    Shutdown in FreeBSD

    X is not installed. When the user in the "operator" group executes "shutdown -h now" the message displayed is: "shutdown: Permission denied"

    Shutdown in FreeBSD

    I read in a FreeBSD book that users in the "operator" group are allowed to shutdown the system, but it is not what is happening. What is going on? Thanks in advance, Ben.

    Onboard VGA comparison

    Well, I´m playing Unreal, NFS (old versions) and Re-Volt in 800X600X16, full detail!!! Thanks for the analisys everybody. I´ve found one comparison in Tom´s HW, although they does not consider resolutions under 1024X768X32. That would make a great difference...

    Onboard VGA comparison

    Well, if it´s true that nobody had the idea of comparing the benchmarks for the vga chips that comes with ASUS, PCCHIPS, etc., stays the suggestion... I find it important ´cause for most games my ASROCK K7S41GX is very nice. Indeed, the overall system performance is lower when we are using a...

    Isn´t he talking about a overclocked Duron that has reached 2.3 GHz and he wants to compare it with other processors? Maybe the answer is just a benchmark utility like Sandra...

    Good mobo for OC the Athlon XP?

    What mobos are good for overclocking an Athlon XP, say, 2200+? Will it make a difference if it is a XP 2600+ in terms of the "final" overclocked speed?

    XP 1700+ and locking the clock

    That´s what I´m gonna do. Try the XP with my current mobo and if it does not work try another one. I´ll just wait a little more till I learn more about how to recognize a good Athlon XP for OC without having to connect those bridges... Thanks everybody!

    XP 1700+ and locking the clock

    The mobo is a Asus A7Pro that I recently updated de BIOS to the latest version. In ASUS site they say It does not support the Athlon XP (due to its 266 FSB only?) neither the 1.4-1.8 Durons. The A7Pro manual and the BIOS setup shows a 133Mhz x2 FSB setting, ie, 266 FSB. Am I ready for the XP...

    XP 1700+ and locking the clock

    I read today that from the Athlon XP 1900+ and above AMD locked the clock of these beasts. As I am planning to buy a XP 1700+ to put in an old 200Mhz FSB mobo, that I need to adjust the multiplier, I would like to know if the 1700+ that are still being munufatured are clock locked or are the...
