    XP install/format

    yeh its a usb keyboard - logitech LX700. I'll check the legacy usb in a mo. I changed it from hd to CDrom. As it goes through bios checks, it checks to see if there is a CD - It finds the CD, and asks if i want to boot from it, when i confirm it boots into windows.

    XP install/format

    I've just tried to format my hard drive, like I usually do I stick in the CD and attempt to boot from the CD. It came up saying "press any key to boot from the CD" So I clicked a button on my keyboard. My computer then boots into windows from my hard drive! I havent done anything different...

    I'm confused again: Windows stuff

    yes you will be able to use the copy of windows but it is often advised to format - and make a clean install (sometimes errors can occur due to windows thinking its still using the old mobo) But in most cases it will run fine.

    Small home server

    I would advise more ram if your going to use it for a server - ranging from 1-2gb depending what game and how many people you plan to host.

    is the 64bit OS faster?

    deamon tools is one that springs to mind from memory - but when i installed it (rougly 4 months ago) i had having problems with every other program. Not sure if more developers have created 64bit versions since then though.

    is the 64bit OS faster?

    I ran it but again wasnt able to install many apps due to their 64bit incompatablility. Even so I found that general windows navigation was alot quicker than the 32bit windows and everything seemed to be alot smoother (I compared both to a clean install of both 32 and 64bit)

    Problems accessing internet via suse linux 9.1

    everything seems to be setup fine. Still no internet though, what im more concerned about is that when i click my browser (just after linux has booted) I can usually visit the home page, but anything after this wont work. Even typing in another url to a different site wont work either :(

    Check your DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf and make sure they're right. Run 'ifconfig eth0' and see if you're getting an IP address okay. Check your proxy settings in mozilla/firefox/whatever and make sure they're right. Try 'ping google.com' and see if that works. Proxy settings are set as...
