherboard.Then I plugged the Flash drive and it didn't work. I tried it on another PC but it's not working.

I think something had gone wrong when I connected the Front panel with the M/B. I'm not quite sure about the pin connections.

Can wrong pin connections damage a Flash drive?
Do you think the drive can be repaired? If so ,how?
