Bluetooth in pc? · DIGIT-ARC

G

how do i come to know whether my motherboard has bluetooth or not.
my vendor had said it has, but since at that time i didnt require it (nor did i know what it was) I didnt bother much.

but now i have an n-gage and wanna tranfer stuff to my cell without using usb cable.

btw, how do i come to know what motherboard make and model is mine?
I know its MSI, but dont know model no and all.

ANy ideas?

Thanx and cheers!

get Fresh Diagnose from freshdevices.com.. install it.. and when u open it ull know all details starting from ur Motherboard to the OS ur using.. u can either download it from its site.. or get it from this month DIGIT CD..

man.
just do one thing..
get ur motherboard software cd.. install Widcomm software from it.. (if you have bluetooth onboard then it must be with its driver that is widcomm) . and then after installing that u will get it.

u can also find it before installation, look of "SiW" in Device Manager .. if that hardware is there then u have bluetooth !

ok....ill try both. is widcomm the only bluetooth device maker/provider ?

there are only 2 major bluetooth stack provider.. one is BlueSoleil and other is widcomm ..

There are other stacks also available but mature one are only above.

i've installed fresh diagnose and found that my motherboard is MSI kt4vl ms-6712 (phew).

on the following page, it says bluetooth pin header, bluetooth ready.

*www.firingsquad.com/hw/127/MSI_KT4VL_MS-6712-020/?viewdesc=1

now, it doesnt mention widcomm or anything of that sort.
so any ideas, on what i have to do to get bluetooth enabled on this mobo?

a little google lead me to this

*www.msi.com.tw/html/service/techexpress/communication/pc2pc_bt/page2.htm

btw i have same mobo and usb bluetooth dongle is much better than the setup involving bluetooth header, as u can take the dongle with u and plug in to any pc having usb port.

btw the info is given in ur mobo Quick User's Guide at pg 2-21

and now that uve mentioned that u have the same mobo, how do gmaes run on it? also depends on the graphics card u have (have a gefroce 2mmx)... just asking though.
