There is an Athlon/Linux forum at Amdmb.com I go to fairly often.

If you are referring to the fonts in KDE (the windows environment that SuSE installs by default), click the Start Application button in the lower left corner of the screen (shaped like a cogwheel), then go to Preferences/Fonts and set whatever sizes you want. You can also get to font sizes...

Newbie question: I am thinking about the new Powerleap upgrade to use a 1.2 GHz Tualatin on my BH6 board. The main reason this appeals to me is that I could keep my ISA modem, ram, power supply, etc. Does anyone know for sure if there are any problems with this upgrade under Linux? I assume...

Can I use a new newer AGP 2 video card with my old BH6 1.1 board? I assumed the AGP port was AGP 1.0 , until I came across this old review, in which Anand stated that all Intel AGP boards were capable of 2x AGP transfers. Is that true? I'm just wondering whether there's any point in hanging...

I have had very good luck with SuSE 7.3, which hit the stores here about a week ago. As a complete noob when it comes to Linux, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the SuSE installation was. They have a very slick installer program called YAST that takes care of everything, including online...

I finally broke down and took the plunge, just to see what Linux is all about. Based on advice from an experienced user, I spent the $40 for a name-brand distribution, in this case SuSE 7.3, and it went in without a hitch. I highly recommend SuSE to anyone who is curious about Linux. It may...

I read a review of a RAID motherboard somewhere and the author stated it was generally faster to use a single, new 7200 rpm drive, rather than two slower (older) drives in a RAID setup. I don't recall for sure if there were benchmarks to demonstrate this, but I think so. Wish I could remember...

Has anyone tried the Kingston DDR ram that Newegg sells? I was wondering how it overclocks compared to Crucial.

I just got this from MWave: We are currently selling the AK31-REV1. Revision 2 has not been released in the U.S. just yet. We have an ETA from the middle to the end of July for this board. Please keep posted to our site for further availablity. Thanks for the email, Multiwave...

I have been using a Viewsonic A70 for a couple of years now, and it's been a great monitor for the price. Text is certainly not blurry compared to other cheap 17" monitors. I didn't know it was still in production. For the same price I paid a couple of years ago, you can one of the newer...

According to Tom's Hardware, this is only a four layer board. This suggests the board will be cheaper to make compared to some other DDR solutions. I hope the cost savings will be passed on to the consumer because I want one.
