    Windows 7 and memory utilization

    I'm looking for an easy way to determine if a Windows 7 system has enough RAM installed to handle the OS and whatever software load the user is placing on it. I'm a few generations behind in that I only know the Windows XP spot-check method: Task Manager, Performance tab, and compare various...

    Touchsmart 300z, smart choice?

    All-in-ones aren't generally regarded as powerhouse computers, so you might be asking a bit much as far as your stated needs go. While 4GB RAM should be sufficient in the short term, the fact that you can never upgrade beyond that is a serious limitation. Just my 2 cents.

    Memory problems, need advice

    I appreciate the response. Indeed, it is a waste like you said. However, my plan was to have XP installed for only 1 week and install 7 when it arrives in a few days. So it made sense for me in the short term to install all 8GB to see if they would be recognized by the BIOS and pass a few...

    Memory problems, need advice

    I am, yes. I didn't think it would cause any problems, only that XP would not "see" it. Enlighten me, please.

    Memory problems, need advice

    Help me find the right camera, please

    All of my portable electronics charge via USB which is hugely convenient for me when I travel (often) and want to bring all of my gadgets yet still travel lightly. I should have mentioned that I rarely use the camera, so the likelihood of missing the perfect shot is rare. That said, if such...

    Help me find the right camera, please

    My needs are pretty simple: * Point and shoot * Compact. Subcompact okay too. * Under $250. Ideally, $200 or less. * Must be able to charge via USB - this is crucial. Specifically, I want the camera to have a standard USB mini device port used to both charge and transfer...

    Question on TRACERT command

    Using TRACERT in Windows XP, there is the -w switch that lets you set the timeout in milliseconds. I cannot find anywhere what the default timeout threshold is when no switch is used. Any ideas? Thanks.

    User error or bad hardware?

    Thanks for the suggestions. All problems occured at idle, so idle temps were what I measured. I will, however, give Orthos a try. I may have solved the problem already, though. I never cleared the CMOS at any point in my previous troubleshoot attempts. Since I have done this, it has not...

    User error or bad hardware?

    I experienced issues under both the BIOS revision it came with as well as the latest. Then again, is it possible that Windows would have been corrupted when installed under he original BIOS if indeed it was faulty? I should just reinstall for the sake of ruling this out...

    User error or bad hardware?

    After 3.5 hours of MemTest86+, no errors. CPU temp according to Core Temp: Core0 23 degrees C / Core1 20 degrees C (measured at idle when the PC fails). ATI Tool fails. Specifically, when launched, it loads only in tray and chews up 50% of the CPU and fails to actually open. Double...

    User error or bad hardware?

    I'm with you, great advice. The only part that confuses me is about configuring the BIOS to RAM specifications. I have everything set to auto, or the functional equivalent. Is this wrong? Thank you.

    Smartphone/Outlook dialer?

    It might seem like Uber-laziness, but I was wondering if there was some Outlook plugin that would connect my smarthphone wit my Outlook contacts and cause the phone to dial a number. Would be killer from a productivity standpoint for me. Anyone know of such a product?

    Please talk me out of wasting money on S-Video cables

    I'll be getting 2 new cable boxes as part of my HTPC setup. They feature S-Video out which works perfectly with my TV tuner. I have some S-Video cables in the house that I suspect may have problems (pins look crooked) so I want to buy new ones and not waste time troubleshooting $5 cables...

    My wireless headphones are kinda freaky

    Same with my Cingular smartphone. I leave it on silent when at certain job sites since I know it will buzz the PC speakers when I get a call. Will also cause CRT monitors to flicker when the call comes in.

    Is Windows XP a real-time OS?

    Someone on an HTPC forum was stating that a Windows PC should be rock solid and stable because Windows is real time OS. At the time, no one had jumped on this guy to call BS.

    Is Windows XP a real-time OS?

    Not that I know exactly what a real-time operating system is, but I have always been under the impression that Windows is not considered a true real-time product. I'm about to go flame a guy on another forum for making claims that it is, but I figured I should first get the facts straight from...

    The one I played with didn't have that white outline surrounding the number and the key next to it. That said, I never tested out punching the adjacent key when dialing a number manually.

    Who has a Samsung blackjack?

    I don't own one, but I recently spent a few hours setting one up for a client. Awesome little phone. Thin, light, but still has a solid feel. Screen is very sharp. There were a few odd applications that I would have liked to remove if it had been mine. The numeric keypad spacing was odd...

    Any reason why this wouldn't work?

    I am the proud, new owner of a Lenovo X60. As I do with all new computers, I reformat, install the OS with the latest drivers and core applications then image the drive. Of course, this obscenely expensive laptop comes with no XP discs. I have learned that for a fee they will send me...

    Why are Europeans so stingy about water/soda?

    Playing armchair nutritionist here, the mere fact that serving sizes are smaller and refills are not free might be some of the factors that keep Europeans thinner than their American counterpart. I grew up in Europe so the mini Coke bottles never phased me, but they sure do contrast well with a...

    Disabling the display + program listing on Comcast cable

    I'm a few days away from hooking up my HTPC, using Beyond TV as a front end. It donned upon me that the Comcast show listing will be displayed along with the BTV one when I change channel, which is not good. I couldn't find any settings on how to disable this. Any ideas?

    Whoa- interesting statistic I got about people and their ISP's

    All true. But in the case of the telco's, they will come out and fix my crap, for a price. I once played electrician and killed my phone lines. So I call up Verizon and tell them to send someone out. And for an arm and a leg they did - problem solved. I would like to see other service...

    Whoa- interesting statistic I got about people and their ISP's

    You have no idea (actually, you probably do) of how much non-compliance there is when asking someone to connect the PC straight to the modem. Its like you are asking them to sacrifice their first born.

    Whoa- interesting statistic I got about people and their ISP's

    My clients look to me as the guy that gets it done, no matter the scope or complexity. It's clear that you espouse that same attributes. However, it seems like that on your scale, you can afford that higher tier of customer service. Can an ISP with millions of customers? Maybe, but I don't...
