Re: [H] Power Supply
- Original Message - From: "Jason Carson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 8:06 PM Subject: [H] Power Supply My brother just upgraded his computer to a core2 duo but the power supply connector isn't large enough. It leaves 4 spots unplugged. The bare minimum wattage that some say is ok (I highly disagree) of 200, 250, 300, 350 or 400 watts that most name brand computer manufacturers and others use just is not enough. You need at least a 450 watt power supply to comfortably handle any of the newer technology CPU's and the power consuming memory and video cards etc. With this in mind, my bets are your brother's power supply is not 450 watts. If not, shop for a good 450 watt or higher power supply. Then check to see if the one you are considering buying has the 24 pin power connector. My bets are it does. When you shop, pay good money. Do not be like some who brag, "I can buy a 500 watt power supply any day of the week for $29.95." True, and you can buy a poor excuse for a real computer by purchasing some name brand junk, also. If you want a good computer, have one custom built. If you want a quality power supply, pay good money, $50.00 and up for it. It is your money and your motherboard your power supply is hooked to. If you hook to a cheap power supply (or continue with one lower than 450 watts) you often get bonus when it fails and burns up your motherboard. Often several other expensive components get toasted along with the deal. In the long run, quality performs and quality lasts. Quality costs less to own and operate in the long run. Or you can cheap out and hook up the 20 pin connector and hope for the best.

[H] Instant NAS
I was getting ready to order a Seagate 750MB drive as my annual hard
drive purchase, to keep up with Media storage, when my new June's
Maximum PC showed up, and I saw this >>
Western Digital 1 TB My Book World Edition II Ethernet Storage System
{WDG2NC1N}
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=279
Pretty cool, seems like a better idea then screwing around with yet
another hard drive to store media on. Now that Hitachi has come out
with a 1TB drive it won't take long before you see these things in
multi Terabyte sizes!
[H] LAN access 'tween XP and W2K
I'm testing WinXP-Pro. So far, so good. Looks to be very stable and solid. I am having some trouble getting my XP machine to share/converse with my W2K clients. The LAN contains a W2KServer, 3 Win2K-pro clients, and the one WinXP client. From my W2KServer, or, W2K clients, the XP client will not allow me to open the "share" directory w/o popping up a login window. And, I must login using my chosen admin/adminPW. What gives? From my XP machine I can freely open any/all "shares" of my other W2K clients w/o having to enter any UName/PW combo. I suspect this is XP-centric, but have not been able to figure our how to stop XP from demanding the system credentials from W2K clients. Suggestions? Yes, I do use "File and Printer Sharing" on all clients even though their are no shared printers. My Brother 2070N is a valid LAN client that all clients have a tcp/ip port for. Really confused about this. Thanks, Duncan This email scanned for Viruses and Spam by ZCloud.net
RE: [H] Instant NAS
I just bought the non Ethernet version of this drive and and it's pretty
nice.
It has two 500GB discs in a configurable raid array.
It's big and can be a little noisy when the fan kicks in. The 3 year
warranty is also a plus point. It's fairly fast as well.

[H] WinXP glitch w/mouse
Started yesterday. System is WinXP-pro @sp2 after system was OFF for ~4 days. Mouse is MS Basic Optical mouse Mouse driver is from IP_eng32.exe (mmouse v6.10) Mouse does not focus to the object pointed at and clicked on. What ever object is selected, all previous objects in a directory are also selected and opened. (?) Clicking on blank space of desktop lights up several desktop icons in the vicinity. Most ODD. This makes install/remove of sw difficult. Can not get XP to properly open the add/remove sw icon! Something stinks! Don't want to think it is XP, but,... :) Still doing TS on this, so any ideas are greatly appreciated. Best, Duncan This email scanned for Viruses and Spam by ZCloud.net

Re: [H] LAN access 'tween XP and W2K
With a 2k server your should just set up a domain and join all the systems to that. Then if you login to a workstation or the server with a domain account you can access any share secured with domain account ACLS. Otherwise windows will default to suppling the local login un/pw to the remote system which sounds like it does not match the shares ACLS. Also on XP boxes make sure simple file sharing is turned off, this happens by default when you join XP systems to a domain. Domains are much easier ways to handle multiple machines and you've already got the server, so why no go the extra mile? I do all my boxes shares with domain user ACLS so no matter what machine I use, being a domain user I get access. DHSinclair wrote: > I'm testing WinXP-Pro. So far, so good.

Or possibly the access feature "sticky keys". Run "access.cpl" & uncheck all the "Keyboard" "Use ..." options. JRS wrote: > Almost sounds like a stuck shift key... > > > >>> Started yesterday.
