I was having the same problem you were with an ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 X2. I tried everything I could find on the internet, including several walkthroughs and programs like Envy. Nothing...
How much RAM vs. Swap do you have?
Ok, here is my new plan:
Install Windows 7 RC 1 x64 beta. Format 150GB drive NTFS and install windows. After installation, install Ubuntu 9.04 by carving out 50GB from the end of the drive for...
8 gigs is a lot to lose out on when your drive is only 150. I'll probably forego using Swap and just manually startup and shut down my machine.
If Karmic is pretty stable, then I wouldn't mind...
I am going to do a fresh install on my machine when I get a new video card this week. I am planning on using Ubuntu 9.04 64bit as my main operating system. This computer was built to play games, so...
Wouldn't it make more sense to compare boxes with both set at the same detail level? 20 to 35 at Ultra seems like it might jump up to 30 to 60 at high.
I'm switching to nvidia from ATI. Does nvidia hvea pretty good support through getting their driver from "add/remove programs" or would a program like EnvyNG be better for automatic configuration?
The most recent release of the ATI Catylst drivers has release notes. If you look through them - you will see that they explicitly state that the HD 3870 X2 is not supported.
I have not gotten...
My BroodWar CD actually broke while it was in my CD drive. I am assuming it was from over-use.
I'm digging up this thread rather than starting a new one.
I have been playing several games using Snex9x. Most notably, I am a good way into Earthbound. I did all this on my Vista computer and...
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and I wanted to explore KDE as an alternative to GNOME. I installed KDE, but my display resolution is not correct when using KDE. GNOME runs correctly at 1280x1024, however...
Thank you! That worked perfectly!
I an running 8.04 on a Lenovo X60 Tablet and I would like to install Skype. Apt did not seem to have "skype" in it's repositories, so I downloaded the deb package from Skype.com.
I ran this...
I would switch to Ubuntu completely if it had better support for games and if software needed for work/productivity worked well on Linux.
I would love to completely ditch Windows. I've even...
22. I use Ubuntu because I've always been fascinated with Linux and I want to support the spread of open source software. I mostly do e-mail, music, word processing, and a little side programming...
I'm a huge fan of real time strategy games (StarCraft and WarCraft games, also the new Warhammer 40k games). I would love to see more of those ported so they could run on Linux natively.
Also,...
Unfortunately, I am not comfortable messing with boot parameters. I will keep reading about them with the links you provided, but I would like to approach from a hardware standpoint first if...
Pumalite:
I downloaded the alternate install CD. It went to the first menu, I selected English, and the first thing I did was test the CD for defects. It loaded the Linux kernel, printed out a...
louieb,
Thanks for your input. This is a computer for my aunt. Most of the time it will be running XP, but I wan Ubuntu on there for when I use it (maybe someday I can ween her onto Ubuntu...
In response to omglol741:
One other concern I have about making a partition for multiple operating systems is the potential for Windows malware to infect/destroy the data on that partition. I'm...
Thank you for all the replies.
Mage recommended having 2NTFS partitions - one for Windows and the other for documents. Then also an ext3 partition for /home. I guess what I was originally asking...
Hi all,
I've built a machine with a 320GB hard drive and I would like to configure it to dual boot with Windows XP. I am thinking about how to partition the machine so I can access media from...
My two cents worth:
I have used that Apevia fan before (the blue 120mm pictured with the case) and it is very loud. I ended up switching it out for a Scythe - much better.
I have a Sony DRU...
I use a Logitech G11 keyboard with USB connection. When I turn on my computer I can use the keys to get around the BIOS and post screen. However, Neither Linux nor Windows is able to recognize the...
