Following up on the Linux thread, I just installed the new "Dapper Drake" final edition of Kubuntu Linux (Ubuntu with KDE). It was without question the...

While we are keeping this open mate... I saw an ad today for a Zalman VGA cooler. A VF900 that uses two heat pipes to bring the heat up where the fan is most...
Thanks. The VF900 gets pretty good reviews. I use a Zalman 3100 on my CPU. Usually shop Newegg, but they didn't carry the 6600 AGP at the time. ... Zalman VGA...
While I wait for resolution of my video card problem, I posted in the 'Photos' to the left a simple schematic of a Fan Startup Mod. Sometimes fans will run at...

Given that AMD has essentially obsolesced the 32-bit line and introduced a dual core line, this computer is now is entry level, not really a games machine...
Thank you mate. When you look at the (particularly idle) power requirements you can see why AMD are going this way Rusty... but in my recent experience, cost...
My answer to your criticism/question James is that most PCs spend the vast proportion of their time on idle. This was the reason that SETI@home requested that...
John Glad you see the point. Unless you're running a SETI type program, your computer is almost always running very near idle power. Agree this is not a...
http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm I got it for my laptop and liked it so much I decided to put it on my desktop. Now my CPU temps are 15 degrees C lower...
I want to upgrade to a dual core system for video editing as well as audio editing. I require low noise levels as this is a studio type of environment (voice...
Hi Richard - You would probably want to look at the latest generation of Intel desktop processors, the Core 2 Duo (aka Conroe). These offer lower power...
