    I tell all my clients that they should have a UPS because of not only power surges but also to cover brown outs. Try this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3403239220&category=16184 Hope that helps. :)

    Problem with notebook, please help

    I just looked at the web site and yes, if you had increased the memory all bets may be off. That is not only a situation with Sony, but with many laptop bios upgrades. And your troubles do fit the bios trouble game. What you might have to do is wipe totally the bios and revert it back to its...

    One gig should be plenty of space for your page file use. :)

    Problem with notebook, please help

    You never said that you changed the OS. Your description was implying that there was a hardware (alone) issue. To which upgrade did you move? That is a major issue here. :)

    Problem with notebook, please help

    As a tech, I am hoping I am wrong in my internal thinking, I'll try to help. Sony had several classifications of the Vaio line. And all of them have limitations as every model does. My search would begin with the verification of the 700MHz setup. You stated that the computer was...

    AGP

    Ok, glad to see that you've opened up to the possibility of a PCI card to cover your needs. Now, let's work on that price issue. I have attained several items that I sought out through eBay. With a little care of research and some due diligence, I think you might find a good solution and at a...

    New SuperElite membership

    Yes, to an extent I agree. But someone having a collective total of a few hundred posts with many containing as little as "LOL!" does not make a respondent any more valid than a new member with three posts in a topic. Content does matter, to some degree. And it truly should be left to each...

    ChitChat shouldn't count in posts

    There are many here at Elite who look/looked at the number of posts as a way of determining posting validity in issues. Not the importance or content of the points, just the number of posts. Based upon that factor, the ability to run your total up with a several dozen posts saying as little as...

    New SuperElite membership

    I don't think that there should be any more separations in status setup. But I am an advocate of the Chit Chat (and a few other areas) not counting towards the overall posting number. Several occupants in the higher class currently would lose quite a few of their counted total too. That would...

    AGP

    AGP is specifically made to deliver the better quality output for that extra umph some desire in the video image! Multiple AGP's? Good luck finding something standard. A motherboard with onboard AGP and an AGP slot (maybe) is your best bet. But I wouldn't recommend that solution as of yet...

    XP Home Crashing... Help??

    Now might not be a bad time to look into a DSL or cable modem upgrade plan. Just about every provider has a real discount program running. I'm willing to bet that you can find a very econimical plan that would make the cost worth it. Many plans provide free hardware for a year of commitment...

    XP Home Crashing... Help??

    Bingo, Lucifer Technologies! Combine that with the so-called Winmodem game and you are asking for troubles with the newer OS's. Either: A) go to a generic modem driver B) get another modem C) keep playing around with that puppy until it works (I'm sure it ultimately...

    XP Home Crashing... Help??

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. I have very little experience with the Home version of the OS but I find that your trouble is not uncommon. Yes, the bulk of your trouble is the modem driver. What modem do you have? The easiest thing to do is to contact the modem manufacturer (phone or...

    What is multi-threading?

    Here are two key points from the Hyper-Threading article: "HT will not offer noticeable performance gains, however, for non-computationally intensive applications, such as spreadsheets, word processing, or e-mails, which represent the vast majority of applications used by the average Joe...
