Old Arcade Games

tony — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 14:18:19 +0800

Need some help / suggestion from all bros here.

If I wanna play some very old arcade games like Tetris, 1942, 1943 etc

Which consoles should I buy (if those games still exist) ?

Installing Windows 7 On TA690G Mobo

tony — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 10:53:09 +0800

The system config:

TA690G AM2
AMD A64 4000+
Kingbox 2 X 2GB DDR800
Seagate SATA II 1.5TB 7200rpm
Samsung SATA 22X DVDRW
Cooler Master Watts PSU
Windows XP SP3

Installing Windows 7 Ultimate (clean install, tried both x86 & x64) running smooth with no error. After final installation and final reboot, it stop at "Verifying DMI Pool Data....Update Success."

I have tried:

*Update to latest BIOS

*Disabled all USB, LAN, Serial + Parallel Port, Floopy Controller (Including Floopy Seek) in BIOS

*Change Hard Disk

*Change Optical Drive

*Change SATA Setting from Default "Native IDE" to "IDE -> AHCI"

*Repair Startup using Windows 7 Installation DVD (No error found)

*Running Memtest shows the RAM is working fine

All stuck at "Veryfying DMI Pool DATA....Update Success" after final reboot.

So I tried installing Windows XP x86, running smooth without a single error. So, this should ruled out hardware failure.

Anyone facing the same problem ?

Broadband Router for Enterprise

tony — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:49:11 +0800

As per topic title, i need some opinioins / suggestions on what broadband router to use for my company.

There will be about 40 internet users. Some on wired connection but most users will connect thru wireless.

I believe those cheap router for home use can't handle that amount of users and traffic. And I need to have strong hardware base firewall, build-into the router if possible.

So basically, i need recommendation on what Broadband Router and wireless AP to use.

Btw, is 2 X 4MB ADSL package (soho) for 40 users for normal web browsing and minimal download ?

Thanks.

Audio and video editing

tony — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 22:59:43 +0800

I have download a lots <snipped>, and I find out that some of the AVI files having problem with the audio, both cantonese and mandarin sound will come out from speaker no matter i switch it to right or left channel.

I would like to know what software can I use to throw away the mandarin audio files (chow movie will be highly downgraded if speak in any languages other than cantonese, right ?) and at the same time recompress the whole AVI files

-- edit by samurai1337: you don't have to mention what you downloaded
