Sram is the design used in CPU caches. It's much faster than dram but is more expensive to make and needs more space on the silicon. IIRC Sram uses several transistors to store a value, Dram charges a capacitor to do the same. Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got.

    Don't know what you intend making, but the web page you quoted is straight forward. However, here is a blog that uses the parallel output to drive two stepper motors attached to an etch-a-sketch. http://zedomax.com/blog/tag/uln2803/[^].

    It belongs to the adapter you are currently enumerating.... Seriously, the name for the enumerated adapters should be available somewhere. WMI, perhaps? Haven't done this before, so I really cannot say much more. Cheers, Sebastian -- "If it was two men, the non-driver would have challenged the driver to simply crash through the gates.

    Yes, that will work. It looks like the WAP54G supports WiFi Protected Access (WPA), so it will offer protection. But as mentioned earlier, linking the two routers and having them both provide connectivity on the same network will be difficult. Post your results, I'd like to hear about it.

    the 2003 DDK is OK for drivers for 2k, XP and Vista, provided its not a Ndis 6 driver. If it isyou need the Vista DDK. NT 4 has its own DDK too. Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

    Take out the LAN cable. This wil kill the IP address for it and remove it from therouting table. Give the system about 5 seconds and your wireless card will become the default IP route. Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

    I would start with any A+ certification book and go from there into your specific area of interest. PS Real computers interface with real hardware - don't let anybody tell you that you do not need hardware knowledge to be a computer geek! Cheers Vaclav

    IF the data you need to recover was actually overwritten (as opposed to being marked as empty) you're almost certainly going to have to contact a professional firm and pay $big bucks. Even if it wasn't overwritten trying to examine it via a hex editor to find missing files isn't viable unless you only need to recover a handful of non binary files. Unfortunately you're more or less SOL. Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got.

    Windows XP will not create FAT32 partitions bigger than 32GB. You have to use a different tool to do so. The reason is that Microsoft believe that NTFS is a better choice on larger drives. If you really need to use FAT32 on this drive you could try this FAT32 Formatter[^] which supports >32GB partitions. DoEvents: Generating unexpected recursion since 1991

    :) Lucky that only reseting the bios fixed the problem, sometimes it can take forever to find the problem. Running prime95 for a few days as dan neely said is a way of ensuring 100% stability, and is a very good test to do on any computers you use. To check CPU temps use SpeedFan :) //Johannes
