Been using Arch Linux for awhile. It does the job. I actually prefer it, also. It's nowhere near perfect, but it has nothing to hide, and has no restrictions. A learning approach seems to be more reasonable since it helps to unlearn the Microsoft way, which is what makes using any operating system m...

Yeah, wish I could help ya, I'm on the Bazaar Exchange(EXC) server, but I can't recommend the server. It's one of the buggier ones, and its growth is stagnating because of virtual grouping and economic concerns as well as the very frequent problems with jammed zoning by everyone. This seems to be an...

Yeah, I think the whole changing sockets argument isn't exactly accurate anymore, either. There was a very quick turnaround between AMDs socket 939 and AM2. At this point, there doesn't yet seem to be any need for changing sockets betwen AMD or Intel currently. Though, I don't really care if either ...

They will be doing that soon here in NC, which means electrical bill gonna go up. Oh, how nice, considering gas prices now.

If there's something wrong with a patch or update in Linux, the developers patch the problem within hours to days. Microsoft, on the other hand, doesn't, and never will. So, if critical updates don't install, it's up to you to get around the problem yourself. My question is, since I have to call Mic...

Everquest 2. Never played everquest 1, but I don't think I ever can because eq2 graphics are many times better. And the interface is different. More configurable. I know alot of people played it when computer hardware was barely scratching the surface of the graphics. It's unfortunate, because it's ...

Get a good name-brand power supply with high 12v rails and you shouldn't have any problems, generally. I remember when power regulation was in it's infancy for post-1ghz machines. It's interesting how a certain power supply can be "incompatible" with a certain motherboard, yet put the same component...

Not to mention power usage does not seem to improve with 3 cores, either. Most definately rather have a 4-core phenom with that pricing. No sale.

all that i've seen that are capable of that are only 2 memory slots. And they only support single channel for system memory. At the least, you're gonna take that hit. And putting an AGP slot on a PCI-E designed motherboard isn't like making a PCI-E video card AGP-compatible. The former has been repo...

Yes, they made their share of mistakes, notably the old 686 sounthbridge. But I think alot of their bad rap comes from many possible sources out of their countrol. The day of VIA saw the bad capacitor epidemic which affected motherboards, video cards and the like, along with major changes in electri...

The thing is, Intel Core 2 Duo and everything after are extremely faster clock-for-clock than AMD right now. Needing an A64 with much higher Mhz to match the performance of current Intel processors just at stock speed, have a hard time seeing value in any current AMD processors, therefore. Not even ...

Coldspell, stop folding for a couple weeks so I can catch up.
