    Apple Ibook decent enough?

    I am looking to pick up a used 1.3Ghz Ibook for music scoring/sequencing of external synths and other random school work/web browsing. Will most likely be using Finale and Logic, though it is doubtful that I will be using soft synths a lot. My biggest question is if I will get a lot of latency...

    Linux sound equalizer?

    I pretty much got everything to work on my system with gentoo. Nforce 2 sound, ati drivers etc, and I am fairly happy with it. But one thing I miss from windows is the Nforce equalizer. Does linux have any equalizer programs that work with ALSA?

    Blizz getting prepared for Starcraft 2?

    All I honestly want to see, is starcraft, with the warcraft III editor. I love how you can just make new units and not have to change existing ones like you have to do in starcraft. It would make custom maps a lot more in depth, especially the rp/rpg maps.

    PHP/Mysql Question

    My question is, how would I make a script that lets me edit data that is all ready in the tables. The script below is basically a guest book script that I edited into a script where it lets me add cards (I am going to try to start an online card selling business) to the db. <? $assume =...

    Computer hard locking

    I recently built a computer for my mother, which after rma'ing a few parts worked well. It ran for about 2 weeks without crashing, and now all of the sudden, the Service Control Manager fails, specifically the mtRate services fails to start. It says the system cannot find the specified file...

    9500 Pro to BFG 5700 OC

    Thanks for the responses. I'll go with the AGP model of the 6600GT. ~$30 more for it seems to be worth it.

    9500 Pro to BFG 5700 OC

    I have been considering buying a 5700 OC recently, mainly for the fact that Nvidia's linux support is a lot better than ATI's. I plan on having a dual boot to windows so I can play the Battlefield series games (among other things of course). Although I really want to be able to set up linux...

    Windows won't let me change refresh rate

    I usually have my monitor (Viewsonic PS790) set at 1280x1024@85Hz. It has been working at that refresh rate ever since I have started using this monitor. Now that I have another person using this computer, almost half of the time the refresh rate goes to 60hz. Most of the time I can set it...

    Random lock ups

    And update: I have switched out my video and ram now, and tried knoppix. I still get lock ups, all though when I tried my 9500 pro from a different system, it was about 3 and a half hours before I got a lock up. I am out of ideas. I owned myself and ordered a motherboard that I can only get a...

    Biostar M7NCD

    I recently bought a Biostar M7NCD for a family computer(read as budget computer). I've had nothing but problems since I have installed the parts. I have swapped out ram, HDD, and the video card, and I still get hard locks after an hour and a half, or about. Even in knoppix I get hard locks...

    Random lock ups

    Well I removed the chipset and ati drivers and reinstalled them. I let it run all night, and it didn't lock up, but I got another ati2mtag error, and I have the newest catalyst installed from ati's site. Could the video card be bad? Edit: I reinstalled windows, and thought I fixed the...

    Random lock ups

    Ran the WD Diagnostics, it passed the extended test. In the event manager I have about 9 errors. Service Control Manager seems to be messing up the most. I have an ati2mtag error as well. I think I might unistall my chipset/lan/usb/agp/video card drivers and get the most current. Is there...

    Random lock ups

    Well I started to run Prime95 just for some extra testing, and I get about an hour and a half into it, and this thing pops up and says "Hiding your inactive notification icons.." and immediately it locks up. That might have nothing to do with it though. I am using a HDD from 1998, a 5400(If...

    Random lock ups

    I installed windows xp pro last night. Installation went fine, installation of the drivers went fine, though I got a warning from the ac97 realtek sound drivers, saying that this isn't a window logo certified driver. About every two hours, no matter what I am doing, be it playing a game or...
