I wouldn't try it with less than 2GB of RAM in your system - 1GB for the VM and one for the PC.

The trouble Halo has is that it was a port of a port - the developers were originally developing it for PC, then MS bought them and forced them to port it to Xbox first; now they've re-ported it back to PC.

I'd love to know why people think it's worse than previous versions. Certainly Outlook 2003 is a lot nicer, word, powerpoint and excel aren't that different, but then there's only so many changes you can make to those sorts of programs.

And moving swiftly back on topic, my dual-533 (not OCed, and OCed) was fine with XP for several years, but is now much happier on linux.

Some very good advice on soldering processes. Personally for removing things from PCBs I tend to secure the board vertically (with a vice or some such) and then use one hand to heat the "legs" of the capacitor while using the other hand to shift it backwards and forwards until it comes loose. The re...

I'd suggest you use the KX project drivers for SB Live and Audigy cards under windows XP/2k - creative can't write drivers.

The trouble with gentoo is you need to take at least a week to get it all installed, and some of us just don't have the time.

I've played with it in VMWare. It's very much a pre-alpha build, very slow, very sluggish, very prone to die. At the moment it's basically XP with a new explorer and the beginging of WinFS. You definitely won't be running it on a BP6 methinks, certainly at the moment you wouldn't want less than a gi...

Ehr, what? APM always worked fine on my BP6 with windows, linux and anything else I tried to throw at it. What, exactly, is "unsafe" about it?

I think not

Yeah I saw it the other day too, very funky. Cunningly done with a series of concentric circles.

To show that it could be done, mostly. It's a real shame, though apparently it's not why the release was delayed. It essentially opens up Valve to all sorts of lawsuits from the people who liscensed technology to them (such as the physics engine being used), with whom they've no doubt signed NDAs an...

It could be that the BP6 was set up with an 8gb HD before, and so the bios has had the cylinder count etc specified for 8gb.
Beezy: run the automaic disk setup in the bios, and see if that helps.

If you don't use it you shouldn't need to...

On point 4, you can find out about the crash by looking in the event viewer.

And that's why they'll stay on the expensive end of the market and loose out on the home users who don't give a shit about quality processors as long as they're cheap and fast.

If it can play them I'd have guessed it could steam them? Not played about much so can't say really. The other that might work is the VideoLAN streaming server widget, which does MPEG 1 2 and 4; not sure if WM conforms to one of those.

Edit by Derek: Link fixed.

Yeah, and thus why USB is evil for networking etc.

Could be RAM, unless another OS installs cleanly - I've had issues with that in the past.

I would say, without any justification at all (because that's the mood I'm in) that AMD will top the low to mid end consumer processor market in a few years time. Intel will hold the server, laptop and high end workstation market, though the latter will be contested by the opteron.

Yeah the new version of Trillian is fixed in that regard.

Look at it from their perspective - they provide this service for free. The only way they make money is hits generated from downloads of their client, while trillian is sold at profit. In that way is it really wrong of them to want you to use their client for their protocol? And it does make it more...

RH9 has been on my BP6 for about a month and a half now. Unfortunately that's in my room at my folk's house, which is about 100 miles away, so i don't get to use it much.
I'm thinking of buying a 1U case and setting it up as a colo server...

Any hangs during instalation tend to mean dodgy RAM or hard disk, in my experience. You might want to check them.

I can't seem to find any photo's of me where I'm not drunk, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait
