Duron 800 with a 145w psu?

hey guys. thanks for the responses. all appreciated. yeah, i agree the duron 800 is overkill, but i've got to source the parts and provide receipts for it, and the slowest duron about is the 800 at the moment. As i say, this is a one use machine sitting in a corner indefinitely. I think it'll...

jinxed PC cases

Need advice QUICK... Anyone ever heard of a case stopping a box posting at all. I swapped a working p166 into a nice big rackmounted case, and it didn't even post. back into the old case, posts fine. Not the PSU, as i used the same one in both. Anyone ever heard of a case being jinxed? TIA

What is hotfix?

quite a few companies are now using the term 'hotfix' to mean a quick and small bug repair. They are often considered urgent. Microsoft use them, as does PGP. if you want microsoft ones, go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and see if there are any you need in product updates. :)

yeah, no more than one more 128 stick, but 256 really should be ample for win2kpro. however, as you say, it's cheap right now. Think in terms of upgrade path tho... :)

Need help getting two pc's linked together.

Just installing File and Print Sharing and TCP/IP should give you network neighbourhood connection. Not done 2 comps for a while though. two computers can have IP addresses 192.168.x.x for a 'private' network between them.

depends what 'all the necessary hardware' you have, and what you want to do with it. I assume you're talking ethernet? If you don't have a hub, make sure your cable is a crossover cable. If you want to do internet connection sharing, make the win2k box have the inet connection, then read the...

x86 family?

x86 is the generic name for the instruction set, which is why both AMD and Intel (and others) chips can run the same software. Intel calls it's family IA-32 officially i think. But both Athlon and Intel p4 families are x86. :)

Is it true Coke is more acidic than Pepsi?

The phosphoric acid in Coke and Pepsi is what causes nearly all of it's acidity. Phosphoric acid has a much greater pKa than Carbonic acid. The primary effect of sugar is to encourage the development of bacteria on the teeth i believe. Coke and Pepsi rusting nails is a new one for me, this...
