    Linux Gaming

    if you decide to use PClinuxOS, installing wine is easily done with the package manager, and then all you have to do is DL the steaminstall app and double click it. go to the PClOS forums to learn how to install your drivers and eneable beryl/xgl if you want it.

    Linux Gaming

    I am able to run Source fine through Wine, which is free(cedega is not). I get a little less FPS and it noyl runs in dx8 but its not bad. I don;t play many games any more though. i use pclinuxOS, i recomend it. If you install Ubuntu to begin with you will be upset if you know very little...

    Using Gentoo Linux

    yeah i am going to use unbuntu now. Looks like its a lot easier to use, or start up anyway. i tried to use debian before and it had options to install it. I just expected that a popular version like gentoo would have one to.

    Using Gentoo Linux

    OK, so i've got some time on my hands and i'm looking to put another OS on my system. I made a second partition and downloaded Gentoo. I burned it to a disc and upon booting it i see "liveCD mode". It then brings me to a command prompt(with which i have no experience). I looked at the...

    Should I buy another 256mb GTX for SLi or buy a 1900xt ??

    i noticed your machine only has a 3700+(which is still very nice). why not switch it out for an FX or X2 instead of upgrading GPUs?, Might work out better in the long run.

    Computer i found in the Trash needs an OS

    Its a compaq deskpro (has a windows 98 sticker on the outside), i would guess its from early '98 era because 466 is a pretty weak chip. I dunno though... The CD drive "isnt working" because i cant seem to find a power connector for it. Its got an IDE but no power(couldnt even find an extra...
