Linux has given my laptop new meaning

05 April 2009 - 12:22 AM

So I was about to trash my aging Toshiba laptop that just wasn't capable or running, well anything under Windows XP. But then I remembered linux. Installed the latest version of Ubuntu and now everything seems way more responsive under this brick of a laptop. I liked that it even had Firefox pre installed. If only linux was compatible with most of the stuff I use then I would make it the main OS of my other system. Although windows 7 is proving to be fairly nice. An upgrade from Vista at least. 

Sound card opinion

29 November 2008 - 07:59 PM

Just got a new 5.1 system (Logitech X-540) for the PC. Right now I am using realtek HD onboard audio with codec ALC888. I wanted to upgrade to a discreet sound card so I can hopefully have it sounding its best. I was looking at this card here

Anyone know if this will be a pretty big improvement from my onboard?

Vista memory management

03 November 2008 - 10:56 PM

Little problem. I currently have 4GB of ram (1GB X 4) in my system and have been getting random bsods in vista 32 bit with something about memory management. I ran the vista diagnostics tool and it apparently founds errors. I ran memtest86 and it found no errors. Anyone have any ideas?

Linux builds

02 November 2008 - 08:35 PM

Well I got a new hard drive on the way from newegg, so I am going to wipe the old one and install vista on the new drive and linux on the old drive. The only problem is theres so many linux builds out there. Anyone have any recommendations?

Printing Wirelessly

26 October 2008 - 02:12 PM

Not sure if this is possible or not, but I have a D-link DIR-655 router and a HP5610 printer. And I wanted to know if it was possible to hook the printer up to the USB port on the router and be able to set the printer up on multiple computers to print wirelessly
