Ideally, the power supply should be at *minimum* 350w and provide 20a on the +12v rail. Check the label to see if this is so.

I have also come across 2 old Dell's and 3 old HP's with a mix of 100 and 133. The 2 Dell's had damage to a slot and would only support 1 stick

Same with me. The machine i mentioned earlier is a dell XPS T600. 3 slots, and one of them is damaged.

A "My thread" is any thread that I've either posted or replied to

Why not just use the threaad subscription feature?

jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

the number one problem is mismatched RAM speed (measured in time such as nanoseconds or speed such as gigahertz). Be it slow or fast, all RAM banks must be the same

Not strictly true. Ive got a mix of PC133 and PC100 RAM (Not DDR) in an old machine and it runs just fine for the last 7+ years. One is 256mb and the other is 128mb.

jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

It means that either

A) your power supply isnt powerful enough - can lead to strange things - i had an 8800 on a 400w PSU which wasnt enough so some textures went white and there was black artifacts?

or

B) its overheating. Artifiacts like the dots you describe are common signs of it and may go away once it cools down (or could be permanent!). Overclockers generally crank up the speed a small bit at a time and the check for artifacts, thats how i know about this.

A or B are both equally likely as store-baught PCs generally have poorly designed airflow and weak power supplies.

jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

If its DDR hasnt it got to be installed in pairs of matching size and speed?

Try running MemTest86 to identify if the RAM is faulty. There is a livecd you can download.

jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

but you will never find better support than using Apache

It runs pretty well on IIS

They are not compiled in the traditional sense, no. The scripts are exectuted on the server whenever required. All you upload to the server is the .php files, not binaries.

Watching movie, . Music playback

Multimedia codec support is a pain in the ass under linux (and in most countries its technically illegal to watch most store-baught DVDs under it)

Redhat is easiest to use I would say.

Did you botther to read the post? he was dissapointed with fedora, which is the home-user, free, more bleeding edge version of red hat. if that lacks the features he needs, then red hat will definately not meet them.

Currently there are only three things which im using are illegal

Please, dont discuss illegal acts here.

And why are all the versions you are using ancient? Fedora 6/7??? 11 is out now! As is ubuntu 9! and suse 11! Use an up-to-date version (I reccomend the most recent ubuntu 9.x) and you will get much better driver support.

What do you mean? Do you mean the JRE? an IDE? Or just an application written in Java?

jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

I coded for my object oriented design with Java final today

Same. I had a final on Java Datastructures and Algorithms, lots on coding your own linked lists and then making stacks and queues from it and then comparing the pros/cons of using lists vs arrays, algorithms for use with circular arrays etc...

wish we got to use the collection class lol, we have to make it all...

There is no comnspiracy, the Dude deserved it, as did everyone else who gets banned. There is no conspiracy when the application of the law is universal.

We told him 3 times about piracy and about 2 spam, and each time he ignored the warnings, so he got a ban.

object orientation and its concepts did not start with c++, Cobol was utilizing such stuff.

What??????

COBOL came out in like the fifties/sixties and it didnt get Object-Oriented features added in until the late 90s/early 2000s..

C++, on the other hand, had Object-Orientation inlike the late 70s/early 1980s.

Get your facts straight.

jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

those concepts were around before c++, have you heard of Cobol, or small talk?

Please explain what you mean. And yet again, i thaught the topic was whether UNIX sucked, not whether C++ sucked...

The question in hand is not whether C++ is bad, but rather whether UNIX (in specific, linux as a development environment for c++ programming) is bad.

You scare me because you seem to have some strange narue-fetish....

jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

Do you also think that unix and programming on unix sucks?(i would also say c++ language but i know that Narue may prove me wrong, so i dont dare to say it)

If it wasnt for UNIX, C probaby wouldnt be as famous as it is today.... learn your history...

Unix is fabulous and programming on Unix is sheer joy. X programming on Unix is what sucks. I think more programmers have lost their sanity to X than MFC.

Agreed. GTK+, QT etc... make easier though,

the book is written by some phd holders from MIT, how cant you take it seriously?

The same MIT that wrote the X Window System?. MIT used UNIX extensively...

can i ask an ignorant question like what is "x programming"?

The X Window System is the server which provides the basis for you to run your window manager and/or desktop on.

But doing simple things like installing programs on *nix is a nightmare.

We arent discussing the merits of UNIX as a desktop OS, but as a development platform. As a development platform, it is very versatile.

>how do you manage to make all your threads so creepy
Serkan, seek help to get over your Narue obsession. or just keep it to yourself.

Agreed. He scares me...

Also, this book is like 20 years old, lots have changed since then... the UNIX wars are over, for one...

Agree with caperjack.

also

Yeah, that's right but Microsoft doesn't offer support for these customized editions

Yeah they do, if you use the MS Deployment tools (sysprep, the unattended install toolkit, etc...) and/or the WIM toolkit, they are fully supported for deploying clients in the enterprise, but only on the pro (retail or VLK) and server versions.

But it doesnt really matter. No one ever gets MS support anyway

jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

Unless its a volume licence edition and your campus agreement allows you to do that

That means it found a bad sector. Go to run in vista and type chkdsk /f /p /r

Reboot and leave it to scan.

It will try and repair the bad sector. Once done try running the random seeek test again.
