Edit: this is fedora core 5 im trying to get to work First off, i am a complete and total *nix noob and this is my second time trying to install a linux distro on my system (1st time was mandrake few months ago but couldnt get it to work and got fed up). Here's the problem: Im running...

I really want to try out linux, i truly do. But everytime i try to install fedora or just about any other distro (mandrake, suSe) it freezes at one point. In the fedora install it goes through the early stuff fine but when the gui gets loaded (off white screen with black pointer)...

I have a regular pc dell crt monitor and the mac i came across (an apple performa) has a port that looks kinda like a crt, and with the same amount of pins, but its wider. Are there adapters for this and what type of port is this really?

I lost my audigy software cd so i can still install drivers, but i can only find a update file for surround mixer. I need that actual installation file. Any ideas?

Im using an audigy now and I uninstall the onboard sound thru device manager, but whenever i restart the computer windows tries to install the onboard sound. How can i disable the actual hardware. I couldnt find a setting in the bios for it.

I destroyed a switch in mine and i need to look at a copy of somebodies to fix it. Just copy/paste it. Thanks!

Its a Built-by-Ati Radeon 9800 pro in perfect condition. It has no box, software or other goodies but I could burn a cd full of drivers and instructions. What would be a good starting bid on ebay for this? (Of course,im using this money to get an x800 pro :p ) Ps: Should I take off teh...

This sucks, the ic7-g has no retention mechanism for the agp slot. Any ideas on how to secure the graphics card? Once i put on the waterblock, the tubing might put to much stress on teh card and pull it out :mad:

I got a dilemma where i can either put in 1 gb of pc3200 but it will be single channel (2 x 256 + 512) OR I can keep 512 mb of dual channel ram in it (I already have the one gig though) I know I should buy a set of 2 x 256, but i dont have money. Which is better.? This is on a...

I have an IC7-G mobo, and never once did I hear the phrase Uguru mentioned in the manual. What is uGuru?

Ok, ive decided (with much influcence of this forum) that a heater core that could house 1 or 2 120 mm fans would be better than any radiator. So, since you guys know so much, what heater core should I get, how should I mount it ,will it be compatible with 1/2" id tubing, and where should I...

Ok, so I think I have my list setup for water cooling. Im going to buy: 1 Black Ice microII 1 Black Ice micro =937 watts or 806 Kcal per hour 1 Dangerden Maze 4 1 Swiftech gpublock 1 bayres (I got the caulk ready) 1 swiftech mcp600 pump 1/2" clearflex or tygon tubing So...

So, Ive been having problems with not being able to connect to connect to the router so I called linksys and basicilly they said "the drivers suck with windows xp, either buy teh usb wireless adapter or switch it to an IRQ higher than 12(a non virtual irq). How can I assign the wireless card...

I can get my processer to run at 3.0 using a 1.1 ratio (fsb=231) OR I can run it at 3.2 using a 5:4 ration (fsb=198) Which is better. Seeing as teh Pentium 4's tastiest snack is memory bandwith, im leaning towards the first value. Which one is better, and what is my pc3200 ram running at...

What is the best water cooling pump that isnt outrageously loud?

http://swiftnets.com/products/mcw6000.asp Oooh, all copper. Purdy colors! Needs moar [H]ard review!

I found out that both my drives have acoustic managment enabled and disabl.ing this would be benificial performance-wise. Thanks!

I just bought 8 radio shack heatsinks for my 9800's ram. I now have a few questions: 1) Can I mix krazy glue with thermal paste to bond the ram and heatsink together instead of thermal epoxy? 2) The bottom of the sinks are anodized so should I sand the anodized coat away? Link to picture...

My coolermaster aurora ccfl just arrived earlier today and it is already on its way back to jab-tech. It was HOT PINK!!! Not light red, a ghey, flamboyant pink! Dont believe the pictures, it is very pink. Trust me, do not get this product! (PS: dont take this as me crapping on...

When ever I shut down my computer the safe way it will make a series of interesting sounds: At shutdown screen: Loud harddrive noise followed by a hiss, almost a woosh of air sound: Ksssshhhhhhhhhhh!:D Then, all the fans in the pc go crazy for 1 second, spinning very fast, then...

What is the limit for ram when it comes to voltage?

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-895&depa=1 Im finnaly going to buy another set of 2 x 256 ram for my pc (i currently have 2 x 256) because I think that 512 just isnt enought ATM. So, new egg has an awsome deal on some OCZ ddr400 ram at 2-2-3-5 which are...

Please explain these mystical terms to me as I am a foolish Intel junkie and an AMD noob.:D

I want to mount the rad on the outside of the case over 2 fans with the barbs pointing outward. Is there mounting holes on both sides of the radiator?

Does anybody sell these?

Im making a water cooling setup and would having more than one dual 120mm rad be overkill?

Ive raised voltages, changed memory SPD and lower the ratio to 3:2 but I still cant get that elusive 3.4ghz using my crappy cooler. I have of course fixed the agp/pci clock. What else can I do? PS: I havent changed the memory voltage, should I? Also my temps are 60c on load and 43c idle.

I havew an overclocked fsb speed of 231mhz or 926mhz quad-pumped. What does this make my ddr speed? (ie: 3200, 3500, 4000?) I dont know the forumula to figure out speed but i think its around 3700. (the rated speed is pc3200).

Is there a case with two fans arranged in a way that you can use the black ice micro II or black ice xtreme II without having to modify the case at all?

Can anybodt reccomend me a large, attractive, moddable, windowed case with at least one 120mm fan that would work well with a danger den, swiftech or polarflo wc kit? This might sound a bit vague, but plenty of you water cool, so your cases must be good enough to accomadate them. Thanks in...

Im looking to get my enter the realm of liquid cooling and I was wondering which kit would be better (ease of use and installation aside). The swiftech uses 1/2 ID tubing, so that would look cooler, and cool cooler. Also, the kit has upgradibility that the exos does not posess. I have room...
