...So which is it? If it's not slow, why do you want to make it faster? You asked for advice and I'm giving it to you. Spending money to upgrade a K6-III system with SDRAM and an SiS chipset is an exercise in futility. Do so if you want, but I will not recommend it. It just doesn't make any...

No offense intended, but your friend is wrong. A K6-III is 11 years old, has a narrow bus, and is roughly equivalent in performance to a first generation Pentium 3. There's a reason AMD quickly retired the K6 family in favor of the Athlon, which is far superior to the K6 family and yet is...

Sure, just post a new thread in the appropriate area for whatever specific questions you might have. Myself and perhaps others will do our best to answer them for you.

That CPU architecture is around 5 generations old. To be honest, spending money refurbishing that would be a complete waste of time and money. If I was you, I'd build a new PC from scratch and use your old machine for something lighter. For instance, put a lightweight Linux distro on it for free...

I thought it was more like "Pure FOX propaganda on how security should outweigh freedom or morality", but perhaps I'm reading too much into it? And perhaps I should have posted this in the war zone instead of hijacking your thread, my apologies. :O

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available Immediately on the heels of 2.6.32.4, we have 2.6.32.5. This is a bugfix build with many scheduler-related fixes and more. As usual, it's recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF kernel. Get HWF kernels here 2.6.32.5 Changelog

I can't believe you guys can watch that stuff... :x:

I guess some explanation is in order. Your hardware was packaged by a single OEM, usually a Tier 1 brand like Dell or HP. They might have customized some of the parts included, so if possible, get the drivers from them. In other words, since you have a Compaq branded laptop, check Compaq(now...

Whether XP will work on your hardware depends on whether or not the manufacturers have produced windows XP drivers for it. As for dual booting, there are many free and open source applications out there that can act as your boot manager. I don't run windows so can't give you personal anecdotes...

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available Once again, a new kernel has been posted. 2.6.31.12 and 2.6.32.4 are built and syncing to kernel.hardwareforums.com. These are both bugfix builds containing many fixes, and as such, it is recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF kernel. If this is your first...

CFQ is best for responsive desktop usage, which is the primary focus of these kernels. Also, whether or not Anticipatory would be better for game server largely depends on the game.

Windows NT 6.x (e.g. Vista, Win7)'s drivers are still quite immature in many ways. This is especially true of 64-bit environments. 1000 megabit NICs will not make a difference for internet access unless you have a connections that bursts at higher than 100 megabit, which is pretty rare. It does...

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available 2.6.31.11 and 2.6.32.3 are built and syncing to kernel.hardwareforums.com. These are both bugfix builds containing many fixes, and as such, it is recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF kernel. If this is your first HWF kernel, I would recommend trying...

Why am I selling an awesome card like this? Basically, I was having GPU crashes and thought for sure it was bad, so I replaced it with a core 216 GTX 260. In reality, the issue turned out to be a feature of my motherboard, which I disabled in the Linux kernel and therefore worked around the...

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available 2.6.31.9 and 2.6.32.2 are built and syncing to kernel.hardwareforums.com. These are both bugfix builds containing many fixes, and as such, it is recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF kernel. If this is your first HWF kernel, I would recommend trying...

An ATOM is fairly slow in terms of RAM CPU power. I have an ATOM 330 box in my bedroom, the results of the build I did here. It's too slow to even decode some 480p videos in CPU without dropping frames; I can only imagine how bad it would be for things like video editing. If not for NVidia's...

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available 2.6.31.8 and 2.6.32.1 are built and synced to kernel.hardwareforums.com. These are both bugfix builds (mainly against bugs in ext4) and as such, it is recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF kernel. If this is your first HWF kernel, I would recommend trying...

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available 2.6.31.7 is built and syncing to kernel.hardwareforums.com. This is a bugfix build, and as such, it is recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF 2.6.31.x kernel. If this is your first HWF kernel, I would recommend trying 2.6.32 instead, which has some hefty...
