RAM

Ace
I got a PC-100 motherboard and I want to buy more RAM for it. Now I went to London Drugs and they said that PC-133 RAM will work on my motherboard because somehow the RAM will lower its speed to 100Mhz instead of 133Mhz.

Firewall causing 404's on 70% of my favorites

Ron_Jeremy
Firstly, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum; I have been using the same firewall for a very long time without issue. It's an old Dell box running IPCOP (a Smoothwall clone, I guess). For those familiar, it's a RED/GREEN setup, where RED = WAN card & GREEN = LAN card.

I got 2 machines running windows xp (1 desktop using a 3com905c nic, and an aopen laptop with integrated nic) the thing is that randomly both machines disable their nic, go into device manager, hit enable, and it works for a while till it disables itself again.

DOS screen size while booting

rbduck
I run XP professional. I use an NEC MultiSync LCD1700m+ monitor. The native resolution of the monitor is 1280X1024. I have my desktop set to that and there is no problem. But, When booting, everything on the screen looks like it's running about 640X480 and covers a tiny spot on the screen.

Customising the NT4 boot screen and logon logo...

Curley_Boy
Two quick questions: 1. How do I change the boot screen background colour on NT4 (the one which shows the OS ver, Processor type and amount of RAM) from the painfully bright blue to black? Is a registry hack involved or would I have to use resource hacker? 2.

Windows Update Server?

Ali
I was wondering if it is possible to make a local windows update server. the problem is that we do so many services and we need to be able to update windows o most of them. High speed internet hepls but when you have 5 systems downloading updates at a time it still takes a long time.
