  1. [ubuntu] Re: Instant complete system power-disconnect...

    Wow. Um. You should really shut down your system properly. Helps prevent data loss. And I don't just mean the stuff you didn't save.

    Yes there is a little tolerance, and often the PSU provides a little above, which is good because it may go down a little under heavy load.

  4. [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu fried aspire 1690 lcd screen, due to high resolution I think

    Yeah... coincidence?

    This could be an issue with CRT monitors... particularly old ones, newer CRTs would kinda go into a safe mode and say frequency out of range.

    Never heard of that...

    [ubuntu] Re: read-ahead

    You are right that read-ahead has no effect on writes. However, I wanted to point out that read-ahead does help with re-writes. More of a significant difference than it has on reads actually.

    Do you have the latest BIOS revision for your motherboard? IIRC some of the earlier nforce2 boards had some issues that this might fix

    [other] Re: Overclocking instability, need help

    Yes... and not quite... DDR-1333 speed has a memory bus clock speed of 667MHz, Hence the name *Double* Data Rate... Its not right to say 1333 MHz. DDR-1600 speeds are then 800MHz. With that and...

    Re: Smokin Guns - a new "old western" FPS

    Because for us 64-bit guys, the 32-bit libraries are in the /usr/lib32 directory:

  10. [ubuntu] Re: Installation oddities with harddrives

    It sounds like the boot device order may not be correct in the BIOS settings. If you moved any hardware around or unplugged/replugged a drive it might change on its own.

    [ubuntu] Re: With RAID 5 Do I Need LVM ?

    Unfortunately you will need to recreate the array to change the stripe size. stripe_cache_size is a cache, its not setting the actual stripe size.

    Since building a RAID5 array is timely you can...

    [other] Re: Overclocking instability, need help

    How exactly is it displaying the memory speed or ratio in the setup? If it is a ratio of 1:2.4 then you are running *way* over the DDR2-800 speeds that you think.

    A 1:1 ratio with a 333 true FSB...

    You can have a more progressive transition into the acceleration using options like:

    xset m 11/8 0
    xset m 5/3 0


    To do this the <threshold> needs to be set to 0
