#1 don't touch Norton/symantic #2 don't buy ANYTHING with the name Packard in it (Mostly UK, Hewlett Packard/Packard Bell) #3 Lexmark Printers, STAY AWAY
All done.
I agree 100% exept for one thing, #3 Lexmark and Dell Printers, STAY AWAY. Especialy Dell Printers, its a Lexmark Printer with the ink carterage in backwards so you can't buy your ink at wal-mart, your forced to buy from dell.com
You may wan't to get that video card soon....It appears that Rambus, chip designer for GDDR2/GDDR3 DRAM commonly used in graphics cards and DDR/DDR2 DRAM incorperated into most PCs, is beginning to "win" lawsuits against many major manufactures. Aperantly they feel that several manufactures have violated its "intellectual property". Several companys have lawsuits pending such as Hynix Semiconductor, Taiwan's Nanya Technology, Infineon Technologies, Inotera Memories due to their producing of DDR2 DRAM. In addition Infineon, Hynix and Micron have lawsuits pending due to the production of standard DDR DRAM. Also, the worlds largest memory manufacturer, Samsung, has agreed to pay royaltys to Rambus on DDR DRAM production.
If the claims to royaltys uphold in the court system for DDR2 DRAM, Rambus will be entitled to even more money for GDDR2/GDDR3 DRAM production. This will incluide several additional major manufacturers making Rambus entitled to billions of dollars in royaltys and licensing fees. Not sure what brand of memory ATI uses or if any of this will effect some video card and/or ram prices but several facts still remain. Listed companys have invested billions of dollars on production facilities, employees and design teams for such products as well as possible payment for royaltys and licensing to Rambus. Weather or not this translates to higher shelf prices is all speculation at this point but with Samsung agreeing to pay huge dough, the outlook for many of the lawsuites does not look good for the defending companys.

It just occured to me that last month was january 2006, not 2005 guess this article i read is old
$200 but it was like a year ago when pci-e first hit the shelfs. should be $100? $150?? dont see why it would be any more new since you can get the x1200 series sli ready for not much more then I origonaly paid for the x700
Does that board have PCI-E? One of my PCs has an Radion x700 pro. Seems to work nice and is cheep. Only a coupple games I can't crank the settings on. Has 256mb DDR3 on it. Isnt SLI but you wont really find a worthwhile SLI card for that price range.
Hey all. My dads work is in the process of replacing alot of the companys pc's. Many of which still work but are just very old and not comatible with alot of the software required. I am currently in school for computer network systems and information security systems and would benifit greatly from practacing with many diffrent cliant server situations. I could really use the Linux practace also. I have asked my dad to bring home as many of the computers as possible so that I can play with them creating many diffrent network situations and whatnot, as well as getting alot of troubleshooting practace. The problem I have ran into is that he brought home a coupple of really old Pentum based notebooks. One of them still runs Windows 95 just fine but a coupple of them are in desperate need of a fresh OS install. The problem I am having is that I don't really have any use for any more Windows based PCs (which have floopy boot disks), especialy another Windows 95 machine. I would like to install Damn Small Linux, Kinoppix or PC Linux OS on the Pentium 133 notebook with 80meg of ram and a 2 gig hard drive but the PC is not capable of booting from the CD drive first. I can only choose the floppy drive or the hard drive and cannot find a floopy boot disk for any of the Linux OS that I want. Since the installation CDs are designed to run as a LiveCD I cannot get the PC to run them.
Got the ATI video card drivers installed perfictly, Quake 4 is completely installed. When I try to run it the opengl errors as I suspected it would. Any ideas? I cut out all the stuff that initialized properly, this is the section that posts error. After all these years of frustration with Linux based OS I'm finally starting to realize what all the hype is about. I have never felt this confident that when I get something working it will not fail on me or get a wierd random error. I feel a since of control over my PC now that cannot be explained. My PC is not a ticking time bomb waiting to crash at any moment. The method used to modify the kernel is awesome. It is not carelessly slaped together the way Windows does with its kernel not to mention the mess Windows makes of the registry.
Went to Best Buy today and got me a 120gig HD for $60. Glad I found it when I did, was getting tired of the slow hard drive and was ready to format my XP raid set. Just got done re-installing SUSE and am about to start installing Quake again. Thanks for all the help guys, I may be able to get it running tonight. I'll post an update, will try the mount thing, tryed using the mount and eject on the GUI (right click cd drive) with no success. I don't know much about the linux cli but have had decent sucess so far using my notebook as a referance tool while I work on the desktop.
Having alot of trouble with my cd-roms. For some reason it will only show a cd in it that is in the machine when I start it up. If I switch disks it will not let me access the cd without restarting the pc 8(
Awesome!!! Thanks for the help, the last command worked perfictly. Not quite in the game yet, still need to manually copy a few files off the cd's before the game will run.

Ya, I think you have me on the right track now. Still 1 slight problem thoegh. When I type that in the XConsole it says "Bash: ./quake4-linux-1.0.6.x86.run: Permission Denied", even when I'm loged in under the root user.
Reformated again, decided to cut the 64-bit out of the picture to reduce variables until things are working. Installed the 32-bit version of SUSE and have the same results. A downloaded .run file that doesn't do anything when I doubble click it (it trys to load in a text editor and then gets some error). I'm beginning to think that SUSE wont work with the given file. My best bet may be to just wait till I get Cediga working properly (www.transgaming.com).
