The applications that you describe tend to be more memory-bound than
they are CPU-bound, save for GIMP, where getting a spiffy fast
graphics card pushes processing power out to GFX coprocessor, thus
helping out system performance.
I don't find it remarkable that you're having a hard time deciding
which CPU is better for your purposes, when you consider that:
a) The applications don't generally appear overly CPU-intensive,
b) The applications *are* memory-intensive,
c) Some applications appear to be graphics-intensive,
d) It is in Intel's interests for you to remain confused, and, more
particularly, to buy the most expensive possible CPU due to being
unsure which would be sufficient.
Have you considered simply "maxing out" the amount of memory that your
present machine can cope with, and perhaps upgrading to
high-on-memory video card?
Thus, were you to upgrade your present box to 256MB of RAM, and toss
in a high-RAM Matrox card, you might find that for three hundred-odd
dollars, you'd have all the performance you want at this point.

Has anyone gotten Linux to run well on an Evolution Dual6 computer with
an ALR 12209910 P6 PCI-ISA MT M/B motherboard. I've tried just about
everything I can think of and I still get terrible performance. It
takes the computer somewhere on the order of 5 minutes to boot and
halt. I'm using Redhat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.11. SMP support is compiled
in and the kernel appears to be using both CPUs. I've tried swapping
in/out more memory and different hard drives, but with no success. If
anyone has any ideas what might be happening here I would love to hear
them.

As root, run this command.
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem
In other words make a symlink from /dev/modem (where most things look

Subject: Device Driver for FEP-4206-EP 10/100 NIC from Unicome and some other questions
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 02:22:42 GMT
I have a low cost but decent NIC card (10/100 FEP-4206-EP
from Unicom). It works fine under Win98 and it also has
a driver for Red Hat 5.2 (as far as I can tell). The
driver comes as a GPL liscenced source and an object
(probably compiled with 486 in mind). My Linux is
Mandrake 6.0, compiled for Pentium. My questions are:
1. How do I compile the driver source optimized for
Pentium, so it will work nicely with the rest of my
system?
2. Regardles of how it is compiled, how do I make an RPM
out of it, so I could easyly install and upgrade it
(when needed) like the rest of the system?
3. How do I than configure the network portion of Linux
(I skipped that part in the installation time, since my
NIC was not one of the known NICs)?
4. How do I configure the Linux machine to work with the
rest of my network (peer to peer Win9x machines)
Unrelated to these questions:
5. How do I find what is the DEV associated with any of
my devices?
6. In particular, I need to know the DEV of my IDE CD.
7. How do I mount the Linux CD? What about other CDs?
8. Is there an easy way to work with Iomega ZIP drive or
do I still need to mess with kernel compilation and
configuration?

Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 23:55:31 -0400
Wow...that's wierd. Just bought a PCI EIDE caching controller that I'm
having problems with too!
Here's my bit:
The card itself is marked as a Buslogic BT-910A. It's got 4 30-pin SIMM
sockets (I bumped it from 4 to 16 megs...might as well make it worth it).
BIOS revision is 2.01. It's got 2 IDE pinouts. One is marked "to first IDE
drive," the other is marked "to second IDE drive". From everything I've
been able to gather on the net (Buslogic seems to have gone out of
business...or at least their web site did), this thing is capable of
supporting four drives or (with the use of an ISA legacy paddle connector) 2
drives and a CD-ROM or two.
Now here's the tricky part...the BIOS on the mainboard I have it
installed into recognizes it as a TEKRAM DC-6X0X Caching Controller. It's
very obviously not, as the logic chip, BIOS chips (there are two of them)
and PC board are very clearly labelled Buslogic, and the model number
corresponds to a Buslogic part. Apparently, Buslogic and Tekram did some
cross-marketing in the past.
Back to the point, I've tried to follow the Tekram installation
instructions for the DC-690C as closely as they match (they seem to be
nearly identical parts). I can get past POST and see the BT-910A BIOS
banner. I can get into the BIOS settings. The controller detects and
identifies my drives just fine. My mainboard's BIOS is set to have it's
onboard EIDE (both channels) disabled. I can even go through post, through
HDD detection (from the controller card, not the mainboard BIOS), and boot
from a Win98 startup disk and FDISK the drives (sounds good, doesn't it?)
just fine. But when I reboot the system and boot from floppy, it I get a
messge from the Win98 startup disk that the drives have no valid FAT or
FAT32 partitions.
I half expect this since the Tekram docs state that in order for any OS
other than DOS to be able to see the disks, then you have to identify the
drives in the mainboard CMOS setup. Every time I identify the drives in the
MB CMOS, the system just hangs. If I set them to AUTO, then the MB CMOS
detects them at post as the Tekram DC-6X0X controller, and then proceeds to
hang.
It seems (according to the Tekram documents) that there is some sort of
interrupt problem. OK, the controller card is jumpered for INTA . There is
another jumper for I/O address. Leaving it jumpered appears to make it
function at address 170, while removing it appears to make it function at
address 1F0. There are two other jumpers on the board that appear to be
labelled JDR0 and JDR1 (drive 0 and drive 1???). They are not shorted, and
I have no real definite idea what they do.
Does anyone know where to go from here or what those jumpers do? I'm
truly stumped...

Subject: RH60/isapnp/sndconfig - sound problems, plse help.
Date: 15 Sep 1999 03:57:06 GMT
Hello everyone and thanks in advance!
I'm once again with the RH60 release trying to get sound to work on the
system. Whole new set of problems with this release :-(. I have once
again read the docs until my eyes are bleary and come up with nothing
that helped.
Sound did work *once* briefly (except for MIDI whci was reported as busy
(it shouldn't have been)) when I ran sndconfig (did get to hear Linus
speak). Since then *nothing*
BTW: the card is an SB16pnp (I gave up on the SB64 last release).
Some of the stuff that might be revelant follows:
while running isapnp (standalone or from sndconfig) I get the following:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Don't know what to do with CONFIGURE CTL0028/2266240 (LD 2 on or around
line 382
/etc/isapnp.conf:382 -- Fatal - Error occurred parsing config file ---
no action taken
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Anyway, before I go wasting too much bandwidth with this, I think the
problem has more to do with the isapnp thing or at least it is going to
need to get figured out before much else happens.
I have to run this machine dual boot for now with W98 - which btw all
the sound cards work flawlessly under - but I am wondering about the
"PnP operating system" setting in the bios. Linux isn't but w98 is and
I guess I'll try turning it off and hoping I don't trash w98.
Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated!
Thanks & take care, Vikki.

Just choose the NCR53C8XX drivers (IIRC, the NCR53C7XX,8XX drivers which are
earlier in the configuration haven't been updated in awhile, and even 2 years
ago, I could not get them to work).
By the way, my rev 2 NCR53C810 board works just fine with the 2.2.12 kernel, so
don't worry if you have an earlier revision.
