I'm looking to pick up a used computer. It is a Phenom 955 + 4 gigs of ram + SLI 2x Radeon HD 4770.
How would this SLI combo compare to a single video card?
Is it possible to backup and restore more than 1 partition?For example, I have a multi-boot computer. And I want to backup them all(Windows xp, Windows 7, and Ubuntu)
If it is possible, what are the applications that offer this kind of feature?
Please give me an idea on how this works. If ever its possible.
Is there a problem using Computer Management Local User and Groups Users to change the Administrator password in Windows Home Server? Is there a chance it will cause any issues with the system? I ask as the system warns against using server tools to change settings. I have access to the system with my account, but the Administrator password isn't working,forgotten whatever and needs to be changed.
How can I identify the source of recent remote desktop connections to my computer?
While at work I connected to my desktop there (XP SP3) from another system with files I want to access. I am now at home and connected to my desktop at work but I do not know the name of the other system there.
I will be replacing my desktop computer with a laptop and I would like to connect it to my existing 5.1 sound system. Now, the Sound System have three different input channels, but most laptops only have one sound output channel. what do I need in order to connect my future laptop to my sound system? Do I need a sound card?
Example Laptop: ASUS N53JF-XE1

Hi,
My Firefox 3.6.3 started displaying weird error messages when I load pretty much every page (a few per page):
---------------------------
ActiveX Error
---------------------------
Could not create the control {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}. Check that it has been installed on your computer and that this page correctly references it.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Any ideas how can I locate which plugin, add-on etc. is causing this?
Currently, every day before I start work, I complete the following procedure:
ssh to the production server
gzip our daily database dump file
scp the gzipped dump file over to my computer
gunzip the dump file
dropdb mydatabase
createdb mydatabase
psql mydatabase < dump.sql
Is it possible (I'm sure it is) to automate this process on Mac OSX? This way it is done by the time I get to work in the morning. If so, what is the quickest and easiest way?
I would like to create a cron job that uploads files from a directory on my computer to my FTP server. I would like it to do it daily at midnight. I know pretty much nothing about cron, so I apologize if I sound stupid!
Is it possible to boot the Acer Aspire One PC from an SD card?
I have bricked an Aspire One, but it does not even start the BIOS. Aspire One have this issue and a BIOS update usually work and it helped me once in the past, but this time it's all over, and the BIOS update fails. It still reads the SD card with the magic Ctrl + Esc shortcut used to launch the BIOS update. Can I trick the computer into booting somehow using this shortcut?
Had a power outage. After restarting the computer, now whenever I start Google Chrome, a window pops up "Your preferences can not be read. Some features may be unavailable and changes to preferences won't be saved."
Nothing whatsoever in Chrome Help nor in the Chrome Forums as to how to fix the problem. How can this be resolved?
Additional edit: Uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome does NOT fix the problem.
I want to allow connection to my desktop while I work on it too. currently if someone remotely logs on to my computer, I cant work on it then. Is there a way around. thanks

Hi,
MS Word 2007 files have a property page for entering details like summary and title. This is displayed when you hover over the documents on Desktop. Now on my Windows XP SP2 computer, inside Windows Explorer, it shows the special properties for all such files from Desktop, but not from the Network Drives. This is a big problem when I have a large collection of Word documents all in one folder.
How can I display these special properties (infotips) for documents in my network drives ?
Thanks :)

Is there anyway to get rid off this problem?
Can anyone help me with this VBS script? Thanks in advance.
User logs in to a XP computer and a PowerPoint presentations or web page starts
They read through the presentation and then click a links that says: “Click here to complete presentation”.
When they click the link it will send their username and time/date stamp to a text file on a server.
The next time they log in they will not get the PowerPoint or web page presentation.
I have seen some questions that are similar to my problem but not a good solution.
Ex. User has a laptop and has a static IP address at the office. They also take the laptop off site where they also need internet.
Is there a way to configure their computer so that it will obtain an IP address automatically when the configured static address is not available (without making the user go into network configuration and changing to obtain automatically)?
Hello
I'm looking for computer cases that don't look like regular PC's in case customers would like to keep it on their desktop so it has to look stylish. I liked the Cobalt Cube:

Does someone know if some company makes cases that look the same (I know about Shuttle : they're too pricey), and possibly one that has a really quiet power supply?
Thank you.
When I try to start Chrome Web Browser, "User Account Control" window opens and ask whether I give permission to this application to make changes in my computer. I give the permission, Chrome opens but could not connect to the Internet. There is no error in the opened page. But when I try to connect to internet via IE, it works.
I've been experiencing this issue since yesterday, I was able to use Chrome before.
Just to note I am not having a problem at the moment, but have had previously so it sparked my curiosity...
When a computer locks up suddenly to so caps lock flashes incessantly and the only possibility to restart....how do you troubleshoot what is causing it? On Windows there would be some errors in the event log...on Linux it seems there is no opportunity for anything to be written to the log, making it hard to troubleshoot...
In this case, how would you troubleshoot the problem through linux?
Whenever I plug in my iPhone into my work computer Word 2007 decides it wants to start up.
How do I make it stop? Is it a registry deal, or is there an Windows interface that I'm unaware of. I'm on Win XP SP3 by the way.
Thanks
In my emacs org-mode org file I have a tag list
#+TAGS: OFFICE(o) COMPUTER(c) HOME(h) PROJECT READING(r) PHOTOGRAPHY(p)
At some point, I wish to add a new tag to the list, and apply it to an item (using C-c C-c). But the new tag does not show up in the list of selectable tags.
In order to fix this, I close and reopen emacs. But I'm sure that isn't necessary, How do I refresh this list without restarting emacs?
I feel that it's going to be very difficult for a virus to infect an ISO file. What's your experience? Have you seen it happening ever? Is it not nearly unlikely?
I ask because I've just found that my computer is infected and I wish to salvage as much stuff as possible. So I was wondering if I could keep my ISO files.
