    Linux on SATA?

    Thanks - I've gotta ask the teach tomorrow (Mon. only class) if Core 3 is too different for what we do. 'Til then, Core 1 goes on a friend's old crappy Compaq lappy (yuck, Compaq :().

    Linux on SATA?

    I wanna install Fedora, but am not sure if I need it to be on my Windows drive (WD Raptor, which it's not detecting) or I can put it on one of my two PATA drives and it'll be ok.

    Two computers/one monitor?

    Two computers/one monitor?

    Well, I tried one KVM (VGA one) and it made everything look like crap. Is there one that isn't $100 that won't destroy my image quality?

    Two computers/one monitor?

    Xp reactivation--How many of you have used up your five lives?

    XP reactivation has been flaky with my system. I've added hard drives, changed CPUs, added RAM, etc, all without needing to reactivate. But once all I did was update my DVD+/-RW firmware and I had to call in.
