<0> the xorg file when i looked at it though appeared unchanged, dont know
<0> ill try that
<1> that or it removed nvidia kernel module
<0> wouldnt reinstalling the drivers fix that though?
<1> probably
<1> http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html#3
<0> hmm
<0> if i burn this driver to a cd as iso will i be able to access it in linux
<2> yes
<0> ok
<0> hmm
<0> what drivers besides video may i want to burn to this cd
<0> there isnt any sound card drivers from creative for linux
<1> you can use alsa
<1> except the x-fi series isn't supported under linux, yet
<1> "Most SoundBlaster Live, Audigy, Audigy 2, and Audigy 4 cards are supported by the latest ALSA drivers."
<0> alright i just downloaded that too
<1> why are you getting drivers before the install?
<1> it's all so much easier to get packages with most distributions awesome package management systems
<0> hmm
<0> how do you boot from a dvd
<0> nm
<1> the eactly same as you boot from a cd
<2> just like a CD
<0> i had two different kinds of discs and one didnt work and on edid
<3> hey
<3> don't radiators need fans?
<2> yes
<1> most..not all
<0> lol
<0> bbiab
<2> generally they do unless they have t hat ultra spiffy pipe technology
<4> hello, im looking for recommendations for a tv capture card. Currently I use windows, but i also do use linux (so i might want to use mythTV). I was wondering what is better card ATI TV Wonder PCI, ATI TV Wonder USB or
<4>
<4> Hauppauge! WinTV-GO-Plus PCI TV Tuner Card
<1> hauppauge, definitely
<4> SvX: yes radiators need fans..... unless you wish to have your car blow a headgasket (best case) or even Sieze (worst case)
<4> RogerRab: you say Hauppauge, can you tell me what makes it better ?
<1> driver support
<4> ok, so the drivers are better for mythTv to ?
<1> depends on the chipset that particular hauppauge uses.. but generally yes
<4> last I had heard (and this was a wile ago) but I heard they had a lot of problems
<4> the link for the one im looking at is http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7215603&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01151&id=1114638478841
<2> mluschas: btw we were talking about computer radiators
<4> ah ok. lol.
<4> or would http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7043683&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01151&id=1099396842572 be better its an ATI TV WONDER ELITE (which is capture plus FM Radio)
<0> it wont boot the cd
<0> i tried both of them and it didnt boot
<3> I mean radiator for watercooling :-P !!!
<3> annnyyyway
<3> why doesn't everyone switch to water coooling?
<4> ah thats one thing i wish i had
<3> why doesn't dell and all the others sell their computers with water cooling?
<4> the one thing i dont like about that though, is id have to by new pumps every year
<5> anyone have the razr v3 ??
<3> a water block for the cpu is about the same price as a heat sink and fan for it
<2> why would you have to buy a new pumps every year?
<2> -a*
<4> cuz i leave mine on 24/7
<3> so?
<3> you don't have to buy new pumps every year
<4> they only last about 10,000 hrs
<4> if that
<4> or atleast thats what they had in the A+ book when i took the cl***
<3> is it true that big heatsinks and fans can place big weight stress on the cpu and motherboard and freak things up?
<2> yes
<2> IF you have a bigger HSF, you want to install stronger retention clips or even do what I did and attach it to the case
<3> so what will happen?
<3> it will fall through the motherboard and break it in half?
<3> like a fat kid sittin on a bench
<3> haha
<2> It could bend or break parts off the motherboard
<3> haha it is a fat kid sittin on the bench!
<2> Or the retention clips could break and the fan falls to the bottom of the case
<2> Depending on how strong your board's OEM bracket it
<2> is*
<3> but whater cooling is waaay better than air cooling
<2> No
<3> I mean its about the same price. the temperatures are way lower. and its waaaaaaay waaaaaay quieter
<2> Water coolong is averagely better than air cooling if noise is a concernt
<2> concern*
<2> 1) No where NEAR the same price)
<2> 2) Temperatures are 5-8 degrees lower
<2> and decently quieter
<3> no, temperatures are way lower
<3> it is the same price
<3> I was just looking danger den site
<2> Bull****
<3> a cpu water block is like 30 bucks
<2> Yeah
<2> but what about the resevoir
<2> That's only a block
<3> gpu water block is about 40
<2> so you've spent 70 bucks on two pieces of metal, now you need to buy the tank of water and pipes
<3> so the resevoire is where you have to pay more. but you can use the resevoir with lots of water blocks
<2> maybe
<2> A complete kit will run you about 120 bucks after shipping
<2> and you can outfit an entire case (video card, GPU, hard drive, and case fans) for about 50
<3> well for me I'd have to buy a 50 dollar cpu cooler. multiply that times 2 for my dual opterons. then I need a gpu cooler for my geforce 6600. then I need a chipset cooler for my nforce4 northbridge
<3> so 1 resevoir that i can use for all that will be great
<2> what 6600 do you use?
<2> what brand?
<3> nvidia geforce 6600
<2> thanks
<2> what brand?
<3> nvidia!
<2> MSI?
<2> BFG?
<2> EVGA?>
<2> PNY?
<2> ASUS?
<3> ah hold on
<2> Nvidia doesn't make ANY video cards
<3> xfx
<2> Your stock cooler is fine
<3> hah
<2> what temperature is it running?
<3> my bro comes in my room asking if there is an airplane flying by
<3> I put in another fan
<2> So noise is an issue?
<2> get the nvsilencer
<3> by who?
<2> Thermaltake I believe
<3> and it takes up other pci slots that I could use
<2> Arctic Cooling sorry
<3> that thing takes up an extra slot
<3> and I need that slot
<2> for what?
<2> Your case is THAT big you can't afford 2 slots for video?
<2> err.
<2> case is that small*
<0> is there a file i can copy to a floppy disc that will give me the option to select what i want to boot from
<0> i think thats how i got it to work last time but i dont have that file anymore
<0> i dot think
<0> hmm
<1> what?
<0> i dont know wtf this thing is
<1> if you have multiple operating systems installed you'll need a boot manager
<0> yeah... i cant install linux though because it wont boot from my dvd drive
<0> brb
<1> such as lilo or grub
<3> RogerRabb what do you think about water cooling?
<3> CJDeak my motherboard is asus k8n-DL
<6> anyone use litestep?
<7> i did for awhile
<7> kinda grew tired of funky little things not being compatible
<1> I don't like water inside computers
<1> especially in expensive ones
<1> I'd use peltier cooling before water cooling
<0> is there not a cd i can boot onto and then when installing change the source to the dvd drive?
<0> i think what i did once was i downloaded a 54mb file that when you got it it would download everything you selected to install and nothing more... i got that then i just installed it all from my dvd
