Are there any (full featured) portable devices capable of using at least 802.11b for under 400$? There's the somewhat limited but more portable Nokia Internet Tablet thing, and I've also seen an Acer laptop selling brand new for 400$. Just wondering if there's anything cheaper out there that would also be new, or the same price but more powerful. -- Phoeba Wright OBJECTION! 12:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
To be clear, by fully featured, I mean capable of performing tasks as a desktop computer, laptop computer, etc., such as being able to use most x86 based OS, and be operated in the same manner as a desktop computer would be. I don't have any specific hardware requirements, but at least being able to look at Youtube and watch movies smoothly is preferred. Assume 700-1GHz, the Acer laptop is 1.8GHz Celeron I believe. -- Phoeba Wright OBJECTION! 12:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
i recently brought a new power supply [1] and i plugged it in and nothing happens, i get a front LED light to light up when the power is turned on but nothing else on the motherboard powers up. i tried just plugging the motherboard in and it still didnt work. i plugged the old 350 watt power supply in and everything works. i have this motherboard [2]. all the specs on the new power supply are equal or higher than the old power supply. any ideas on whats gone wrong? my first thought was possible problem as motherboard is 20 pin and power supply has 24 pin, but wikis acticle says there shouldnt be a problem-- 137.205.8.2 16:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
