Does your motherboard support DDR333? Is your motherboard old? If its old AND supports DDR333 then it prolly needs a BIOS update. You're best bet is to stick it right into a new system which definitely supports it and checkout what MHz it shows...

Yep, you'll lose all your data lest you use qparted and resize your partitions ;)

If you care to understand architectures then you would understand that you can fit more instructions per clock cycle and have a slower gigahertz OR you can have higher gigahertz and fit less instructions per clock cycle. BUT you cant have both. Intel has chosen the latter for its pentium...

My old PIII 450 MHz starts up within 20s with 192MB RAM and a slow 6.4GB 5400RPM HDD 8)

try this at your own risk: In the folder where you copied all the RPMs... rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm

enoomai, my $0.02. Intel processors always were and have been more "stable" than AMD processors. I remember Tom's Hardware guide testing processors for overheating problems. They removed the Heat Sink and fan off the processor while the system was removing. Their results? All Intel processors...

guys, you are talking about bandwidth/download intensive applications. Remember that you have only 600MB of free downloads ;)

keyloggers are the biggest concern. I know I have been to a cyber cafe and I have suspicions of keyloggers on the PCs and I was right. So I just didnt login to my accounts. Surfed for a while and left.

I doubt the 845 based mobo will have an AGP slot or if it does it will have a 4x AGP slot. You need a 8X slot for an Ati radeon 9600/9800 PRO.

sweet :) I was looking out for photoshop tuts.

all of the 128K+ packs have a download restrictions. Also, they have a terrible habbit of throttling your downloads.

If you want my advice then DONT INSTALL FREEBSD. It is EVIL! Yes, it destroyed my Linux, Windows and other partitions. Mind you I had allocated a FULL, PHYSICALLY SEPARATE, COMPLETE HARDDISK to it and still it had to go around mucking up the boot sectors of my other HDDs. IMVHO FreeBSD is still...

apple_grew, if you're logging into the same server with the same username/password then there is no way you can protect your work except 'hide' it. But it will do you little good because anyone knowing the locationg can easily delete it.

Just remove all the cards from you PC including the RAM. Now start it up. Does it beep? If so put in the AGP card. Try again. Does it beep? If yes, put in the RAM and start it up. Continue putting in one part at a time until you find the 'rogue' or 'bad' component.
