I don't see how it applies to me, except that I think it's funny. But... damn it! Don't drag me into your offtopic-ness!

of course with linux you didn't need to reformat, you just needed to recompile your kernel with the apropriate drivers (or if it was for X, just change the config file). See once you've been using windows for so long recompiling seems like the first thing to do when in fact it's the last with most other operating systems. I'm surprised that it took you so long to figure it out too... I'd have guessed that there would be others who had the same problem and posted their solutions on the net... google has saved me many many hours of frustration when trying to solve problems.

Good job... good job...

Acutally, CompWiz, I was going to ask you what kind of computer do you have? It seems to be really similar to mine, A64, 6600GT...

apomb · **Posted:** Sat Aug 06, 2005 5:15 pm

A64 3000+,GeForce 6600GT, Maxtor Diamondmax 9 (80 GB)+(120 GB) ... DFI LANPARTY Mobo Nforce3 250GB, 1.5 Gig Ram DDR400 ... NEC DVD burner dual layer ... perty much low end, fast tho

When did an Athlon 64 and an nVidia 6600GT become low end? That computer must still cost over $1000

I still wouldn't consider my AthlonXP 2900+ and FX5200 system low end, regardless of how crappy the card is seen as.

I just thought everyone would have been like "well, high end is geforce 7800, middle is now radeon x800..." and athlon 64 3000+ ... 2Ghz, i guess runs like a P4 3Ghz ish there are better tho. i guess im just a perfectionist when it comes to things like that.

oh and the price i payed for all the parts together totalled about 1100, just whats in the case ... no monitor or speakers(already had some of both). sooo, come to think of it ... yah, i should be happy with what i have.

For what it's worth, AMD's performance ratings are in comparison to a 1GHz AMD "Thunderbird" Athlon.

I don't know why people give Intel so much heat. Their new CPUs are actually quite decent. Confused

Because their processors have given people so much heat?
