    So I'm building my own computer from the ground up for the first time - yikes! In my build selection I didn't notice that there is a watercooling option on the Northbridge. Do I need to hook it up to watercooling yet? Can I run it juwt on air? I'll run watercooling when I can afford it.

    Making Yellow Dog Linux faster - how?

    So I installed YDL 5.0.1 for my PS3. Everything works fine, BUT, launching programs is slow. I have a feeling that's due to the 256mbRAM. I am not familiar with Linux so how can I speed Linux up? Are there any processes I can kill or things to uninstall or commands to run?

    Is this possible...

    So I just bought one of those new Mac Pro's. But, I want to add my own hard drives. I'd like to use a WD Raptor for boot and then this 500Gb Seagate . So I guess it all boils down to, can I have drives that have different transfer rates? Or would I be better off putting two 160GB HD in RAID...

    So what can I expect?

    So it looks as if Apple is going to use a Dual Woodcrest setup in their new highest end Powermac. Judging from the costs, it will probably be the 2.66ghz chip as two 3ghz chips would blow past their price target market. So I ask you guys, the guys of all things multiprocessing, what kind of...

    Possible Macbook 'base'

    If Asus builds Apples laptops, this Asus laptop has a few cool features of being Mac worthy, but who knows, it's all speculation. If not related to the Macbook at all, it certainly is in the same market. Check the Asus laptop out here
