    Use Intel WiFi 4965AGN as Wifi Stick

    here's another auction with a better idea of what it might look like http://cgi.ebay.com/mini-PCI-E-PCI-E-Express-x1-adapter-card-1-antenna-/180669083818?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a10b770aa seems like it would work if the desktop approach works for you.

    Use Intel WiFi 4965AGN as Wifi Stick

    ok so i found out that your wifi card is actually decent and uses the mini pci-e connection. its not powered by any usb port. instead its powered by the mini pci-e slot on the laptop motherboard. the 3 plugs are connections for your antenna. there are 2 ways i found you can go with this. 1...

    Use Intel WiFi 4965AGN as Wifi Stick

    most wifi cards that are in laptops that i've seen usually go in a slot similar to memory in a laptop. others i've seen have a female connection on the wifi card that connects into the male on the motherboard. i don't know if we are on the same page here. i would like to see what your talking...

    Compaq C700 Wont boot

    screen goes black but are you certain the computer is hanging? try hooking it up to an external monitor via vga port to rule out that its not your lcd. you may need to toggle the fn (function) + one of your keys to activate external video port.

    external hdd's "disappear"

    your diagnostics is confusing. some work and then they dont work and then when you switch to another computer they mostly work but maybe sometimes dont. yeah do you see what i mean? one question, did this setup of yours work before without any of these problems or did you just set this up...

    what do you do when not enought pci slots or slots are covered?

    then you cant use it. or switch it out with another pci card that you can do without. perhaps a wifi card can be interchanged with a usb one?

    Use Intel WiFi 4965AGN as Wifi Stick

    when you say wifi stick do you mean wifi usb stick? or do you mean like an access point? one main problem is how are you going to power it?

    is this a good idea? a way to make a quiet video card?

    the 6770 has a faster core clock ability to overclock claims to run very cool even without fans almost half as cheap best bang for the buck also the plastic and fans were regarded as cheap material on the 6950 Cons: Im not really that impressed with the plastic fan guard. Its very flimsy and...

    Wierd Startup Problem

    yeah that would be an issue. you must have had it in to where it was just enough to randomly work on/off. nevertheless, the overclocking message is still odd to me. my thoughts are that you should have the overclocking switches on default and load default settings in the bios. disable any...

    What is slowing this setup down?

    for memory: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dp43tf/sb/CS-029150.htm check the site out for specific models of memory that are compatible. for added performance, like bugsy said i would upgrade to at least 4gb. if the price is right you can maybe do 2 x 4gb and replace what you...

    How long should memory in a dell laptop last?

    what make/model laptop do you have? what do you mean by LED? do you mean the LCD or screen? what do you mean by the A indicator? when it starts to do the thing where you turn it on and it turns back off, does the laptop on the bottom feel HOT? i don't think this is a memory issue. memory can...

    Is overclocking your graphics card bad for the card, or the computer?

    i wouldn't bother using/overclocking the 6600gt. depends on what setup you have and if its good enough, then a new video card is the way to go. if you want tell us what you got and we can go from there.

    What is slowing this setup down?

    depends on what you consider is running slow. what os are you running? what apps do you use? games? my guess is memory if your saying you have 2gb. also perhaps your slow speeds are software related.

    Wierd Startup Problem

    is your overclock fsb switch set to default? check the manual for the settings. otherwise im not sure what else could be the issue. what gets me is that when you do get it to start up you get a message about overclocking... as far as the psu being independent, it should be. motherboard and...

    Casual Gaming Graphics Card

    well its great that you made it this far and under budget. $32 for a dvi cable! better have gold contacts! haha i would say use the dvi cable for now and order one online and when you get the online one return the retail one. maybe with that money saved, you can get the memory upgrade? your...

    Two routers connected, sharing internet?

    definitely consider the speed advantage over wireless. if any of your computers are hard-wired to the router this would even be more advantageous. if you are unsure about anything you can ask. about the only thing that you need to know is the wire schematics to crimp to the plastic end. they...

    Two routers connected, sharing internet?

    you don't have to run cable inside the walls. i have run cable on the outside of the walls using a staple gun. if you have white walls like me, you can get white cables to blend in. i've used the grey before and run them along the edges of the corners. for cat 5 your limit is 250ft so if thats...
