Do I need a new Modem?

I have a motorola Surfboard modem that is about 3 years old. They have 3 models newer than the one I have. I noticed that my modem lists it's upstream at a max of 10Mbps. The newer models list an upstream of 30Mbps. So would it be worth it to get a new one? Also, what is the life expectancy...

What to do with old PC parts?

Clean it up and donate it to your local Humane Society or other non-profit organization. :)

Safely Remove Hardware?

I have this on my computer when my printer is on. My printer is a photo printer with a card reader in it. It recognizes it as another drive. I also get it when I am using my game pad. Don't know if this helps or not

Anyone know about Venturi Tubes, or Vortex tubes

Any time you create a pressure drop or expand gas it has a cooling effect. I've been thinking about the same thing. We use both of these principles to recover propane from fuel gas by cooling it to about (-90) degrees F. In order to get a desired effect though I think it would be...

Freakin sweet!

I have the K8n New platinum board and there are 2 jumpers that need to be moved to enable the front audio from what I read in the manual. I don't use front audio so I left the jumpers on.

MX-1000

I've been using the microsoft intel pro mouse for a couple of years now. It's corded but I've never had any problems. How does the new laser mouse compare to that? And how much is it?
