If you can find compatible RAM, I would go that way as that will provide the biggest bang for your money in terms of performance. I would be...
XP will run on 248Mb (256 - 8 for onboard graphics). Not quickly, but it will run just fine. And 128Mb is the recommended minimum, but it will...
Did this problem just start? If the computer in your My System link is this computer, then upgrading your RAM will be difficult as RDRAM, while...
No doubt. When I was in tech school, we started with the Atomic Theory, free electrons in outer shells, reading schematics, and how to...
I've never seen one and I've been an electronics technician for almost 40 years. The reason why is cars are mostly mechanical and mechanical...
I've seen that tutorial before, and others like it and think they are a bunch of hogwash. The theory of lapping is sound, but to do it right, it...
Right. I was going on Stefan's last post above where he said,
Yeah, that part, I am still confused about. If only using the two IDE devices, you do not need a card. Note that once you press F6, you will...
Just to make sure, when I talked about installing SATA during the install with a floppy, that is not the same thing as installing the drivers for...
Hey, I'm not complaining. The Air Force sent me here 24 years ago, I retired in '95 and stayed, so it can't be that bad. But yes, just two states...
Well, I am not in Canada or Australia - hope Nebraska will do. I have read through this thread and frankly, I can't think of much else to do that...
My intent is not to side track your thread, but inform you and readers of the facts. You say I don't understand but I am afraid it is you who...
Oh? I disagree. To start, in order for a drive to be written to, it must have at least one partition which must then be formatted to receive data....
All you need for power is one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812201002 The extra pins in an SATA connector are...
Agreed, but if you are wiping a drive, that suggests it already has been partitioned and formatted.
Wow! That is a tremendously long time. I wonder if you ran it again, if it would take that long. Next time, you may just want to fill the drive...
It would be better to save your pennies and buy another identical 1Gb stick and insert that. As Pete said, you might see a little improvement, but...
Oops! Sorry, missed that in your opening post. Perhaps the solution is to put the drive into another PC as a secondary (not boot) drive and...
I like Eraser. It uses DBAN technologies, but with a GUI front end.
That depends on the tester. If it has an actual read out, you will be able to see (1) if the output is stable and (2) how far out of tolerance the...
Separate names with a comma.
