Windows service pack 3 for Windows XP is now available for download at Microsoft windows update page.

Put Mandriva on my new notebook,but it a little buggy,so I am now going to download Kubuntu and try it out. Is there any advanage going with the 64-bit version or should I stay with the 32-bit version.

I have Comcast Cable. I pick #4 too. But I think it is kind of high for what I get. I pay $52.95 a month for 768/8000 plan and most of the time my download speed is half of what it should be, My upload speed is usually good.

What are you running 32-bit or 64-bit version of linux.

Google

On main computer my home page from Comcast Second computer [folding@ home computer ] Testmy,net

Old rig - AMD New rig - Intel [ best bang for the buck ]

I finish rebuilding my computer, took the AMD 4400+ out and put it in my other computer and I am running Folding @ Home 24/7 with it. Just for the hell of it I run two console on the new computer [ Xeon X3350 quad core overclocked to 3504 MHz ]. It run two 150000 step console in 1hr and 10 mins.

You did change the booting priority from the harddrive to the CD player in the BIOS? Edit - Late again. I got to learn to type faster to keep up around here..

It would boot to the CD ,but the program would not work right. I also had trouble running Kubuntu on that computer so I ended up removing it. Probably a hardware compatibility problem.

I also had trouble booting Gparted when I was dual booting linux. I find another program called Cute Partition Manager that worked for me. It free also. http://www.cutepm.com/

Same here. Dual test doing the same thing, stuck in a loop @ 12280

To remove the sound drivers in Vista you have to do this. Click on Control Panal / then click on Programs & Features / Then click on the sound drivers you want to uninstall / A permission box will come up telling you are about to uninstall the drivers, click on continue / reboot after it is done removing the drivers.

I think another downside is cold weather. The oil gels up in cold weather so you need some kind of fuel heater if you live in a cold climate. Tractor trailer use fuel heater when they run in cold climate you might be able to use the same heater they use. You might have to modify it to work with vegetable oil.

Like I said early I just brought Vista 64-bit Ultimate OEM version for $179.99 at Newegg last Friday. It's down to $169.99 this week. The retail version is only $289.99 not $400.00 and that is for Vista Ultimate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116215 [OEM version ] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116473 [ Retail version ]

It be so long since I brought a retail version I can't remember what you get . Most of it is stuff to read about the OS and some instruction on how to install the OS. Fixed ur quote ; )

I am rebuilding my current computer now and I will be using windows vista 64 bit on it. I will let you know in a couple of weeks what I think of it. I did use the Beta version when it was out and had only minor problems with it. Roco Can you get a OEM version over there? I got my copy from Newegg for $179.99 USD [ I do think that it is still a high price for just a OS ], Windows Vista 64-Bit Ultimate for System Builders Single Pack DVD. It only give you the install disk, none of the other useless stuff that you will never use anyway.

Take the side cover off and see if the motherboard name and number is written on the motherboard.

What motherboard do you have? If you still have the manual that came with the motherboard it might tell you what the codes mean.

Does the BIOS come up before it crashes? Also what are the numbers that are being displayed.

Did you try memtest on the ram stick that you took out by it self without the other ram stick in? If it also does not error than you may have a motherboard problem.

If you believe the problem is cause by Vista being corrupted and it is not a hardware problem,then you can try this.THIS WILL WIPE CLEAN THE WHOLE HARDDRIVE SO BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KEEP. You do have the full OS on that DVD right? If not do not do this. You can try to reinstall Vista. Just make sure you reformat the harddrive when you reinstall Vista.

Quote from: ninjageek While I am sure I am dreaming, wonder if the new nehalem will still fit the the older motherboards or will all that have to be switched as well. Ah the times they are a changing. Short answer is No. It will be using a new socket . [ LGA 1160 ] Intel says that it needs more pins for the internal memory controller.

Dual test is not working for me either. Error 671 Sorry, your score of 314197 Kbps is over TestMy.net's max of 100000 Kbps. It is very doubtful your connection is faster than 100000 Kbps...

This is my midnight to 9: 00 am speed test when Comcast is not overloading the node. It was done at 5:08 am. I will have to do another test when I get home after work to see what I can get on my 9: 00 am to midnight test. If I am lucky I will be able to get 6000 Kps on the download test. Upload test usually stay about the same around 1200 Kps to 1500 Kps. This is on a 8000/768 with powerboost plan from Comcast. :.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 17277 Kbps about 17.28 Mbps (tested with 24319 kB) Download Speed is:: 2109 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 1450 Kbps about 1.5 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 177 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Main) Test Time:: 2008/04/04 - 3:07am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-MYS814DAW U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-J42RBSUWY User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13 [!]
