    Installing Radeon8500 drivers for Linux

    It is 7.3 I just need manufacturers drivers rather than RadHat's native ones. Say, do you know of any resources on the web where I could read up on the subject of editing this XFree86 file etc? I'm totally new to Linux. Don't even know how to use makefiles.

If I could, I'd rather buy...

    Radeon 8500. OpenGL struggle!

    It's actually an animation package. "Houdini" from SideFX. It is mentioned in apps docs that Houdini needs a very good OGL support and I didn't expect this card to perform as good as professional graphic accelerator but hey, the way it works right now...! Works, is just not the right word. It...

    Phantom CPU

    Ooops! Before I had a chance to flash new bios I f***ed up my computer even more!!! I desided that since it detects 2000+ CPU as 1250MHz it would make sense to go in to the bios and there change setting which says that current system CPU is 2000+ to something more close to 1250MHz. I did so. I...
