CDRW weirdness
Alien
Looks like I've developed another hardware prob, suddenly out of the blue. I have a Lite-On LTR-12101B CDRW, which AFAIK is supposed to use UDMA/33. Now all of a sudden it's on PIO mode, & my CPU useage goes to 100% when I do anything with the drive, whether burning a CD, or just transferring data from CD to HDD.

I have a SB Live! Value. 4 Speakers + subwoofer Driver 3509. 2. 0. 0 11-2-2001 After a couple hours of idle time only 2 speakers work out of the 4 (not including the subwoofer, it works). I have to manually set it to 2 speakers and then back to 4 again for it to work.

Dear All, I was just wondering if Any of youmight now if this board supports the Duron 1. 2GHZ processor at a 200MHZ FSB. Note that the documentation says Duron 650~950, but since the documentation is old and might not be updated, I was hoping the processor I just ordered for it should work.

Audigy Weirdness
Alien
I got my Audigy about a week ago. Installed it & everything worked fine - well, ok, so I had the same MP3 skipping thing in Winamp that a lot of ppl have, but as that wasn't the main thing I intended to use it for I figured what the hell, someone's bound to release a fix or work-around sooner or later.

Thanks to those who posted in a previous thread. I managed to sort ouy my badly behaved 1800 chip by buying a new motherboard (due to budgest restraints it was the cheapest I could get - a Gigabyte 7ZXE)- but it doesn't lock up anymore.
Question about printing forms
PinkPanther
Hello, I was wondering if there is any type of paper form with a carbon copy backing that can be used on a laser printer. I assume that no such thing exists for inkjets, since all they do is spray ink on the sheet, but since lasers use heat, I thought maybe there was someway to get the text to transfer to a second ...

Regarding case fans I have 4 - I need to know what the optimal placement for these case fans are - I would think the 2 in the back should be blowing out, and the 2 in the front should be taking in cool air.
