    You will need to understand the theory of wiring LEDs in serial vs parallel as they are diodes they drop .7 of a volt each and if you dont work it out in advance it may be a bit of a non-event :) LED Circuitry tutorial: how to hook up LEDs.

    Fallout 3 Information

    External Hard Drive

    Aye best to keep backed up - nothing more gutting that a complete data loss! If you don't like the software that comes with it why not write your own backup script using robocopy - I'm a complete convert and regularly re-write them for clients who hate the crappy bundled software that comes...

    External Hard Drive

    They last as long (if not longer) as the hard drive that they are made up from, they are susceptible to the same hardware failures as actual hard drives. Best thing is to stick to a good brand that has a loooong warranty period and never void it by opening it. Western digital, Toshiba...

    CD rom driver and usb stick does not work in safe mode

    The CD drive should read but i wouldnt guarantee burning capabilities in safe mode while it is no suprise the usb no longer works - safe mode is windows without most drivers and applications loading at startup.

    8GB of RAM a waste?

    in vista x64 it makes a great difference - i'm running 6gb at the mo and it is super slick - made a big difference in GTA4 Did you run any benchmarks before and after? Do you even use it for top-end gaming?

    Cleanup traces of all activity on laptop

    Not really in the spirit of this site mate.... You'd be best to secure wipe the hard drive and re-install the Operating system from scratch (most laptops have a built -in hard drive recovery partition nowadays meaning no stress over drivers etc.)

    USB port not working

    i have KHX8500AD2/2G 2GB DDR2 1066MHz and cant set it to 1066 now it is bus 800

    Install in slot 1 & 3 and all should be fine: "Note: Due to AMD AM2+ CPU limitation, DDR2 1066 is only supported by 1 dimm per channel."

    USB port not working

    We use them to measure voltages & resistances - you could have checked if there is any voltage (+5v) coming from the USB port.
