    Onboard RAM & Video Cards

    I haven't tried this yet, but it seems you can also use the unused memory as RAM disk: http://schichtleiter.1338.at/?p=254 An upgrade to a 64-bit OS will require a clean install
  2. Finally, my MacBook Pro 17" arrived. I waited 2 months for this machine.
  3. I bought today a Huawei E160 3G modem
  4. I just purchased an Acer Aspire One 150L netbook along with an external LG GE20 DVD writer.

    Virtualization

    Originally Posted By: jmmijo It does run mighty fast on my new Quad-Core system but of course the lack of any native driver support for your host machine graphics card makes for some interesting 16 color VGA display issues... There are drivers (Additions) available for most operating systems: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes With enabled additions you can do things like this: http://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/wiki/Screenshots/VirtualBox_OSX_beta_3.png

    Windows 7 Public Beta 1

    I tried it now on an almost 9-years old Acer notebook (Celeron 700MHz, 512MB ram). Overall, the performance isn't really bad but there are multiple strange issues. For example, I hook up my 3G mobile modem over USB and Windows 7 didn't detect that I plugged something in. I unplugged it and then re-plugged it back and then finally Windows 7 recognize the modem and installed the drivers. Now I tried to connect to the Internet but Windows 7 forgot in the meantime that the modem is plugged in. I was not able to connect to the Internet at all. The same modem is working just fine on my other PC with Windows 7, so it seems that this issue is related to the USB drivers. Other things such as video or audio are also not detected. I assume there are no longer Windows 7 drivers available for such old hardware.

    Windows 7 Public Beta 1

    I installed it on my test PC and it is currently the primary OS there. Seems like a pretty solid release after I didn’t run into any issues yet. All needed drivers are included or automatically downloaded from Windows Update.
  8. This minor update to the CompatDB specifications adds support for Windows 7 and Windows 7 (x86_64) You find the updated specifications here: http://www.compatdb.org/specs-1.02.txt

    Eaccelerator does not start anymore

    Perhaps a PHP security update broke the compatibility? Have you tried to recompile/reinstall eAccelerator? Any special reason why you use eAccelerator over APC cache? APC cache can be easily installed/upgraded over PECL and run beautiful even under heavily load.
  10. I just bought a WDElements external hard drive with 1TB storage for backups. Finally, I can make a full backup of both drives in my PowerMac G5

    KNOCK KNOCK! Data Recovery or HDD Repair?

    The drive in question is most likely defect and cannot be repaired. There is no way to fix the drive head or anything else in the hard disk.
  15. After this happening only recently it is most likely an issue with the fan/heatsink. I would bring the laptop to the next service center.

    Evolution erase my email from Hotmail

    No, but you need to select the option to leave a copy of the emails on the server. To doing this in Thunderbird: Tools => Account Settings => Server Settings => Check "Leave messages on server"

    Evolution erase my email from Hotmail

    Unfortunatly, it is not possible to re-import your emails back to Hotmail. However, you can move your emails to Thunderbird. Evolution and Thunderbird are using the same data format (mbox) for emails. You find a migration guide here: http://www.linux.com/articles/113798
