    Motel wireless coverage plan needed

    Hi guys. I'm somewhat new to business networking but I know the basics. What I need is to provide the 17 rooms in my client's motel stable wireless access. If not over 30 mbps maybe at least over 10. We get 100 mbps from the ISP and there is one problem: the infastructure is lacking LAN...

    Is my motherboards BIOS compatible with my CPU?

    If you update the BIOS from a memory stick or anything else, say, bios flash utility, then the board will boot, so the system is up and running, which is not helping the guy since the motherboard won't boot with the processor, not being supported by the board. You will get long beeps and your...

    Even with new ram, bios still says base 64k failure

    So, have you found out what was the problem causing the three beeps ? I had the same issue when trying to upgrade the ram, now it will beep on everything I do with any memory. Couldn't find the root of the problem. I am assuming it is the memory controller built onto the motherboard. (mobo dead).

    Underrated adapter to half of the specs - will it work ?

    I have a ASUS G53SW (i7 version) and I have already replaced 3 adapters and two mobo repairs. Now, The adapter seems to power a laptop that needs 3.25 A and 20 V, with the adapter supporting 20 V and 6 A. The question is: is the power adapter only supplying half of it's specs regarding amper...

    Which Memory for Q8200 Build

    I have a system with e8400, 1333 FSB with 333x9 and DDR2 at 800 Mhz, that translating to a 12:10 DRAM - FSB ratio. I increase the CPU FSB sometimes to 400 (from 333) and use 1:1 parity, which is a performance gain only for the CPU. How is your system working now ?

    New build wont boot...

    My opinion is to fing the troubleshoot guide for your specific mobo and check for the led flash sequence, maybe that is a message. Do you have a speaker connected to the mobo ? The tiny one that beeps when posting ? Any beep ? What motherboard is it ? Did you make sure all the power sockets are...
