Wait until AM2 comes out, those will be able to use DDR2 and they'll be out soon with basically the same chips as 939 (as far as we know) so you should be able to get an AM2 3800x2 which can use your DDR2 for around the same price as a 939 one.
Thanks a lot for the replies people. Sorry I didn't reply before- School work.
drag's post helped a lot, but what exactly is 'mounting'?
I'm also gonna check out HP's Linux course and the Guides.
Thanks a lot.
For reference I'm using Mandriva 2005 edition, haven't got around to updating yet...
I've liked using Linux and all its programmes so far, and now I'd like to get to grips with the OS on a slightly deeper level. Can you guys explain Linux's filesystem to me?
I'm fairly confused about the...
Add to that list- Flo Mounier from Cryptopsy. http://www.flomounier.com/ The vids aren't speeded up.

Yeah, .app is a file type which macs can execute/ what macs compile C progs into.
So is there any way to compile it for the PPC architecture from an X86 machine?
I don't think the GCC compiler can do it as it seems that Linux can't run .app files, but I was wondering is there any software/ way I can compile C programmes to .apps on Linux? Or would I just have to send the source Code to the Mac user?
I'll have a look at the first book then thanks. I'm fairly intelligent I guess, so I'll try and pick up the other concepts via other means.
Thanks a lot for the help Anandtech.
Aye. I intend to start learning C as soon as possible (ie when I can find the book my brother had which teaches it- We've just moved house). I figured that it'd be essential if not for actual use but for the knowledge.
Come up with any books I might be able to use then?
Thanks for all...
As far as we've got with electronics at my level is Ohm's Law and making very, very basic circuits (ie, battery-light bulb-switch) which is pretty sucky. I just asked my brother and at A level Physics (16-18 schooling) he learnt more about Ohm's law, about capacitors, some stuff with diods and...
Thanks a lot. I think I'm pretty interested in this sort of thing but there's absolutely nothing in school through which I can learn about it unfortunately, so I gotta do my own research.
A book on microcontrollers then? Do I need any specific Maths for this? I guess there's a fair chance that if I need it I can pick it up from my dad or my brother (both took Further Maths at A level- Maths qualification you get at around 18 in England) and my bro's now doing Physics at Uni, so...
So basically they'll be shipping out more S939 Opterons when they can until M2 when they may stop production but they should still support S939 after/ during M2 anyway?
Thanks.
Out of interest, I don't suppose there's anything along these lines that a 15yr old could read is there? I'm actually quite interested in CPU architecture and how they work y'see.
So, if I'm reading this right AMD are just temporarily withdrawing the S939 Opterons until they're launched for M2 as well next year?
How is this going to affect the price of X2 A64s then? I'm vaguely confused.
Fair enough, cheers people.
So, why aren't Mac releasing OSX in a box? To me it'd look like a good business move. Yeah, I think they'd loose some brand identity but it wouldn't stop them from producing complete Mac systems as well. If they released OSX on the side as well I think they'd hit...
I know Macs are moving to X86 CPU architecture and that they're getting their CPUs off Intel, but I was wondering if you could answer the following.
A) Are Apple still only going to release the Mac OS for installation on Apple-made Mac PCs or is there a possibility of them releasing it as a...
Sister on sister. OK, look at your brother? Do you want to screw the living daylights into him? Do the same with your sister, if the answer is no (which I expect for 99.9% of us it will be) then doesn't that raise questions about other people doing stuff we'd never consider?
Sorry for the HORRENDOUS necro Anandtech. But moving house and exams etc made me have to forgo the 'net for a while. Still, I wanted to come back to this thread.
I don't think that porn in itself is inherently evil, and as I said I think it should be allowed, I'm just not a fan personally...
If we can hold a mature (yadda yadda) conversation about whether we think it's a good or bad thing, what ages people should access it at, whether it's too prevelant on the internet or whatever. Anything like that.
This thread's sorta sparked by me reading the thread in the OS Forum about...
Isn't there a way to reflash a BIOS which involves getting the same model of motherboard with the BIOS you want to restore on it and linking it to your dead mobo and reflashing from there?
We've had absolute MURDER getting our wifi card to play ball with Mandriva (a Broadcom card) Broadcom won't release info on how to make Linux drivers etc and Nidiswrapping the driver doesn't seem to work for us.
Heh, what I wanted to know was whether a pad or compound was better but I couldn't remember whether it was compound or gel so I just used a brand name instead... No matter, you answered the Q anyway I think.
So Dual Channel isn't some special configuration or anything, it's just two sticks of RAM running side by side which have been tested to run that way without screwing up. So if I buy 2 1Gig sticks of exactly the same type/brand of RAM they should run together in what could be called a Dual...
I don't think AMD'd try to stamp down on OCing at all. Mainly because one of the reasons they're selling so many of their chips is because they OC better than God. They make a good product- People buy it. Why change a winning formula? They'd also risk really annoying their customers. So long as...
I was wondering, is it possible to run 'normal' RAM in a Dual Channel configuration if it's two sticks of exactly the same specs/ make? Or do they have to be specifically marked as Dual Channel RAM?
And, on the same topic what are the benefits of running Dual Channel RAM? Are they noticeable...
