 NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch - Blue
NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch - Blue
NETGEAR's popular FS100 series desktop switches, known for their reliability and performance, provide your LAN with high-speed, 10/100Mbps auto-sensing connectivity for as many as 8 users. Just plug in your Ethernet cables, connect a power cord, and you're ready to go-there's no software to configure. They negotiate to the fastest possible connection and with Auto Uplink technology, these switches automatically figure out if the link needs a straight-through or cross-over connection, and makes the right choice. Existing 10BASE-T devices are easily integrated within higher bandwidth environments, with full wire speeds on all ports of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps. Engineered without the need for internal fans, they operate silently. And each of these very compact switches is housed in a sturdy metal case for years of dependable use. Eight ports provide LAN access for many users. Every port supports up to 200Mbps in dedicated bandwidth and traffic is forwarded flawlessly with automatic flow control. Solidly built in small sizes that are easy to position when space is at a premium. Ideal for conference rooms, class rooms, study groups or small offices. Place it on any flat surface or use the included wall mount kit to tuck it out of the way. Once you connect the hardware, your switch is operating! Auto negotiation takes care of the speed and duplex, while Auto Uplink takes care of the MDI/MDI-X connection. Eliminate the need for toggle switches or special crossover cables. No fan means no noise, which helps maintain a peaceful atmosphere in your busy office.

what versions of Photoshop can be run on this machine? I have older versions

Dear Dsherer;

I've seen a few examples of clients putting in Photoshop software up to 5 to 6 years old---and it worked. But once you get to 8 to 10 years old, that is pushing it. Today's Windows 10 is a different beast, and it doesn't match the likes of Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Those products would virtually run anything. Anything. But Windows 10 is particular with most software. Remember the American Greeting Card program (one of the most popular of all time)? Even that one struggles to install and function right. No surprise.

Best of luck,

Let’s say that I put the Disk into my Windows XP pc, and restart my computer. Would it upgrade to Windows 10?

Dear Someguy;

Probably not. Windows XP is too far back, but if it were a Windows 7 machine, that would work. Sorry. Too many generations behind.

This TUV-certified Dell LED monitor helps prevent eyestrain from long hours of browsing thanks to its ComfortView feature.
 

Can these monitors be hooked to each other then to my DELL PC so I have 2 monitors using a HDMI cord? Sarah

Dear Sarah;

You need to plug them from a tower that has either a VGA or HDMI connection. You could have a tower that has two HDMI connectors; that would work, too. But plugging the monitors to each other is a NO GO. They are not meant to be connected together, but rather connected to a source, like a tower or a laptop. Good question, though.

Best of luck,

Best Buy's specifications for this monitor say that it has integrated speakers, but I cannot get them to work. I specifically ordered this monitor for the speakers. If it has none it goes back tomorrow. Other than the speaker issue, I love it.

Dear Tom;

I'm sure by the time you read this note, you returned it. You got it right. I have yet to see anyone using this model with a speaker wire. Other than this one feature not being available, it's a great monitor. Top 5 for 2018. Crisp and sharp. You cannot get any better than this type. I'm sure others in the future will be spectacular, but for now, this is the one to own.

Best of luck.
