Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Unhappy PC vs MAC vs linux...performance issues.

i recentley built a brand new pc ,p4 3.4 ghz, 1gb ram, xp pro, and it allredy seems to be giving me problems. such as freezing ,crashing ,slowness, and lots of other wonderful things. what i want to know is if all the stuff im hearing about mac and linux is true, eg "they dont get viruses they dont crash they dont freez they run much smoother and faster etc. dose any one use these things and are they reely as great as they say they are?? or are all computers just headache machines? i have used an old power mac befor ,os 7.5 i think, and it wasent much better ,it crashed all the time and was slow as sh*t. but what is os x like??

Salut, you could always try running a live cd Linux to test if your problems are hardware or software related. I recommend ubuntu right now http://www.ubuntulinux.org/download/

For osx, I like it miles better than windows, but it is not flawless. For instance, the speed of osx is really fine only if you have over 512mb of ram. You also pay more to get a mac, but it is worth it IMO. Great interface, great software, easy, plug and play, and the best multitasking. Games are slow on osx though. There are always tradeoffs.

Ciao

Hey !

ray

(with unfortunate last name !!!)

Forget XP...

FORMAT and install Windows 2000 Professional...

Allow, depending on your current HDD total capacity, min 40GB partition for Linux when you FIRST install/Setup Win 2K...

Try to allow at least 40GB for the Linux partition...
Let Win 2K installer do the partition stuff for you... Safer...

OR

Stick another HDD into your machine, format it initially, and then install Linux (MANDRAKE !!!!!!!!!!!) onto the separate HDD...

This post is strictly preliminary.... There are loads of really nice and PATIENT people here who will help you...

RELAX !!!!

that sounds like a verry good plan C . i just re installed windows and that fixed my drive letters problem and hopfuley it will clear up the overall performance etc...maybe i just dident do it right the first time :/ . plan b is to install another stick of ram , i think you have to have 2 installed for good performance regardless of the size of the ram , i think i should have memory installed in sockets a1 and b1 for it to work corectley (like the mobo instruction manual sez) insted of just one 1gb module in a1. i could just have low memory bandwidth and that could be causing crashes/freezing. is this idia correct??? anyway if that dosent work il definantley install 2k and or linux....or both like you sed. or ? will mac osx run on pc hardware??? hmmm....

It is best to check ALL your drivers to see if you have the latest versions.
Usually the drivers you find on a CD that came with your MB are outdated.

You happen to have a Intel Chip on your ASUS board, go here for your chipset :

i think the chipset drivers might have done it. there are no yellow ? marks in device manager other than the raid controller , i dont have a raid setup nor do i intend on installing one so i dont think that one is nesisary, is it??

the mobo manuel sez that if theres onley 1 ram stick it will onley work in single channel mode and for dual channel mode it needs ether 2 or 4 sticks. dose this meen if i put in another identical stick of ram it will increce the memory BW and make it work smoother? could the crashing just be from a memory BW bottleneck due to just one ram module??

im allmoast certen its the modem now, because iv noteced its onley been crashing when im on the net or connecting/dissconnecting from it . i did a test last night to see if reely was the modem , i started moast of my applications : LW,mame arcade game emulator,ares p2p, wordpad, WMP with g-force viz looping several songs, task manager,peergaurdian, both of my antiviruses and several folders. cpu usage was 12-45% , all while NOT connected to the internet or using the modem in any way, so i went to sleep and 10 hours later everything was running just the way i left it , cpu usage a steady 35% avrage. so i figurd that if it can run 7 apps a the same time while offline than its the modem. it shouldent be the contacts on the memory ,everything was brand new out of the box and the gold contacts all looked verry shiny. the modem was the onley thing i cheeped out on when i selected parts for this thing, i bot 2 of the same modem ,1 for my new "super computer" and 1 for my old windows 98 email macine. the older comp is doing verry simalar things sence i installed the modem (its more severe with the older comp because it crashes EVERY time you try to connect to the net) . allso the memory i got for it is listed in the mobo manuel so it shouldent be incompatebul. it has to be the modem. stay away from 8$ modems....

bitstreame i think youv been the most helpful person in here so far ,thank you. peerless being a close second.
