    Ubuntu 10.04 & Internet Sharing

    Figured it out. Just had to read thru this guide a few times. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 Some reason while editing the eth2 connection I had to keep it on Automatic(dhcp) instead of shared to other computers and it worked.

    Ubuntu 10.04 & Internet Sharing

    I am trying to share my internet but I can't seem to get it working. I have 2 nics. One to my modem and the other to my router. Is there an easy way to get it setup? It's been a long time since I'v used Linux but i should be able to follow simple directions. Thanks JB

    Windows 8 plans leaked

    Put the crack pipe down. Half of that doesn't even make sense. Have you heard of libraries in windows 7? I'm going to guess your clueless if you can't download drivers 90% of the time correctly. What kind of hard drive are you using that doesn't work in W7 that worked in XP? 64bit? It's...

    Windows 7 & Ubuntu dual boot question

    Right now I'm running Windows 7. I have 5 hard drives in my system. One of them is from my old box and has a 60gb partition containing Windows XP. This drive wasn't in the system when I installed Windows 7 so theres nothing about xp in the boot loader. What I want to do is install Ubuntu on the...

    Window for CM 690 II Advanced?

    I just built my new system inside of this case. I love the case besides it not having a window. I have seen side panels for the original 690. Does anyone know if those would work on the new case? TIA

    ATI Driver Request 9-11 AGP hotfix

    The only upgrades I have put in that cost me anything were the video cards. I have 4.5tb of space but i got the drives for almost nothing, just cost me my time really. I have a system in a wish list on newegg. Its about $500. I'm hoping to get it purchased by the end of March. I will keep this...

    ATI Driver Request 9-11 AGP hotfix

    It played, just not as good as i like. I was used to 100+ fps quake 2 & 3. Either way, I don't think I wasted money. Think of how much I saved by not upgrading since I bought this box 6 years ago. Believe me, I would love a brand new system I just can't swing it right now. Lots of medical...

    ATI Driver Request 9-11 AGP hotfix

    I gave the x1650 to my brother. I would run some benchmarks on the 4670 when I get home from work if you want. I'll try and find some x1650 numbers online and try my best to run similar benchmarks. Bioshock was barely playable before. It plays very nice now. Quake 4 was unplayable for me before...

    ATI Driver Request 9-11 AGP hotfix

    i have 3gb of ram now. why? because the x1650 which replaced my original radeon 9800 when it died was complete trash. i dont game a whole lot but the few i do play, play just fine. i use autocad and this card is more than enough for my work. i know i over paid compared to what i could have got...

    ATI Driver Request 9-11 AGP hotfix

    I have that one also but thanks anyways. I just upgraded my x1650pro to a 4670. Trying to get a little more life out of this old box. I was reading the 9-11's were the best recent drivers The 9-12's work tho. 10-1 on the other hand seems to be a joke.

    ATI Driver Request 9-11 AGP hotfix

    I can't seem to find any old drivers on their site. The actual file name should be 9-11_agp-hotfix_vista_win7_32_dd_ccc.exe Would anyone still have this saved? Thanks JB

    Best cpu / socket path for me (AutoCAD & encoding)

    I have somehow managed to keep using this old p4 northwood system for a long time. I want to upgrade. I'm confused about going to i7, cqd, i5 etc... Is the i7 920 a good choice? I live near a Microcenter so I could put it up for $199. Everything else I would probably get at Newegg. Any input...
