Hi, I'm looking at building my own NAS box with some spare parts I have hanging around, I've got two PCI SATA RAID cards, which will be running on a P4 2.4Ghz, 512mb ram system. How do I set up both cards to form a single raid array? Looking implementing raid 5, but raid 0 or 1 will do also. Do...

Hi, I'm a worring problem, when word/exel files are opened on one particular computer, office automatically closes and then attempts to recover the file. I've opened the same files on a different computer, accessed via the network, and they open no problem, even outlook does it when I attach a...

Hello, I've got a NANO-7270 board which only takes Socket 479 Pentium M/Celeron M FSB 400. I'm using Celeron M processor 370+ FSB 400 but the unit is not booting, I've replaced the processor with another Celeron M socket 479.Still the same problem, the memory is ok, I've tested that. I need to...

I've got some old data logger PCI cards which I need to get running on a new system. Looking at a dual xeon system but it's only got a PCI-x bus. Does anyone know if the PCI standard is backward compatible? For example will a PCI card (32BIT) work on a PCI-X bus (64BIT)? Will a PCI card work...

Hi all, I'm getting a weird problem when using a null modem cable to connect two PCs together, using Hyperterminal. I'm doing this to test RS232 ports (used a loopback without any issues). Once I've made the connection (both ways) I am getting symbols for every second character. This only...

I have two sticks of 258Mb ECC DDR RAM in my system, I recently removed them, to test another memory stick which worked fine. When I refitted the original memory sticksin to the same slots, I noticed my system was running slower, on further investigating only 258Mb was being detected. I've ruled...

Can anyone please tellme the best way to calculate the maximum power requirements for a PC system. For example I want to calculate the power requirements of the following system: a supermicro P4SGA mother board with a 2.4Ghz P4, i want to compare this to the same board using a 2.2Ghz Celeron...
