Maximum number of IDE Devices connected in ATX computer?

On a standard Atx Motherboard IDE specifies that no more than 2 devices per bus, so if you have a 2 IDE bus computer you can have 4 devices. Some computers have 4 IDE busses in which case you could have 8 devices (these use a 'Promise IDE raid chipset')

This time, we can see information which identifies our video card. In this case, a GeForce FX 5200. If the video card still can't be identified by this step, try the following commands, pressing enter after each one. d c000:0150
d c000:01c0
d c000:0230
If after these 3 additional commands, the video card isn't identified, the case will need to be opened to physically inspect the video card.

Definition of internal fragmentation and external fragmentation?

External Fragmentation: External Fragmentation happens when a dynamic memory allocation algorithm allocates some memory and a small piece is left over that cannot be effectively used. If too much external fragmentation occurs, the amount of usable memory is drastically reduced. Total memory space exists to satisfy a request, but it is not contiguous.

Internal Fragmentation: Internal fragmentation is the space wasted inside of allocated memory blocks because of restriction on the allowed sizes of allocated blocks. Allocated memory may be slightly larger than requested memory; this size difference is memory internal to a partition, but not being used

My computer is randomly showing pages like singles.net when I do not click on anything what does this mean and how can i stop this?

Your computer has been infected with malicious software. Since you do not seem to be technically inclined, try these


a) grab a geek. This could be a technically inclined friend, or a guy from a paid service.

b) back up your data while you still can. I cannot stress this enough. Copy all of your important files (pictures, documents, music, etc...) onto another hard drive (internal, external, UMS-enabled iPod) or flash drive. This way, if worse comes to worse, you will always be able to wipe your computer, reinstall everything, and still have your data.


Though there are many ways that you could have been infected, the majority of such infections comes from torrenting files (uTorrent, Limewire sound familiar?) and visiting objectionable websites *ahem*

No. Hackers are generally regarded as external human threats. Internal human threats include disgruntled employees. They may also be hackers, but the fact they are employees makes them an internal threat, not the fact they are hackers.

Do some older LANs still use an older version of Ethernet that operates at about 10mbps?

Yes. Ten base T is still being used in some older college campuses and I am sure some businesses are also using it.

The technology is old, but still useful to some.
