[ILUG-BOM]AMD processor ??
by T Roy 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

hi , i am plannig to buy a new PC, and have problems reagarding the selection of processor. I want a AMD Athalon XP( 1.8Ghz) processor(with 256MB DDRAM) but there have been rumours that the processor gets heated up and could hang the system. My room is not well ventilated, only cooling source is Fan. In such a case would AMD give me a problem? Has anyone worked with XP series processors and how was your experience? The machine would be used solely for Linux( thats why I want to get a cheap processor ). Which MotherBoard is the best buy for AMD Athalon XP 1800 ? What i read form 'Digit' was, MSI KT4 Ultra(with VIA KT400 chipset) motherboard works great with AMD Athalon XP 2600. If its not AMD then the only other choice is Intel P4(1.8Ghz), which is expensive. -Troy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

[ILUG-BOM]SNR increasing
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

Seems like the SNR on the list is increasing all over again. People top-post when replying, and to top that [sic], they write a two liner after quoting an entire previous mail, sometimes even quoting the earlier messages as well! Please trim messages, and write in-line replies ... it helps a lot in terms of readability, and the size of message digests. Also, over the years, I have found it pretty useful when the subject line is relevant to the content of the message.

[ILUG-BOM]RC
by goldwyn rodrigues 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

Hi, Does anyone know what RC (in bashrc/mailrc/... ) means or how it originated? I mean, is it an acronym? If yes, what does it stand for? I know: A script file containing the startup instructions for a program (an application or even the operating system). The file, to be executed automatically when the operating system is started, contains a list of instructions (commands or other scripts) to run. -- Goldwyn :o)

Can you point out to me what prompts you to say 'no MSI or anything else' ? ? ? & what is the amazing advantage that ASUS offers over any other motherboard manufacturer ? Most motherboards which support Athlon [even Pentium ones I think], have a mechanism to shutdown the system if && when the CPU reaches a 'critical' temperature, which I think is configurable in the BIOS. 60 C should possibly not be considered a heating 'problem' at all. Think about it, you could harvest Athlon's heat output to make omlettes or even bake a great cake. Pentium because of its thermal properties can never offer such extra-features [it directs all heat to Intel HQ, where they use your heat output to make their omlettes]. So all in all, I can safely say that AMD Athlon XP is great value for money. ;-)) Run Linux smoothly, cook omlettes, heat your room in the winter just by starting the machine... multi-functionality at its best ! ;-))) Vishal. -- "Because nature isn't classical, damnit..." ~ Richard P.
