Within the last month sombody recommended Crucial (from America) on here, I can't trace back who It was but would like to ask If anyone has used them.

The price on RAM Is about 50 cheaper compared to buying over here. 2x512.

So the questions are has anyone used them for RAM, how long do they take to deliver (standard). Is the quility as good as Kingston memorey which Is the make of supply over here?

Thanks.

Chuff Chuff Chaser, re the picture the loan pop up. I have found and removed the cookie (took some locating) will see if this will stop it popping up...

Stan, memory is pretty much a commodity these days, and there are only a small number of actual factories producing the chips, all in the Far East I think. I doubt very much that the quality would vary between Crucial and Kingston and certainly not between USA and UK. Personally I would probably look on ebay first as it might well be cheaper and probably exactly the same stuff. Consider ebay US too.

Thanks K, I'll have a look.

Hi problems installing router :-

I installed the software for voyager 2091 ADSL router and BT voyager 1055 usb 2.0 Adaptor and wired up the router as described however cannot seem to connect to the internet.

Should I have installed the adaptor usb and should I have uninstalled my existing broadband connection, if I don't use the usb do I just use an Ethernet connection. Seemed simple but there you go.

Were you using a USB modem previously? In which case uninstall it and plug the router straight into the Ethernet. There is no reason to go via USB and it will be slower. Also set IE connection options to 'never dial a connection'.

Has anyone any experience of using a booster with their router? Are they worth getting?
I run a Belkin 54G and my PC is about 40 feet and 2 solid walls away. My signal strength is so low I lose the signal every few minutes.
The booster is about 100, but will it help, or is there another remedy.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Does anyone have any experience of Speedupmypc? I came across it while searching for info on CIDAEMON.

" or is there another remedy."

I use those jobbies that relay a signal through your ring mains. Mine is a Devolo but there are lots of other brands at broadbandbuyer.

Trying to copy old VHS videos to DVD, using a scart to scart connection, and it's coming through in black and white (Copying from my VHS recorder to my Liteon HDD DVD recorder). Any ideas?

Probably a mismatch between S-VHS and VHS, both ends need to supply and receive the same type of signal.

Thanks Kayak, the Tape is definitely only VHS. Anyway, having looked at the various websites, it seems that it's far more satisfactory to copy to the PC first then make the DVD after editing on the PC - I'd still like to be able to copy directly really though.

Why doesn't my stock watch work?

Please help, before my P.C. dies a painful death.

KEAYDIAN,

Can you tell me what is happening when you try to access it?

SC. I'm about to buy a combi vhs/dvd for exactly that task (Panasonic DMR-EZ45V). I've tried various methods of copying tape to dvd without any real success.
Perhaps it's better to buy new porn? :-)

It goes to the stockwatch screen but without showing any stocks, just the usual links to Moneyam at the top of the page.

I think it's just my P.C. having a go slow day Ian, as my email isn't working that great as well.

I know........now where did I put that baseball bat.

KEAYDIAN,

Sounds like your PC is struggling to load up the applet. YOu may want to try reloading the Java Plugin, which you can download from the following link:
