any good light shareware/freeware to detect hardware configuration?
Hi,This morning around 11:00am I'm going to buy an used desktop.Before I make the purchase, I hope to know its hardware specifics.So could anyone please shed some light on what small shareware/freeware I can try to detect hardware configuration? Thank you very much!ZhaoBTW,The seller asks for around $300 for this desktop (Shuttle XPC Mini Desktop Computer: 60 GB HD, DVD-RW Drive, 512 DDR Memory. Condition: like new). Does it sound a fair price given the information in his Ad above?
Re: any good light shareware/freeware to detect hardware configuration?
I don't know what operating system is on that desktop, but I suppose it's not Linux. So my question might well be off-topic here, but I wanted to try my luck here, since this group looks very active and you guys are quite responsive to any question, including a recent thread about where to buy a new system :) Thanks, Zhao Zhao Peng wrote: Hi, This morning around 11:00am I'm going to buy an used desktop.

Tons (107) of utilities and such it should tell you everthing you need to know plus help you configure once you do. They'll send it to you for the price of shipping.

There is an interesting tool for winders named 'PC Wizard' that does a lot hardware detection and cool stuff. http://www.cpuid.org/pcwizard.php http://www.cpuid.org/download/pcw2006_v1661.exe __ | 0|___||.

Re: any good light shareware/freeware to detect hardware configuration?
The previous two suggestions are pretty solid, and I'll second the Knoppix suggestion. However, my usual approach to used hardware (and I deal with a lot of it) is to open the case and take the parts out. I generally write down the serial and part numbers and maker names off of the bits and pieces and then start Googling for the stuff that I've not seen before.

Re: IPTables question
Where is the UAS running that the client is communicating too? The re-INVITE should have the same call-id, branch and to tag, so I'm thinking the UAS will pick up the IP change which is ultimately what you want.

1600sw xorg.conf (Hi, Paul!).
Hi, guys. I installed Ubuntu recently, and made the switch from XFree86 to X.org. All things, more-or-less, went smoothly, with one sorta-odd exception: my 1600sw LCD, which has a resolution of 1600x1024, seems to now have a virtual desktop of approx 1600x1050 -- just enough that the bottom Gnome panel is off-screen. If I mouse down, it comes up... but then the top panel goes away. I just want it to get to the real resolution. Needless to say, 1600x1024 are the only resolutions mentioned in my xorg.conf file, most of which I pilfered from my (fully functional) XF86Config-4 file. I've Googled, to no apparent avail. I've got the Number 9 card (as opposed to the Glint card) -- the only two cards that directly support this poor monitor. Any suggestions/ideas/etc.? -Ken ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
