I'm looking for some software that will tell me how many DIMMs are present and populated on a motherboard. I'm working remotely and so can't physically open up the computer and see for myself. Can anyone help?
How easy is it to network unlock the latest iPhone 3GS if you're using windows? I know it needs to be jailbroken first but dont know how to do that either. Can someone help me out with some advice?
Just wondering, Is there a tool available that can list and explore hidden network shares on a server? At present, in order to access the hidden shared folders I have to map a network drive to \\server\folder$, the thing is, there are roughly 100 of these shares and mapping a drive each time is a PI...
My friend has an SD card that was plugged into a camcorder which obviously was being used to record videos and pictures. At the end of a skiing holiday after using it daily he fired up the camcorder and was greeted with a message stating the sd card wasn't formatted :( He's tried the card in an exte...
As title says, i need a new wireless keyboard and mouse. Mouse needs to be of the smaller notebook variety and the keyboard just needs to be a keyboard, no fancy extra buttons or features. Obviously want it to be well built and wireless like the mouse. This is what im leaning towards for the mouse a...
Thanks again. One last thing: The photoshop ppi setting is meaningless when you're providing a file to print at a certain size, by the way - the real dpi is going to be whatever pixel dimensions you have divided by whatever size you're printing at. How does the crop dpi setting differ from the dpi s...
Ok. The scenario that led me to ask the questions is this. I've bought a 12MP point and shoot digital camera. The photos are 4000 x 3000 resolution which i downsized (resampled??) to 1024 x 768 to reduce the filesize for uploading and left the ppi at 72 in photoshop. I wasnt overly impressed with t...

If i want to ensure the best possible results when printing using an online printing service, what steps do i need to take? Whats the deal with resizing/resampling images prior to uploading? And what pixels per inch values should you use? The more im trying to understand it, the more confused im get...
Thanks for all the input gentlemen. I personally like the look of the Sandisk Sansa e280 however i'll forward all the suggestions to him and see what he thinks. I'll be jealous whatever he ends up getting...
My father phoned me in work today and asked if i could sort him out with an mp3 player. He's 70 next year and just wants something to use around the house and in the garden during the summer. Not owning an mp3 player or ever having looked into purchasing one im not sure what would be best for him or...
If you are getting a Gigabyte get the GA-P35-DS3R, no need to pay extra for DDR3 support. Not worth it IMO.
Thing is, for some reason the Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R which supports both DDR2 +DDR3 is cheaper than the DDR2 version where i am. Any particular reason for this?
The logic behind running Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz memory with a C2D E6850 on the Gigabyte P35C DS3R motherboard, with regards to FSB and 1:1 synchronisation with the memory? Will i need to OC the memory to achieve this? Im very confused at the moment and could do with your help. ...
With regards to buying an E4xxx and overclocking it (or the cheapest E6xxx), i wont be planning on replacing the cpu for a long time once its built and so i think the out of the box performance of the E6850 is probably better suited for me in the long run. If i do do any overclocking it will most li...
Ok thanks for the advice, im going to spend plenty of time deliberating over this one thats for sure. Theoretically, if i was to buy now which of the following 2 choices would you recommend? 1. Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) + GeIL 2GB PC6400C4...
Ideally id like to put together a bit of a beast that will keep me satisfied for the next 3 - 4 years. I did something similar 4 years ago ( ah the memories ) and only now with the launch of vista do i feel its time to rebuild. In a perfect world id end up with a system that didnt leave me wanting m...
Im in 2 minds as to whether to slap down a wad of cash on a completely new system right now or in a couple of months time. Its not absolutely vital that i upgrade now but the thought of a new system is proving quite hard to resist. Would it be worth waiting until around xmas time when the newer cpus...
The choice if anyones wondering is between a Samsung SM-245B 24" or a Samsung SM-226BW 22". Theres roughly £100 between the two. The difference between the models of GTX and GTS is around £50. So all in all, £150 is the difference.
Can anyone help me with a few things im not clear on while im deciding on the components for a new system im going to build?! Firstly, im unsure as to whether to go for a 22" or a 24" LCD. I've been told that graphics wise if i go for a 22" i wont need any more than an 8800 GTS 640 to...
Does anyone know of a free tool that will sit in my system tray and check multiple pop email accounts, such as gmail and my isp's pop servers? Can anyone recommend any tried and tested software that fits the bill? Thanks!
