Just curious, I have an Acer T180 that came with a gig of ram, I purchased an additional stick of ram a little while ago (2 gigs in total) System runs very good but I find it's very sluggish when I'm running VirtualBox.
What's the best processor I can replace the one I have with that will be compatible with my motherboard? The processor I have now is 2.4 ghz I believe.
I have an Ipaq H3800 that is loaded with OPIe v1.2. How do I unload it so I can reload it with its original windows so I can ebay it
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having an unusually fraught time trying to installing Linux on a new box (Dell Precision 5500, Nvidia FX 3800 graphics), x64_86. After following Leigh123Linux's recommended method for disabling Nouveau, I was able to verify that the nvidia module was loaded, Nouveau was not, but the system nevertheless hung at boot. As a last resort I downgraded the graphics card, replacing the FX3800 with an FX1800, et voila!, the drivers found the card and all was it should be, with no changes to the system configuration. This is a bit mysterious as the FX 3800 is purportedly a supported card. The only sign that anything may have been amiss during the installation was the missing firmware warnings:
W: Possible missing firmware aic94xx-seq.fw for module aic94xx.ko
W: Possible missing firmware ql8100_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.ko
However, it's not clear that this is of any consequence. For now, my FX 3800 is back in its anti-static bag for the foreseeable future..
I have a Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop with a 30 GB HD; every distro of Ubuntu I have tried to install on the HD fails or makes the laptop crash. With my latest attempt, using Lubuntu 11.04, I was able to boot to the live CD, but I keep running into some form of system crash; I have over 256 MB of Ram on it, so it should not be a RAM issue according to the documentation.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have really never thought of this question before up until i was asked by my friend what does it mean for a processor to be 64 bit as opposed to 32 bit? how is it better? sadly for me i wasn't able to answer it. i did a little of googling (i must admit i didn't have much time) and wasn't able to find an answer. What does it mean for a processor to be n-bit, where n = {4, 8, 16, 32, 64}. Aside from knowing that I can operate on larger data values on a 64 bit processor rather than on a 32 bit one, I know nothing more.

Is it possible to convert/recompile an already compiled x86 binary into an ARM binary?I'm using a BeagleBoard with a command-line Ubuntu (Maverick) and want to run a Ventrilo server but the x86 executable they supply cannot be run on the hardware as far as I can tell (most likely due to differing architecture).Unfortunately I don't have access to the source to allow me to recompile it natively.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm working on this Intel Celeron HP33w Pavillion with 512mb ram and a 180 gb hard drive. Installed xp on it, partitioned half the drive and left the other half blank. xp installed no prob, then installed ubuntu on the second partition letting ubuntu create the partition and swap space (which was 3 gigs) and it installed fine (aside from being incredibly slow to go through the actual install process). Once finally booted into ubuntu with no other programs running aside from the standard ones that start with ubuntu, i added the system monitor to the panel and expanded all the other monitors. Memory was normal, cup average was 100% and cpu usage was 100%. Figured something went wrong with the install so I reinstalled and got the same result. Window xp runs just as fast as it should with 512mb of ram so I'm sort of at a loss as to why ubuntu is eating up all my memory with no programs running.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am going to order the parts and build a new PC soon. One goal I have on my new machine will be to use Windows as little as possible and use Linux. In Linux I will need to use an emulator/virtual machine of some sort for things like playing World of Warcraft or City of Heroes and running Photoshop. (No, Gimp is not just as good for my needs). I plan to have 4Gb, to start, of ram and my question comes to one of processor selection. I assume that running a Windows app in Linux would be one of the most system taxing things I could do. Would I be better served by more processor cores or a higher clock speed for these tasks? I will undoubtedly have an AMD proc. I have been considering the following.
Athlon II X3 440 3.0 Ghz.
Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition 2.8 Ghz
Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2 Ghz
Athlon II X4 630 2.8 Ghz
AMD Phenom II X2 545 3.0 Ghz
I am leaning towards the X3 440 (or 435) for the sake of cost so that I can squeeze a discreet video card into my budget but that it outside the scope of my question. Extra info just in case The Black Editions are very over-clockable with unlocked CPU multipliers. The Phenom II CPUs have 6Mb of L3 cache and the Phenom II CPUs do not. The question boils down to how well Linux and Wine are multi-threaded to make use of all available cores and what impact, if any, L3 cache has in a Linux environment.
I was wondering if I would be if i able to use x86 linux distros with my 64 bit processor, or do I have to use the 64 bit version?

What do we need slack64 for? What are the differences and advantages?
Is it true that EVERY core 2 duo processor is both 32 and 64 bit?
Does anyone know if there is a way to "unset" processor affinity? So if you bind a process to just one proc, but then want to tell the OS to revert to normal behavior? Also, when you bind a process to a processor, can other processes use that process or does it have exclusive usage of that proc?

View 9 Replies View RelatedCan I set up my system to use a specific processor to do one task, and another processor for normal applications.
Say for example, I'm using a program that relies heavily on your processor, I have a dual core, so I can use one core for that, and another for normal applications.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my processor two days ago(p4 -> C2D), and ever since then I have been getting segfaults, which are causing my programs to crash randomly. At first I thought it was isolated to one program(deluge), but after searching around I was looking at the /var/log/messages and found a bunch of segfault messages after I installaed the processor. Here is the grep from the messages file:

Basic Info: Ubuntu 10.10, AMD RM-70 2GHZ Processor, HP G60-120US, Bios F54. I'm unable to scale my processor (either core) using the applet in the menu bar. Every time I try, I select 2GHZ, and re-open; then it's displayed that 500MHZ was selected. I'm unable to pick any speed, the computer has a mind of it's own in that sense. It's essentially stuck at 500MHZ for 98% of the uptime, which makes it impossible to do anything more than web browsing. Ex: I tried watching an HD video, I watched 5 min, and 1,400 out of the 10,000 or so were dropped!

Also, what could be this hardware be classified as : dual core? quad core ?...
P.s: each of these processor listings also have an item called "siblings" which is 2 for all... Just thought i'll include this here because i felt it may be relevant to this question..
I have an old mini-desktop computer I want to have as a spare machine for internet browsing and checking email. It has a copy of XP currently, but the previous owner didn't put the key in so I can't get onto it at all. I plan on putting linux on it, just not sure what it can handle. It has 384 megs of RAM I believe, and the processor is a via C3, so I'm not even sure if I can run linux on it. I've checked the faqs and googled a bit, but I can't tell if it's i486, i586, or one of those things, and I'm not sure what linux distros(if any) are compatible. Will linux mint be able to run on a 900mhz processor of this sort and 384 megs of RAM? I'm thinking no, but it's the only linux distro I've dabbled with before. If not, will ubuntu? Will opensuse?
