Murdered BIOS!

Ali

Someone has flashed the bios using intel Express bios update, thinking that he is just installing a driver! the funnier thing is that he not only ignored all the warnings by clicking yes and ok blindlly, but also after sytem rebooted and was flashing he had pulled the plug.

RAM

Ace

I got a PC-100 motherboard and I want to buy more RAM for it. Now I went to London Drugs and they said that PC-133 RAM will work on my motherboard because somehow the RAM will lower its speed to 100Mhz instead of 133Mhz.

azygos

I am planning to buy a new computer. The problem I am having is about the graphics card. I need a decent graphics card with 64 MB Video Ram and which is able to run most of the new games smoothly. One option I have is to buy an intel motherboard with integrated intel extreme graphics and ac97 onboard sound.

PCI/USB Game Ports?

pmistry

Hey guys is there anyway I can add a game port, you know the old style connectors to a new PC? My motherboard has onboard audio but no game port. I really do not want to add in an old PCI Soundblaster or something and use it just for a game port.

Mouse button double-clicking when single-clicked.

ConQueso

Seems when some of my mice age, they sometimes develop this habit. Problem is, this time, I've got a nice mouse, so I really don't want to replace it. It was doing it for a while and then not, then just as I was thinking it was a thing of the past, it's doing it again.

Anyone else have this or a similar problem? I have an Epox 8RDA+ and no matter what I do, I can't get both DMA and full read/write speeds from the Plextor drive. The drive itself is fine, as it works/worked in an older motherboard (Abit KT7a).

Router

freddy

Need some advice. I've been using a DSL router for a year now, but I think it's on it's way out. It's a Draytek Vigor 2200USB, you connect your USB modem to it. It was working fine for nearly a year but all of a sudden its started dropping connection intermittently, and it's getting worse.

Firewire Connector to Header (without card)

ViolentGreen

OK. Heres the deal. My case has front panel firewire but the connection requires an internal standard firewire connector. My firewire card does not have this. Has anyone ever seen a connector to go straight from the firewire header to a female standard firewire connector? I hope you all understand.
