[H] ASUS video
Greg, Do you think it makes any difference, how ever slight, in using a ASUS video card with a ASUS board. I know, in the past, you have written that brand is irrelevant with video chipsets... get the cooling solution you like at the best price point. However, I can't help that feel that a ASUS video card, in a ASUS board is going to be more compatible then say a Sapphire card. ... I'm planning on getting one the ATI 4870 cards for my new build.
[H] weird email problem
Hey Gang, An having a weird email problem. Every few days I get 40-500 bounced emails in my mail folders. AS best I can tell they have been sent by my system and then bounce back. The writing in the emails is Russian I believe. My virus checker shows no problems. (Norton and yes its signatures are up to date) Spybot doesn't show any thing. I can go several days to several weeks with this not happening ad then bang, I have 400 to 500 of them. Some of the emails show a file attached. How can I track this down and stop it? Best I can tell its originating from my system Any help appreciated.

Re: [H] weird email problem
Not that I know of, other than changing your email address. It is still possible that it is your machine. Are you running a firewall that can check outgoing connections? If so, you might try locking everything down and re-allowing stuff you know is ok. I'm sure there are many others on this list that will have better info.

[H] Question regarding mismatched DDR2 memory
I've got a stick of Hynix, DDR2 667 and also Nanya DDR2 667. Both are 1 gig, and the timings are exactly the same. Is it safe to put it into a laptop and expect proper functioning dual channels and normal operation? Is it a must to have matched pairs? -- Best Regards, Zulfiqar Naushad
[H] Memory sizes
I've noticed that a lot of laptop manufacturers are offering 3 GB memory. Does this mean that they are using 1 stick 1 GB and 1 stick 2 GB? If yes, then does the laptop achieve dual channel memory, and is the performance impaired in any way? -- Best Regards, Zulfiqar Naushad

Does this mean that they are using 1 stick 1 GB and 1 stick 2 GB? yes I just bought a ACER with 3GB, it can be upgraded to 4GB by replacing the 1GB module with another 2GB module If yes, then does the laptop achieve dual channel memory, no but the motherboard must support dual channel, it is not just a matter of how the DIMMs are installed. My guess is that only high end laptops targed to those who want to game on a laptop are going to offer this and is the performance impaired in any way? well they say dual channel support gives you 10 to 15 percent memory performance boost, which frankly is going to be damn near unnoticeable to the average user particular so on a laptop which by their nature will never be a really fast machine. -- Best Regards, Zulfiqar Naushad

[H] hidden partition
I am helping a friend with a circa 2002 Compaq EVO. It is a corporate machine he got from work. It has a Primary partition with the OS installed, I created a second partition for Data and I see a small hidden partition that I assume has something to do with Compaq's recovery disk so what happens if I delete that partition all together?

Re: [H] hidden partition
I think a lot of times on Compaq's that small hidden partition has something to do with either the BIOS or diagnostics. I'd leave it if I were you. Disk is cheap.
