Allright. I haven't messed around with Fedora since core 1 so I am not really sure what the problem is. I would recommend posting in the Fedora forums over here to see if anybody can give you any ideas.

Welcome adsl, and don't worry about your english! You are doing fine... I wouldn't recommend using APM. ACPI is supposed to replace APM and I doubt that it is being actively maintained anymore (APM, that is). It also doesn't sound like APM is able to shut down your BP6 completely either since the fa...

Intel abandoning HyperThreading??

In this article, The Inquirer asks why HT isn't a part of Intels future roadmap. I for one have always regarded HT as a marketing driven technology (similar to the GHz race that intel pushed with the P4 marketing) so I am not surprised to see this happening. I know that many stand by HT as being exc...

Re: AMD vs. INTEL

OK, so what do I think about overclocking, heat generation and general performance? I would say that Intel and AMD are pretty identical there but hear me out before anybody starts taking this personally! Gee you couldn't be refering to me, now could you? LOL No, actually not.

Re: AMD vs. INTEL

My .02c worth... 1) When pushed to the max which creates more heat/heat related problems? I have had issues overclocking both Intel and AMD CPU's and I can't really say that it is safe to say that AMD has *always* been worse overclockers than Intel. My rules and thoughts on the matter are a bit diff...

I think most companies (D-Link, Linksys, Belkin etc) have equipment that is similar in price. I bought myself just an access point that I connect to my switch (it contains no internal switch of its own which I already have) so I think it was a bit cheaper than the "combo" solutions out there. As for...

I have updated the file. I compressed the new file using gzip instead of zip so it is called sensors.conf.gz now. use "gunzip sensors.conf.gz" to uncompress it. Thanks again jlevin.

I suspect the two cpu thermistors have been mixed up in the config file. I'm only using cpu slot one, but when I put the system under load the temperature for cpu2 rises rapidly.

Looks great. Maybe not as "Kool" as Golden Orbs, but in my book its the results that matter most. I agree. However, it is almost impossible to find decent coolers that fit these days so I'll just go with what I can find and hope the results are good. On the CPUs my guess is maybe one of the cpus ma...

"new" BP6 with new coolers

It has been awhile somebody posted something new around here :) I have just brought my latest BP6 into action.

As the "carputer" with wi-fi is in motion, someone might log onto it. So your point is that if his network is not secured and people log onto the "carputer" then he is an idiot? :) So who has a wireless network here? I do! So do I. I got myself a Linksys access point that does a pretty decent job. ...
