    We were supposed to get a foot of snow here near Chicago but most of it hit north of us. We dont even have an inch though the creek across the street is about to overflow. Not something you see often in December.

  10. Good Motherboard For Core 2 Duo

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted · Edited by Sir_Siddy

    So here I am again looking around to see if its a good time to upgrade my PC. I want to get intel's new core 2 duo chips of course but im having trouble finding a good motheboard. Im not going to be overclocking so i really dont need to worry about that. Alot of the boards on newegg need bios updates or have a very strange PCIe setup (i want to run sli). So whats your guys' take on this? Any specific mobos you guys recoment.

    Also looking for any RAM reccomendations

    I already tried that and got no errors. I also ran the Maxtor Disk utility and found no errors. The frequency of the problem is averaging around 2 times a week now. A hijack this log showed nothing. I really cant think of anything. Its not bothering me as much now because I am using my new laptop but if I can fix this it would be great.

    Well my system started to hang alot a few days ago so I went around trying to figure out what was wrong. Lo and behold in event viewer I had errors. Disk errors and Disk warnings. I immideatly downloaded Maxtor's diagnostic tool and ran a full scan on my harddrive. Its passed. But even now my system continues to randomly hang and also my CPU usuage is always at 100 percent even thouhg there really isnt anything using it it task manager. What is going on.

  23. Installing Themes

    I got my new Dell Laptop and installed linux. (Had to send my old lappy to india to my cousins last month). I didnt run into any problems while installing linux thanks my past experiences ( This is the third time installing linux and im still new at this) Im beginning to understand the file system and command line a little more. So now I want to make my theme look all nice and pretty. I came across this at www.gnome-look.org and I liked it. Now how would I go about installing it?

    The theme is here

    http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=45086

    Also I had a question about Compiz. Um what is it and whats XGL for that matter. I saw a demo of XGL and it had this nice looking cube which I think was a desktop.
