You can by an RFU at Radio Shack or wallmart. This will give you the RCA inputs for both video and audio to hook up your computer to your TV. RFU's cost approx 20-50bucks depending on brand and the store you decide to purchase from. Jim

Shiva112, Why did you think the Nextgen cpu was a mistak? I remember a friend of mine had a 386 90mhz Nextgen cpu. This sucker ran equilvlant to Pentiums 120. I remember this chip was HUGE! I believe AMD purchased Nexgen and used thier technology when producing the k6 line of cpu's. I thought...

Cosmic_horror, You are kinda mistaken there. Intell did not licsence there technology to Cyrix. When National Semiconducter owned Cyrix they had the rights to produce slot 1 and socket 370 cpu's. National shares patents with Intel on these technologies. When Via purchased cyrix they also...

I love my original sidewinder. I am curious, I have a friend who has the freestyle pro, it came with a USB cable converter. I wonder if there is a convereter you can by at a store that coverts the midi plug to usb plug? If so, if we use the latest sidewinder software, will the sidewinder work on...

Things like this really make me want to leave the computer industry, throw away my powerbook and PC, and go back to working on airplanes and toying around with radio. These companies are turning capatilism into corporate dictatorship and our governement is allowing them to do this. Makes me SICK...

Indrema or Xbox, havn't decided. Good poll, I am very excited to see who wins this one out out of Sony, Sega, Nintendo, Indrema, and Microsoft. Jim

oops, forgot to tell you. You have to have root (administrator) privilages to mount directories with smbmount or mount. I do not reccomend doing things as root, so here is a solution. See if you have sudo installed on your system. To do this type rpm -q sudo. If you do, edit /etc/sudoers and add...

try under 2k smbmount //SERVERNAME/C (or share name) /mnt/MOUNTDIR (or directory of your choice) -user username -password password or smbmount //IP ADDRESS OF SERVER/C (or share name)/mnt/mountdir (or directory of your choice) -I -user username -password password when under win9x smbmount...

Hello friends, A friend of mine is having lockup problems with his system when running Directx games. Here is his set up: Abit KT-7 Riad w/900mhz Thunderbird cpu ATI Rage 128 pro AGP video card w/vivo Western Digital 40gb harddrive Western Digital 15gb harddrive Soundblaster 128 PCI Diamond...

There are several. Winlinux, Penut Linux, Mandrake 7.0 (not sure about newer), and Zipslack. Go to download.com and do a search, they have more. I am not sure how the performance is since I do not run Linux on top of DOS (thats what these linux's do, they don't actually run in windows) Jim

since mandrake is an RPM based distrobution, open up a terminal and type rpm -q kde. This will report what kde version. I believe, since I don't run KDE so this is a guess, in the control panel there is a place that will tell you what version of kde you are running, what kernel you have, and...

Galeon-Feels like it loads faster than Mozilla even though its using the Gecko engine. Also, I like the ability to use the GFM download manager. Pretty cool if you are downloading multiple files from sites. galeon.sourceforge.com Jim

I took the A+ four years ago, I am curious, do they still have mac questions? From my experiance, when the damn cert meant anything, the test was REAL simple. I never studied for it. Took it to get a job. Jim
