Mandrake Linux 8.1 Boot Problem

Seems like your XFree86 Config file is messed up. If you want to fix it go to irc.openprojects.net room #mandrake and ask around.

Linux

Well it all depends what the purpose of the computer will be and of course how comfortable with Linux you are. For instance RH and Mandrake are great for desktop enviroments, easy setup and such, while Debian is excelent for the servers. On the other hand have you looked into FreeBSD? I have...

MotherBoard Specification

well id guess 133 times whatever the highest multiplier is. Check in the bios and see what the highest multiplier is. You need 14, so you can get XP 2000+ which is curently fastest running AMD

All for just over $1000. What do you think?

NewEgg is great. Also why not go with AMD? you could get it cheaper, plus better performance and no need for expensive rambus memory.

just reall quick answer YES, build dual MP. It seems that really your cpu is under a lot of stress and it can't handle all the data it should.

Win 98 Face Lift

well apparently Microsoft bought rights for Windows Blinds and that's what WinXP is using except its embeded. That is why WinXP performance lags sometimes behind Win2k.

Which SB Live Sound Card?

Yeah i also had some problems with Creative products. There are tons of other manufacturers that do do a lot better job than Creative. Also try to spend less than 100$ for sound card i'm guessing even 60$ should do it, but get some 150$ speakers, cuz they do make huge difference.

unable to talk on mic for some reason????

make sure that the right drivers for XP are loaded. If its a Creative Labs card, you might have some problems cuz Creative is horrible with XP support. I'm probably guessing that it loaded generic drivers and doesn't know how to use input port on the card.
