    CDROMs compatible with Win XP?

    I got a friends computer to put a modem in and find that the Cyber Drive won't work with Win XP. Is there an inexpensive unit that will work with XP? This one was only $40.

    where are the hard-to-find fans?

    I am looking to replace some fadng fans on a few older computers. All the computer stores don't (i understand why) carry the fans for such CPU's as the pentium 100 or the AMD K5. I have also tried to find the chipset fan for the ASUS A7V133 mobo. Any suggestions of good places who sell theses?

    Well I had to be the bright guy, now i'm paying the price. I have an AsusA7V133 at work that said it had a clock multiplier of 10x and a cpu frequency of 100. The same MOBO as home said 7.5x and 133 respectively so I decided to change one at work since home unit seemed to work better..BAD IDEA...

    memory bus speeds don't agree

    I have changed the memory from PC100 to PC133. I know my mobo supports the faster bus speed. When I boot up it shows the PC100 rather than the PC133. Is there something I can do to make sure it recognizes the new memory? thanks
