Re: [newbie] Multiple CPU (2 Celerons or one Pent-3)

1999-09-07 Thread Daryl Sinclair



I have a 300 celeron running at 464 @2.0 volts.. Both Linux and Win98 love
it.. and so do I. Never had any problems and system runs 24/365. It is much
faster then the AMD 475... I have both and perfer the Celeron's speed.

 Overclocking a Celeron - I know a lot has been written about this in a lot
 of places but 1 quick question - I know overclocking voids the Intel
 warranty (in fact I think running dual-Celerons voids the warranty also -
I
 might have read that on Slashdot) but can it actually fry the CPU, or does
 it just make the system unstable?  I have also read (RedHat site perhaps?)
 that Linux does not take kindly to overclocked systems because it has a
 faster kernal and therefore more susceptible to system timing problems.
Is
 this still true?

 Some of you mentioned that SCSI gives a much higher performance than IDE,
 especially when dealing with multiple requests.  IF I have 4 IDE devices
on
 4 separate channels (as opposed to two), can Linux make a request to each
 device concurrently?  How does this differ from the way SCSI makes
requests
 to drives?

 For PBen - SLab runs on Linux.  Have a look at
 http://www.llornkcor.com/SLab/SLab.html  As the web site says it takes a
bit
 to learn.  I am still very much in the learning stage at the moment.  I
need
 a month off work so I can sit down and learn.

 Is this an existing marriage yet? I was planning on getting a DSL line
 in before I dove into this Linux thing.

Thats pretty much how I did it. Or for the matter Linux did it. Just choose
DHCP and it flies..
BTW The trueput is better on my Linux system then Win98 or OS/2

[newbie] RE; WordPerfect Printer Driver's

1999-07-04 Thread Daryl Sinclair

I have just installed Wordperfect 8. Seems quite nice, BUT useless to me unless
I can find a print driver for my BJC-600 Canon. I see Corel is up to date on
the drivers I have found on there web site. List the printer but only for
an older version and a dos driver to boot. Anyone have any ideas as to were
this driver might be located. Or do we just install Star Office.

thanks for any and all advice,
