I have setup an Epson D68 printer on a client PC that is being shared out on the network to one other user. Firstly the user that connects to it couldn't print yesterday so i disabled bi-directional printing which solved this but now the person who had the printer connected to their pc is having problems, its taking about 4 minutes to spool and print off 1 page, any ideas?

Cheers

I am thinking about upgrading the memory on my Compaq Presario R3000 model and looking to get 1-2 1 GB RAM chips. So far I have only been looking for Kingston ones because the manufacturer recommends it. I found a compatible chip made by Smart Modular Technologies on the PCConnection.com website which offers both for half the price? What am I losing out here? Is there something I am overlooking? The Kingston chip I am considering is "1GB DDR333 Module KTH-ZD7000/1G" and the other one is "1GB PC2700 333MHz 200-pin DDR SDRAM SODIMM for Select HP Compaq Notebooks and Tablet PCs" Help please!

I have a Gigabyte k8ns motherboard with on-board LAN (NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller) and I am currently running my Ethernet / internet from a linksys BEFSR41 router to my D-Link DFE-550TX FAST Ethernet 10/100 Adapter. Is it true that there is any benefit to using either of them because I heard that on-board uses less power and memory sources, but a network card is faster for the internet and more reliable? So......which is better? I have a AMD Athlon 64 Processor 2800+ with 1.50 GB of RAM if that helps at all.

Im building my first Pc and wonder if I can try overclocking for better performance.I dont play games,but want to play with CAD/CAM rendering etc.I have a very good CPU cooler too.What I want to know is,If I buy a less expensive CPU to experiment and I smoke the thing,Will it destroy anything else?It would be cool to play around with.Otherwise,I will just start with a faster CPU to begin with and leave it be.What do I have to lose?Thanks

I heard the new Windows Vista is really good, but the question is:
Is it less laggy?
Is it worth buying..
Whats the difference between XP and Vista, besides the looks..
Whats better and whats worse..

Any feedback would be great, specially from those who actually has it.

In this case, my computer's hardrive comes in with both the CD-ROM drive and the DVD-ROM drive, but not only the DVD drive will work fine, but not the CD-ROM drive. It is either turned off because when I press the button for it to open, it will not respond at all and now I cannot place any CD's in it. Now what can I do about this situation?
