    understanding memory modules

    BadBigBen - that sounds logical but did you conclude that somehow from the tables ?- I can't figure out the tables. If I look at the first table : column 1 - device column 2 - 1 DIMM - I presume it means 1st slot column 3 - 2 DIMMS - I presume it means slot 1 & 2 column 4 - 3 DIMMS - all 3...

    understanding memory modules

    can't connect to internet via wireless USB adapter

    I looked at the instructions again - as you indicate auto should recognise router/AP functionality but OFF=AP and that is what I had uptil now.

    can't connect to internet via wireless USB adapter

    I used the PC1 which had the NIC connected to the AP switch for the test. With wireless USB disabled and NIC enabled, I can ping the AP and the router and go on internet.

    remove duplicate bitarrays from an arraylist

    Hi, Newbie question: I wrote this short test code to try to remove duplicate bitarrays from an arraylist - could someone please give me a hand (thought bitarrays is "built in" so it should work or is "Equals" not working with IndexOf because BitArrays are in the ArrayList? or ?)...
