The board I had to get for that demon proc is a Msi 790xt-g45. I ended up really liking the board. I also have a 790x-g45 with is the same board just supports ddr3 and also a 870-g45.

popswala · May 7, 2012

That 790xt-g45 looks nice. Eventually i'll replace this board. Would like to get ahold of a few am2/+ ddr2 boards as i have a few other chips I could use. Could get some decent crunchin in then.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · May 7, 2012

If the chips will run in a ddr3 supported board I would strongly advise going that route. As ddr2 memory is expensive. Ddr2 is over twice the price of ddr3.

popswala · May 7, 2012

nope. everything I have is ddr2 only I believe. I had a few builds in mind that never happened due to funds. One day hopefully. Luckily ddr2 still pops up on here time to time.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · May 7, 2012

I just traded a mobo a couple weeks ago for 4gigs (2x2) of it. And I know where I can get another 4 gigs (2x2) I can put away for backup.

popswala · May 7, 2012

good find. luckyyy lol

ThE_MaD_ShOt · May 7, 2012

I have 6 x 2gig sticks now. and when I get the other 2 I will have enough to feel safe for awhile. I like to try and put backup stuff away for that just in case moment. And where I only have 1 system running ddr2 I think 4 extra sticks will be enough put away.

popswala · May 7, 2012

I hear that. Thats why I like keepin a lil extra around of things just in case. I do have some ddr2 for sale I might take down, plus I took a set out of my main rig since this is screwing up.

Anyone have an extra 2gb DDR2 SODIMM for a laptop?

EDIT: Norton has me covered :respect:

It seems my main rig (sys specs) is going to crap out on me. I'm going to be looking into a replacement AM2+ board if anyone has one laying around or is going to be upgrading. The board I posted an a earlier thread up top somewhere should be getting built maybe next wkend depending on when all the parts come in (Thanks to hertz9753). So my main rig will be getting completely replaced. I would still like to keep this rig running though as I put alot of time into it and I haven't been using this cpu long at all.

So if anyone can help me out on this will. It'll be greatly appreciated.

I don't think this came through in the email I sent you.

lol. I didn't notice the paperclip for attachment nor did I scroll to bottom. I got it though. Thanks sooo much man. Will definitely let you know the second it gets here.

Would anyone have a cheap GPU laying around like a 8800GT single slot or 4850? Going to be taking the second 2600k to work and I will need a GPU to make it work. Also looking to play HL2/Portal2/CSS/CS/EXEC while on off time. PM me with a shipped price and we can go from there.

I don't have anything myself, but Geeks is my personal favorite for cheap hardware.

Scratch those two cards, I think I may look for a 8800GTS 640MB G80 core

Well, spent all day trying to get Ubuntu to load up on the P4 HDD. Moved it to This Old Comp and tried Wubi install on that drive from XP running on my C: drive.

I'm done trying to get it to work this way. USB, P4 BIOS won't boot from it. Boot CD, MadShot sent me a 64bit that won't work (Thanks for the effort ). On top of all that, The HDD Chicken Patty sent had Win7x64 on it. So, once I got all that formatted and figured out the disk thingy, I tried the windows installer, Wubi, and all I get is some cryptic verbage and a command prompt.

Upshot is this, I don't have $5 to buy an install disk. If anybody has one, kernel or ver. # doesn't matter, can I get a 32 bit copy?

I'm going through all this because my understanding is that Linux is a bit better cruncher and I want to get all I can get out of this goofy old E-machine P4! Also, my XP Pro Install disk is 25 miles away in a storage locker. Even if I could get there, it would be a half day of searching for it!

The good news is that it appears there is only one more hurdle, an install disk, and this thing will be up and running!

P.S. I left a message with my local IT bar buddy, big fan of Ubuntu, and haven't heard back. If I hear anything, I'll let you all know.

Will it install easily? i.e. from XP to a blank drive? Does it run without hiccups, like needs a reboot every two days...I've heard good things about Mint, is Lisa all that and some chips?

I'm a newbie to Linux, can I just plug and crunch or will I have to spend another day configuring it?

Well?

turns out it's another .iso file that doesn't play nice with windows!

Burn it to CD-R. http://imgburn.com/ then boot from disc(you have option to run it Live or install it). I have yet to touch another distro that is so easy to use and utilize. Pretty much plug, install wcg and crunch away. Stable enough in my use that it very rarely needs a reboot.

The CD-R is on the P4. This Old Comp just has a ROM drive. That is why I was asking for a install, 32 bit, disc copy.

As soon as I get this P4 up and running, I'll have a CD-R...kind of a catch-22, no?

:ohwell:

Time to get a drink!

I might have to check the specs on this MoBo...for $9 I could triple my MGHz! Probably won't work on a cheap old E-machine, though!

:ohwell:

OK, now it's time for a stop at the bar. Good thing it's close, literally out the back fence!

Post the specs of the cpu or the model # of the tower.
