dir 655 bridge mode or not?

I had this, and after checking with tech support and getting no satisfaction, I'm trying other routers. FWIW.

Wireless bridge?

That's a nice g solution. Anyone have an n-solution they like? Supposedly the new Rosewill routers will do wireless bridging. I've been futzing with two of them for most of the day to no avail, though. Can't seem to find a decent FAQ on doing this, and there's nothing in the docs on it.

Cloning an XP Pro config to an XP Home install--possible? Advisable?

I have already been working with Pro on the main machine--if there were a way to downgrade rather than upgrade, that would be perfect...but I doubt there is one...?

Cloning an XP Pro config to an XP Home install--possible? Advisable?

Restoring and repairing w/ XP home is an interesting idea, thanks. I'd just be worried that this might cause subtle problems later--that's really the only reason I hesitate...anyone have more info on this or tried it?

Cloning an XP Pro config to an XP Home install--possible? Advisable?

We run a home LAN that has two of my machines, wife's work machine, a home theater PC, and a notebook. All of these boxes are licesened for XP Home. I've recently decided to make my machine a server, so I'm upgrading to XP Pro for the sake of Remote Desktop and other goodies. What I'd...

Performance loss running PC2100 vs PC3200 DDR on a Dell 865 MB?

Thanks AMDHardcoreFan, I assume you're referring to the increase in standard overall system benchmarks using, say, office applications? What's your basis for that estimate? TIA

Performance loss running PC2100 vs PC3200 DDR on a Dell 865 MB?

Thanks egale, I know that's the ideal. I'm just wondering how much performace boost I could expect, to see if it's worth the hassle and expense of upgrading. My 2 pc2100 sticks match, so I'm getting dual-channel already.

Performance loss running PC2100 vs PC3200 DDR on a Dell 865 MB?

Budmantom, I don't have the two sets of ram, otherwise I'd bench 'em myself. :) egale, it's a P4 2.4 processor, 800 mhz bus.

Performance loss running PC2100 vs PC3200 DDR on a Dell 865 MB?

I have 2 matching Crucial 512 meg sticks, and a Dell 4600 Dimension with 800mhz FSB. The system runs fine with PC2100, but can't be OC'd, so the RAM will only run at 266mhz. What kind of performance penalty can I expect? Any links to articles examining this subject? TIA, Dave

Thanks Peter, Does anyone know of a list of devices that meet this compatibility standard? I'd think most of the newer ones would, don't see a mention of this on the Sandisk website.

How much power difference btwn original 32MB ATI 32Mb Ati Radeon AIW (c. 2000) and modern cards like AIW 9000 pro?

Thanks for the replies. :) Peter, I'm actually most curious about whether the older cards would be much _less_ efficient than newer technologies like the 9000/9000 pro. It is good to hear that the 9000 does well. It makes sense that the 9600 would, with its .13 micron process. rbv5, good...

How much power difference btwn original 32MB ATI 32Mb Ati Radeon AIW (c. 2000) and modern cards like AIW 9000 pro?

I would like to put together a couple of systems for home theater and MM use, and have access to some cheap AIW 32 cards from way back in 2000. They use .18 micron technology, versus today's .13 and .15 micron technologies, and use a somewhat less efficient core. For these applications, where...
