I've been looking around the web for a power supply and notice that some of them have versions v1.3, v2.2, v2.0, v2.01, v2.03 and some just don't have any at all. How do i find which version to choose from? I have no information what type, version of power supply since HP support does not know. does the version number on the power supply really matter? v1.1 v2.2, v2.0, v2.01, v2.03. HP...

I've just carried out a fresh install of Vista Ultimate, and successfully installed the Logitech MX5000 bluetooth keyboard - to a point! I'm now trying to use the bluetooth dongle to connect my Nokia N73 phone to synchronise it with Outlook, which it seems to do, but I keep getting a "New hardware found" message for "Bluetooth peripheral device" requiring a driver, but neither the hardware...

I just ordered an XPS 410 with Vista 32-bit and a single SATA hard drive from Dell. I wanted two physical hard drives (not RAID) but was told that they could not install a second drive. The lady told me I could add it myself. (I can't believe Dell has fallen this far!). Anyway, I ordered a Seagate SATA drive and will install it when the system arrives. I have installed IDE drives in the...

Hi all, I've recently upgraded to Vista Home Premium on this 3 month old notebook PC.

You would want to run the upgrade advisor or go to the software makers website for compatibility issues. 3DStudio & Visual Studio both should work, though (I know that VS does). 64Bit would support the 4GB and up RAM configuration. You could use either 32Bit or 64Bit OS with that CPU. -- Dustin Harper

When I had 2gb of RAM Windows reported 1.86gb. I just doubled it to 4gb and it shows in the BIOS as 4gb but in Windows only 2.85gb. I realise that it's probably being eaten alive by my video and TV-FM cards plus other parerphernalia but isn't that loss a bit much? Is there anything I can do to improve matters or should I just ignore it? -- Peter Toronto, Canada XP Pro SP2 x 2 + Vista...

With the latest drivers for the gfx card, but only using the generic drivers for monitor as GNR can't be bothered with updating their drivers....
