-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Gang,
I have been feeling the need to upgrade my machine at home. It has now become imminent due to one of my Christmas presents (Doom 3). I am somewhat out of the loop of late or at least I feel I have kind of lost track of things. I am very happy with my AMD so I will most likely stick with them for processor. I am seriously considering getting an Athlon 64. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Looking at Memory Express it seems that I have a wide choice. Plus it's complicated by the socket type, it appears I have a choice of socket 939 and 754, which is better? I have used ASUS boards for most of my computers and wasn't planning on using anything different this time around. I'm sure the guys at Memory Express would be more than helpful in choosing an appropriate mobo. I would rather get a board without the extras as I have decent sound, video and NIC cards already. I have also been less than happy with the bundled hardware in any case. Also, considering I will most likely be running a 64-bit processor, what should I be looking at for distro? Do the current versions support 64-bit out of the box? It looks like SuSE does, I'm not sure about the others. This is very frustrating, I have built several systems from the ground up and for some reason this time around feels different. - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBQdGfUQCQFPa+bt49AQK+rQQAr5gweCNnEUCk8REC9qiWiySNu4Ck1nl3 bC2MXQuzJv1wRrNmQG7WG5/tlTfLDfs5EThwtFojHApif8fsYFxd4E0i2YOehoCB aJIUXzuN7xUNmZvh0tTwdNRizJnUJRMCC7g01A/S2N6NIc6ufS5bNJe2eijhoWRl /U0+F2wVyTY= =rcP1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
