If you upgrade the Processor you will need to change the motherboard anyway because they are different sockets also you will need at least a 350 power pack with a connection to drive the new motherboard. All this needs a tower case.
As you see you cannot upgrade old computers to any real power. With the price of ready to go set ups coming down it is only worth building to get just what you want in it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dave fales Sent: 19 February 2007 08:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: hi so other wise I need a faster computer for the server would this work at all I have a newer amd board still not super fast but a lot faster but are cases and power supplies specific ie on the amd I no longer have the case the fan got way to noisy can I plug that board into the power supply on the gate way and have it work or do you have to match the case and power supply to the mother board it will fit in fine because like the gateway it has on board sound video and I have looked I can slide the mother board into the case but afraid to because not sure about the power are they standardized i.e. can I take out the slower mother board put in the faster one and plug very thing in. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Betts To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 2:48 AM Subject: RE: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: hi Dave your laptop and 98 just has to work all the time to refresh because you are asking to much of its resources. It needs at least 2000Mhz and 128m RAM to work without using a big hard drive cache to cope with its memory demands. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dave fales Sent: 18 February 2007 02:12 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: hi OK right now I have 2 windows xp machines one is desktop one is lap top I also have an older windows 98 machine that it is used for certain programs when need like genealogy then I have the computer I want to make into a print server right now it is running windows 98 and I have them all hooked together with a wireless router all but the lap top is hard wired in through the LAN ports. for now I am using the windows 98 on the print server computers it is an old pent 1 computer this is why I don't like using windows 98 on that machine the print server it can't seem to fall asleep I have set the bios sleep settings and I have set the windows 98 sleep settings and it keeps waking up so not really saving energy when I have a monitor hooked to it I can see it come on and off all the time even when I am not sending any thing to it I have tried unhooking the mouse and keyboard thinking that might be waking it up but it still does that. My one problem is my ink jet is a deskjet 952 c and it can use parallel or usb since the laser takes the parallel I have to use usb since the ink jet printer is only used for color so not sued a whole lot I want to be able to have the inkjet shut off and when I need it just turn it on and print but on the print server using that printer you can't do it I have turned it off then when I go to print turn it on hit print on the computer sending it and it wont print but if I restart the print server computer it will print want to be able to have it go to sleep and only wake up when I either send something to it to print or when I save something on it's hard drive so yes they are networked but not working the way i want it to. also how hard is it to find a driver for linux for the oaserjet 6L and the hp deskjet 952c ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert C Wittig To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 10:37 PM Subject: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: hi [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
