dual core for my gaming rig ?

heh that HAS to be confusing for the OP :-) IMHO, the choice is pretty easy: do you upgrade frequently (i.e. +/- every year)? If so, go single core now, and get a dual core in your next upgrade, because in a year or so, most games will support SMP. If you don't upgrade frequently (more like...

======OFFICIAL=WHAT=MOUSE_or_JOYSTICK=DO=U=USE?

Could you comment on this one? Do you like it - any pros/cons? The reason I ask is that my current mouse is broken and I plan on getting *exactly* that one :) It's expensive, but trackballs seem pratical to me (though I must admit I never actually used one:o)

*** The ULTIMATE Motherboard Selection Guide For New Users ***

I can't help you out harobikes, but maybe that's more appropriate in a new thread, as this one is specifically about The Pentium Guy's guide (and you might get more response in your own thread as well:)). (As for the mobo/video card deal: not sure at all, but I vaguely remember there was an...

*** The ULTIMATE Motherboard Selection Guide For New Users ***

Awesome guide Pentium Guy! I'm not really looking for a motherboard right now, but it was still very interesting to read as I want to learn more about hardware (motherboards & CPU's especially). I've got an old XP 2400+ so I really should upgrade, but I'm waiting for the AM2 as I *really* want...

How is AMD better than INTEL in games?

What's the difference? Isn't MHz/GHz the unit in which clockspeed is expressed? Why the Opteron 165? What makes it so good? Overclockability? Thanks!

PATA & SATA: SATA undetected, PATA as master

stevty2889: I had a look inside the BIOS, but couldn't find anything like that... I tried autodetecting it again etc., but it still can't find it. As it works for Parkre, I guess this isn't a motherboard which doesn't support both PATA & SATA at the same time. Parkre: well I have no problem...

PATA & SATA: SATA undetected, PATA as master

Thanks for your answer. Sorry, I should've mentioned that. I used the SATA drive alone at first, so yes, it works fine and is connected correctly. I'm more and more wondering if it'd have something to do with the PATA jumpers, but then I wouldn't know what to change... Anyone an idea?

PATA & SATA: SATA undetected, PATA as master

I have an Asus A7N8X motherboard, with two drives. A 20GB maxtor PATA, and a 120GB maxtor SATA. On the PATA, I have a working WinXP. On the SATA, I have a broken Win2k (NTFS) and some Linux filesystems. What I'd like to do: keep on being to boot WinXP, and access the win2k's NTFS partition...

I am really impressed with Mandrake 8.1!

<< Mandrake 8.1 is perfect for those with a WinX background looking for an alternative OS. It is most likely the easiest to setup for a beginner (it is easier than setting up Win98). >> I disagree. Mandrake8.1 (or mandrake8.0) is easy to set up, but that's where it stops. It's VERY fastly...

Help With Linuxconf

To see if the cdrom is mounted, do this: cd /mnt/cdrom ls If you see stuff, it's mounted. Otherwise it isn't, and you should mount it like this: su rootpass mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom then locate linuxconf: locate linuxconf*rpm If the output is this: /mnt/cdrom/foo/bar/linuxconffoobar.rpm do...

Local HTTP Server: Best OS?

Hmmm why do you ask 'which OS' in the topic to then ask 'which linux distribution'? Anyway, the best thing to do is OpenBSD (VERY secure) otherwise FreeBSD. If you want to use a linux distribution: use gentoo or slackware. Those distros who have the base, not the config thing like SuSe...

How promising do you think Lindows will be?

A Question For Guys

I don't really get the point. I mean, a guy isn't that different from a gal that they speak differently or something like that ;) It's just like with a girl who says it. It means whatever you think/hope it means. We here can't really know that, only you can know that since you know how serious...
