RS702

smoken — Thu, 20 Jan 2005 14:53:25 GMT

Hello again,

Like mentioned before i've recently bought an RS702 (desktop).
Regarding this pc i have 2 questions:

1: does anybody know wich mainboard (motherboard) is inside the pc? I've got everst home edition installed on my pc but it say's "name of the motherboard unknown)

2: the dvd writer, does it support dual layer?

Then i've also got a third question regarding a sony DSC-P93 (digital camera), i've bought this camera one moth ago and i've noticed that the lens can move (from left to right) when i touch it. Also whem i shake the camera (not hard of course) the lens moves and it makes a bit of a sound..... I it correct that the lens is a little bit lose/instable?

Sorry if my text is a little crappy, i am from Holland so i don't really know what words to use so that you understand me better....

i think the motherboard should be intel by default contact any sony dealer .he will give you full details of system specifications.

This program should tell you. It may not say directly under the motherboard section, but if you scroll down to controllers it will say controller for XXX motherboard, which is the make you have.

There are a lot of posts on Vaio Village saying that the mainboards are manufactured for Sony by ASUS.

I am not suggesting that you do it, or even wish to, but some people have even managed to flash their bios with the ASUS bios equivelant.

This makes all the bios options available but does mean your recovery disks are no longer useable!

Regarding the camera lens, we have a Sony V1 each and the lens on both cameras is a "bit loose and a bit wobbly". I initially thought this might have just been apparent on the first (12 months old) but very recently I purchased one and it is just the same.

i don't want to flash the BIOS or anything i only wanted to know what the manufacturer was.....

(i've bought an acer pc before the VAIO and there was a verry crappy no-name mainboard in it......that's why.....)

William thanks for your answer about the lens!
