I started up sysprep 2.0 and I don't see a PnP option, unless your talking about the detect non plug and play option. Also when I reseal it says that I have chosen to regenerate security ID's and this is only needed if I plan to make an image back, so is that right or should I check that box?

Isn't the 1901 bigger? I think I would notice that differance? Why would I want to get a 1901 anyways, whne I can either getting another matching 1800FP or sell mine and get 2 new 1704FP's?

I am currently and have been using a dell 1800FP for over a year now, its a great monitor. I was recently thinking of putting together a dual monitor setup. Basically what i was thinking was I could either find another 1800FP from ebay or somewhere for probablly around 325.00 or so. Or I could...

I have a biostar 200N on the way. Its an nVidia based SFF for those that don't know. I plan to use the onboard video and will probablly use it as my "playing with differant OS's box" I want to get some linux distros on there maybe some BSD's, who knows.

SO according to the unsupported scenarios link, going from AMD to Intel won't work? Specifically a sinlge AMD XP to dual Intel XP's

Actually the more I read, maybe VMware is the way to go for me.

Heres another question mor eon the topic of virtual PC. I am currently building a new rig. Dual 1.6LV Xeons which i hope to clock to at least 2.8 or more. I am trying to decide what memory to use. I am wondering if I should skimp on the speed and just get more quantity. For example 2Gig of...

Thanks for the info on th elive CD, I didn't know about it HHUnt, thats the way I did it. Only I chose the no boot loader option, since it is the only OS on that drive, maybe that was wrong, maybe it needs a boot loader anyway. I am not worried baout being able to boot into XP as well, I...

Just did a real install, wanted to be absolutely sure I didn't kill my XP install, so i installed on a completely seperate drive with no bootloader, and just told the BIOS to boot off the drive with freeBSD on it. It booted to a grub prompt, whats up with that?

Yeah that handbook is huge, I have been browsing it a bit lately. I almost thought I got it installed under virtual PC, but it would only reboot to the ISO image, it owuldn't boot off the virtual disk. May have to build up the courage to do a real dual boot install

Just wondering if anybody thinks I am getting in over my head with FreeBSD, since I have very limited linux experience?

As did I, without that I may not be able to get it to work. But if it is really beneficial, then I will likely go ahead an actually install it on my computer.

Okay, thats what i downloaded, I will be using it wil virtual PC 2004. I see here that FreeBSD works with VPC2004, but it has some extra info in a link, but I can't access the link, the site seems to be down or something. Any idea what that info may be?

FreeBSD looks like it mightbe interesting, which release should I get?

I did try the Gentoo install a time or 2, but was having many problems with grub not working right and never figured it out even with help, so I gave up on it. But who knows maybe i could go back to it.

I have very limited Linux experience. I have used both Ubuntu and Suse Linux Pro 9.1, but only very little. I don't really want something that is so super easy to use, that its not teaching me anything about Linux. But I don't want it to be so hard that I can't even figure out how to browse the net.

I want to start learning more about Linux and networking, and since as of right now I only have one PC, I was thinking virtual PC may be a great way to make this happen. I already have the trial version installed. Any distro you think would be a good place to start?

Have you heard anything about that rosewill power supply? From my understanding rosewill is a newegg company and thier products are generally rebadged from some other manufacturer. Just wondering if they are up to par. From what I have read, I think the rosewill power supplies may be rebaged...

Are the procs, motherboard, and heatsinks sold?

Oh yeah sorry about that killernoodle. I forgot to answer the stuff ro you that I could. Like I said, I don't know a ton about this stuff but I do know some. Almost no games take advantage of dual processors. Quake 3 and maybe doom3 do. So techinically there is no benefit in most games by having...

My Xeons are not from PCsurplus they are from the ebay guy. They apparently are a newer stepping and the first pair that some guy got, he got them to 3.1 I think, he has another pair on the way to see if they do the same. I would be plenty happy with 2.5+ myself. I do game, but not too much and...

I'm not of much help, but also got a pair of the 1.6LV Xeons that I will porbablly pair up with the PC-DL. I have never done water cooling before and wonder if its worth it in this setup. Since it seems the chips as you said can hit 3.0 on air, I am not sure for me if its worth the extra cost of...

Well I just picked up a couple of 1.6LV Xeons SL6XK chips off ebay for 110.00 shipped. I have heard of people hitting over 3GHz with these chips. I would be happy with 2.5 and above really. Thinking of pairing these with the Asus PC-DL, maybe the NCCH-DL.

I know a guy selling a dual 2.0 Xeon rig(and while I mention it, how the heck do you pronounce Xeon?)he has them both clocked at 3.33Ghz. I also still see some of the 1.6Xeons, from the hot deal a while back, floating around for like 120.00 per pair. I had originally been considering XP...

Yeah I really would like to do that as well, it would just be wasier to convince the girlfriend to let me buy a laptop then another TV, since we already have 2. BUt I do need to keep that in mind. If I wa sin my own house rather then an apartment, I would definately like to get a front...

Yeah I do do more then multitasking. I also rip, rencode, and burn stuff to DVD's. And I know I will see the benefits there and in some othe rplaces like photo editing which I may start doing when I get my digital camera as well as if I ever start editing my digital homemovies.. And while to...

Is an SMP rig really all that beneficial to a moderate multitasker for use as a daily rig? I know enough about SMP that I know that multithreaded apps will be the only things that actually utilize both CPU's. But I also know having duals allow you to do a number of things at once while bogging...
