[QCLUG] new computer problems

[Noah J Norris]

ok new update ^^

hooked everything back up linux is running great .

thankyou everyone that replied. 

now this is fast, seems theres no linux bugs as of yet ( like unsupported 
stuff or problems like my laptop ) 

installing 64 bit gentoo , everything works compiling software was making the 
unit shutdown , its running fine now  . note it compiled xorg so fast i ddint 
even see it compile when i walked out of the room

the manuals says 380 watts w/ sli 2 memory banks and 2 drives or 500 watt for 
sli w/ 4 memory banks 4-6 drives   

2- ide 1 dvdrw 1 sata and 4 banks ( NO sli ) is my setup (3 case fans 1 
processor and 1 gpu fan )

the memory is buffalo memory goto there website and look up ddr2 667 mhz ram 
it does say under voltage 1.8V + .2V yeah i know never seen that before upped 
it to 2V system is rock solid

now i most read more documentation to see how to run all those 32 bit needed 
apps ( might just go back to 32 bit ..... ) 

side note i got my lcd to work correctly oddly it dont work with native 
resoultions under windows ....  its fun to look at a widescreen lcd and seee 
1024x768......
