    building custom AMD 64 systems in a corporate environment

    Thanks for the input everyone. Again, I'm just looking for the system around $1k, not the system + support + linux. I believe the corporate Redhat seat is a few hundred dollars, so I don't want to include that in my calculation. And with support, everyone has some sort of base 30-day to...

    building custom AMD 64 systems in a corporate environment

    It never amazes me, you post asking for help and... Well nevermind.. Okay okay, < $1000 is a little aggressive. Realistically, as close to $1k as possible. I don't need much in the way of HD space. I basically need, processor, mobo, RAM, video card, small HD, and case. Maybe I'm looking...

    building custom AMD 64 systems in a corporate environment

    Sorry for not being more specific. The primary use for these systems will be IC design, so anything from hardware design/simulation to CAD layout on fairly large SOC designs. Case: Definitely a tower case. Video: no specifics, any decent, modern Geforce/Radeon card would work. Linux: We...

    building custom AMD 64 systems in a corporate environment

    My company currently utilizes Sun hardware but is looking to transition to AMD-based systems running Linux. I've had a hell of a time finding a company that can build custom systems to our needs. Specifically, we're looking for a system with the following specs: AMD 64 3500+ or 3700+ 2 GB...

    windows xp password, can't access site!

    Today I tried to access www.xpbargains.com and was prompted for a password! I tried the site on my other machines (all going through the same router so they have the same IP address), and all the others work the same. For some reason, Windows XP has decided to password protect this site, so I...

    eVGA GeForce 6800 GT display problems in XP

    Just thought I'd follow up for anyone else having this problem and looking for answers. It ends up it was my cord of all things! I'm not sure why or how, but apparently the cord has gone bad. By moving to a new monitor cord, it fixed all of my problems. I'm definitely surprised, just goes...

    dual-head video card recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend a decent dual-head video card (i.e. card that supports two independent displays)? This system will be primarily used for graphics editting, web design, and perhaps some animation work, so I don't need anything too outrageous since it's not my gaming system. Any...

    eVGA GeForce 6800 GT display problems in XP

    It actually has me a little concerned, because I have an old Geforce video card that's running in a linux box that ended up going out on me. While it still works, it has horrible bleeding coming through on the display, basically where there's lines horizontally across the screen. While this...

    eVGA GeForce 6800 GT display problems in XP

    I just bought an eVGA Geforce 6800 GT and having some problems. Basically in XP, all of the text and images seem to have a slight shadow behind it. The effect isn't pleasing to the eye, so obviously it's not some feature in XP that accidentally was turned on to make the display look better--or...

    decent dual-head video card for dual LCD setup

    I'm putting together a computer for the wife, and need recommendations on a decent dual-head video card. She doesn't play video games, mainly just does web stuff, including a lot of Photoshop and intensive photo editting. She's also talked about doing some animation work too. I bought her...
