[Pedro_The_Swift]

[loanrangie]

You keep your fingers off my 3800, you.:p

I'm in the shop again on Thursday, I'll look then, if you still have need. Or maybe I will drop an X2 chip into mine.... Checks pockets, Bugger. Nope no X2 money yet.
Closest I can help will be Friday morn, if there is one in the back room.
The Barton chip is very popular for the overclocking it can tolerate, apparently.
I don't bother with that rubbish, I just buy a faster processor.
I take it you hurt yours?

Shorty.

but thats about it for this system,,
look here for a reality check on your video card

am quite happy with my 6800GT,, not too many AGP cards that are quicker,,

If I want to go faster still its a new box and all new parts,,,
not much change from a grand,,(and thats if i use on-board graphics,, ugh,, would rather drive a yota)

so a little increase will have to do,,,

for now----:angel:

I am using Kubuntu, originally installed Ubuntu on both my laptop and pc as dual boot but the wife didnt like it so removed it from them and have got my wifes old shop pc to use untill i build the newy.

[Mick-Kelly]

Ive got half a dozen Ubuntu cd's floating round here and that is probably what will go on first although i would have preferred the KDE desktop environment over Gnome. Ah well can all ways change down the road.

Ha Ha Ha!

Just picked up a P4 2.8 with a laptop wrapped around it.:eek:

Only needs a screen and a HDD.

Even better, the kids made me go fishing in the skip.

Sorry it's not an AMD.

Cheers

That will make a good carputer, just add a lcd touchscreen and maybe a large compact flash card in a pcmcia adapter to use as a hdd.

O-Kay. Never made the shop today, Landy clutch bung. Still on the to do list.

Checked Tom's site.:( My nVidea 5500 doesn't even get a mention.
Still, it works fine for what I do. nvidea did release a 7000 series card in AGP, about 3 months after they said only PCIe from now on. Pricey. Too pricey for this pensioner at least.

Landy spanner work this weekend, shop on monday, look for fast Barton chip for Pedro, SDRAM for Frank, my brain, got it.
We'll call that plan B. because I usually end up there anyway.

Shorty.
