AHH! Why does HOTMAIL keep deleting my contacts!

Ok, I rencently decided I should clean up my hotmail contacts. So I set up a new Outlook Express account for it, and synced my contacts and folders. After cleaning up all the contacts, changing a few, deleting a few, I went to hotmail online and deleted all my contacts there, because last...

UK AnAndTech Lovers????

Glad to see I'm not alone, though there still don't seem to be that many people. I have to agree with the "too techy to understand" statements, AnAnd is just about right for me. I find you can generally rate how much you need to understand by the crappy spelling and number of funny...

UK AnAndTech Lovers????

Just wondering if there were many people from the UK that use this site. I started using AT when I was living in the States, and still find it much better than most UK based tech sites. Anyone disagree? NK P.S. Does anyone know of good deals sites (Like The Hot Deals one here) for the UK...

SHUT UP SHUTTLE!!

Actually, you have a point. I can only use 333 ram in my system. I must admit that I bought it whole from a small company, but they tried and tried to get the 400 mhz ram to work, and it just didn't. 333 is running fine though, if a bit slower than would be.

SHUT UP SHUTTLE!!

Hey, Aren't any 3.5 bays with a memory stick slot as well as fan controls it seems (they are all 5.25 ones), so I was thinking of buying a 3.5 fan conrol, and moving my current memory stick reader out into an external bay. I was just wondering if anyone know of any good external 3.5 inch bays...

SHUT UP SHUTTLE!!

I was wondering though, do I need a fan with a temperature sensor? I was looking around at some nice (quiet) fans, and this seemed to be a major difference. Cheers! Do you have any idea how much air flow I would need? Some claim to be very quiet, but they may be crap at cooling then...

SHUT UP SHUTTLE!!

Great! Glad to hear it is so easy, and thanks for the reminder about which way the air flows, that is exactly the kind of thing I would forget! Looks like that will be what I will do first. Any recommendations on a fan? I found a few reviews, but it sounds like you (or someone) has done this...

SHUT UP SHUTTLE!!

I read somewhere about "7 volt"ing the ATI card. It is supposed to make it a lot quieter, but no one would explain what it is. Anyone know? Will, I would get a control panel, but the XPC only has one cd drive slot. The floppy one is being used by a memory reader. It looks like replacing...

SHUT UP SHUTTLE!!

I have a shuttle SN45G with a fairly hot AMD 3200+ XP and a Radeon AIW 9800 Pro. Basically, I have had this system for a few months, and while I think it looks and performs like a F1 Racing car, sometimes I feel it sounds like one too. I can't work out which fan is causing the majority of...

Why does burning a CD slow my system to a halt?

Hey, I think the problem must be related to the DMA. I ran the NeroCheck tool (NeroInfo or something) and it found that the hard drive on the first IDE channel was using DMA, while the Sony DRu10A drive on the second channel was not. I went into control panel-system-ide controller and tried...
