Just restating my edit. I need one that is compatible with Panther. My brother and I were looking around on newegg for one but all the ones that display requirements don't say mac compatible. the rest just don't even give requirements. Again i need a reliable one but now I need to know of one that will work with my bro's G4 iMac. Thanks for any help.

you just reinstalled windows correct. i'd say give it another try and if that don't work pitch that ATI card and get nVidia .

do you know anything about jumpers cause if you don't here's what you need to do to make installing slaves a little easier. look on the backside of the harddrive next to where the IDE cable goes. there should be pins labeled Master, Slave, and CS. you place the the little plastic thing (the jumper) on the pins of the desired status. I'm sure you already know this but with you saying the dell screen was hanging it sounded like you had both set as master like i did. my eMachine would just hang at the eMachine logo.

about linux seeing it as an audigy LS, i'm sure Creative just renamed the card and Ubuntu sees it for what it really is.

i always log on to my regualr account. i've completely customized it and that took frickin ages and i ain't goin through that again. man KDE is so much better than windows, too bad you can't use KDE in windows.

whoops just discovered that i can log-on as root. didn't know that. thought you just had to enter root password to be root. it's actually an account. who knew. (i honestly have no clue how i got the crazy idea to type root into the account name) naraku what you said worked. once i logged on as root i had access to the file. thanks for the help ya'll.

for games i'd stick with CRT. just surf newegg and read the reviews then decide. me i bought my 19" Dell M991 From my friend used for 40 bucks. It's 3 years old and I expect it to last about as long as my 8 year old CTX i'm still using on my gateway. 8 years of constant use means one helluva good monitor. i also have an 8 year old 17" Magitronic. i have no clue about it's usage. family friends in georgia had it in closet. asked for it instead of 15" they were gonna give me. the same friend that sold me the Dell monitor also gave me a free 10 year old 17" Radius CRT and a 2-3 year old 17" Scept

ad-aware and Spybot along with Norton Internet Security 2003 (Anti virus, firewall, ad blockers and other crap, it came with the mobo so i used it, ad blocker is nice) work great for me. i like to use both ad-aware and spybot in conjuction cause one catches some things while the other catche other things and norton prevents half this crap from comeing in anyway.

brick wall whether i have entered the root password or not it will not let me open the file it says i don't have proper permissions. do i have to open up the file properties amd say that the owner or all users can modify it or is that even possible.

thank you i'll try that. ya know for such an evil cartoon character your pretty helpful.

i wanna set my FC4 as the primary boot cause windows never works right and i always boot into linux anyway. i set Windows as the primary boot at first but now i want linux priamry. It uses whatever version of GRUB that came with FC4. HTanks for any help. PS this is on my gateway not the sidewinder in my sig. older 800MHz PIII system with 98se

whoa hangon you have a 160 gig harddrive. and you said there is a 158 gig partition. your system almost never registers all of what is advertised. are you sure there is another partition?

mine bout 2 years ago, dug a hole inside a foam flower holder (for those fake flowers for graves) and attached a make shift parachute and threw from about 2 stories up and it didn't break. i used a jumbo egg i think.

a good ole' 98 or Me boot disk can get rid of your partition and the XP install disk can create the new one

actually i think i'll dump this idea. not enough boards for sell. he'll either have to settle for a PC made by me or save his cash.

his protools or mbox or some of his other hardware and software (he has a LOT of stuff) causes the sytem to crash cause it can't handle it. the CPU is the biggest prob (plus it'd be nice to have a system more upgradable than his current one)

keep that crap away from me. tennessee no need that man. i'm all for gettin out of school but i'm on fall break and don't go back for 2 weeks. by the way amp i'm in real red neck country dad's from nashville mom's from howenwald (90% old people which family's date back 150 years in that same area). I DON"T WANT NO FICKIN COLD. i like the temps right now not too hot but plenty warm enough.

I wanna find a Mac Dual G5 mobo and a couple of G5 processors from eBay and buy the rest from newegg. i seem to remember something on TSS 2-3 years ago about building your own macs and it not being legal. my brother needs to upgrade from his woefully underpowered G4 iMac for his audio software (256mb pc2100 ram 800mhz CPU) but he is kinda low on cash and dual G5 Macs are expensive (they overcharge for things like displays ram and others and not just upgrades but the basic system itself). Also is this even doable are their specail PSU's or case configurations. Will regual drives like Lite-On's

turn caps lock off i've done that on many occasions

HAHAHAHAHA didn't expect the very end

snow????!!!!??!?!?!?!??!??!?!!!???!?................................................................ still in the 80's-90's here in the middle of Big Orange Country (Tennessee for you non NCAA inclined folks out there)

sounds like maybe your PSU is set to 230v. you need to set it to 115v in america. people at my school would mess with those switches in one of my classes and the lights would flash and the fans would flip and everything would turn off. flip that switch back to 115v and voila it worked fine.

on the old keyboard on the gateway i had a problem with the left shift not working all the time and W key didn't always pick up and it stuck to. it too was a nasty keyboard and can any of ya'll guess why it was the W key...........................FPS's that's right. knowing what happened to it I wonder how long my Elite will go before screwing up like that.

actaully he does drink a Boost at every meal. Similiar to ensure. I think as long as he drinks these it will extend his life a little.

Here's an add-on Qwerty Face-When you fall asleep on the keyboard. Old I'm sure if I learned it from my dad.
