I just tried that and didnt see any difference and the performance went down a little, so I turned it back off :) Joe

WOW... That was it man... I had always set the AA and AF in the nvidia control panel so that was normal for me. I left it at application settings and set it in the game and it runs top notch. I just hope other games I have allow for these settings to be set in the game as well. Thanks again...

Hello, I have a GeForce 7800 GTX and I just re installed Windows for the first time in a while to try out some games that I cant play or play well in Linux. So, I install the OS and all is well. I install the latest nvidia driver from their web site (91.47) and configure it like I used...

On the contrary, I find that Windows is not able to satisfy my needs as a professional (SR. Linux Administrator/Network Engineer), so his comments were a benefit to me as I have been granted the luxury of choice... Any way, Linux has for years supported SMP/Dual Core systems and, in the Linux...

Thanks for the reply!!! Joe

Yeah, just boot from it and there should be an icon on the desktop that will allow you to install the OS. Just pay attention to the wording when it comes time to choose a partition. You want to select the best option that will use the whole disk... Hope this helps... And Good Luck. You wont...

[THREAD HIJACK] I have been using Linux since the mid 90's and in all that time, I have only heard of 5 virus that did ANY kind of damage to a Linux machine; and that was back in 95, 96. How can 5 virus be deemed "Prevalent?" There have...

I think you want the desktop iso's... Look here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download Hope This helps, and good luck. I love Ubuntu; actually, I use Kubuntu as I prefer KDE :)

Ok, I havent used Windows XP in a while and I want to try out some new games, so I was dowloading drivers for my hardware and I noticed that on the nvidia site, they list 2 possible drivers for my nForce 4 motherboard (Epox 9NPA+SLI). On is the nForce4 AMD/Intel X16 and one looks like a...

Hello, I am mostly a Linux user, but I got Windows XP home so I could try out some new games. I was reading some web sites to learn how to improve performance on my machine and one thing that was mentioned was to limit the amount of items that the security log watches so the machine is not...

I did a quick search on Google, and found this article. I don't do this sort of thing, but it might be of some use to you. I noticed that it mentions several software packages, so this might get you off to a good start. Also, Linuxjournal (linuxjournal.com) had an article about this a bit ago...

I love this release. I too tried Ubuntu/Kubuntu a while ago (Breezy?) and I was meet with all kinds of performance and other software issues. I installed the new one (Version 6) and I must say that it whips the pants off my Arch install. Its amazing the amount of broken packages in...

If you go to the Transgaming web site (www. transgaming.com), they have a 15 day trial you can use to see if you like it. I would not recommend using Wine unless you know what you are doing. Cedega takes all the pain out of installing and most games "Just work" after you install them...

VERY nice man... Did they fix the Window decorations with XGL and KDE, or do you still have to run the gnome-session manager or something like that? Joe

I am quite surprised actually to see so many people "Clame" to want to move over to Linux when Vista comes out. Good for you all... I think its time that people start seeing that the technology just now coming out in Vista has been available in Linux for years. As for me, well, you guessed...
