See more later.... Needs to be clearer here. Also, it would be great if you can include a list of tools (like gimagex) and download locations at the bottom.

Larger ram sticks are better. If you can get a 1 x 4GB you can get 16GB on the board.

Wow. That's expensive!

I'd like my name changed to weEvil and my login to simply weevil please.

Not at all. OS 9 is the old classic Mac OS that has NOTHING in common with Mac OS X. Mac OS X has a Mach kernel, which is BSD-based (it's not BSD, just based on it). It also has a lot of heritage from the NeXT platform. And FreeBSD isn't Linux at all, just like OS X or Solaris or Windows aren't. My bad. I don't know much about OS9. While I do realize that FreeBSD and Linux are not the same, the similarities are striking enough to group them, especially since they evolved from UNIX.

Again, there's better alternatives in most cases (Win CE, Win Mobile, Symbian, VxWorks, etc), unless up-front price is the big issue (free wins here of course). So what is cheaper between paying $$$ for a better dev platform, or having to write a lot of stuff yourself (costs $$$ too), mostly depends on which kind volume you'll sell (and to some extent your profit margin). We don't use Linux in any of our embedded products, it's just not worth it. Linux works "best" in a small subset of embedded devices with high-volume (like routers or tivo's). Notice how even new shiny devices like the iPhone don't use it? Yep, it was better for them to write their own OS for it (based on another product -- a desktop OS, not quite from scratch, but still). Isn't the iPhone Linux based? iPhone OS = OS9 = FreeBSD ~ Linux Or is it just OSX that is FreeBSD. It sounds good. Microsoft is great at interoperability, but performance is also important. I guess it depends on the size of the organization. With enough developers and technicians to take care of Linux it might be cheaper than licensing from Microsoft after a certain volume. I guess this is why the large corporations prefer Linux.

Server 2008 and Vista have some great performance monitoring tools. They will help you track down the issue.

Definitely the ram. You have 1000 errors too many. Try to take it out, dust it off and switch the slots. See if it does anything. Also, check to make sure the BIOS settings are the proper defaults, voltage, frequency.. etc.

Way off. The G80 chips and newer have issues.

Yup. Go on shady websites. Try some bad torrent sites and download. Look for stuff like "full game", "gears of war 3" and they're 500kb in size, or other ridiculous names at impossibly small sizes.

Fricking awesome.

I couldn't get past the author's huge ego in the first paragraph. OP, you posted this trash, please summarize it for me.

Why would he do that? Its not funny at all. This video is totally, totally lame. I want my 8sec back.

Yeah, Linux can be run on anything. Great for embedded. I read Linux has lower overhead for distributed computing vs Windows.

Thanks for retooling aviv00's guide. Its much easier to follow now. So this also works on Server 2008 Web? Its got a slightly different arrangement. Also, there is no gimagex. Its simply imagex.

Is the laptop OCed? Do you have the latest BIOS updated? If all else fails try to disable some devices one by one from the BIOS menu to see what's causing the issue.

Linux\UNIX\Etc. is also good, and better than MS software depending on the application. For embedded, server and distributed UNIX & variants can't be beat. Yup. Linux is mostly developed by corporations. IBM, Intel, and the rest too long to mention make contributions to the Linux code base all the time. What the OP fails to take into account is that the 'system' is much larger than him and his computer screen.

I was quoting an example to show possibility. There are many useful pieces of software on the Microsoft website. You stated that: You have been proven wrong. Get over it. FYI. Linux is not completely free. Someone pays for it. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Easy. Set your desktop resolution really low.

The second one looks to be very slightly zoomed in. Sideshow uses nearest neighbor image zoom. Its really, really bad for resizing pictures.

Did you purchase it as an upgrade?

This post is BS. Look at the links near bottom of post. Its an ad/spam bot.

You can but it serves no purpose. 64-bit apps use slightly more memory because of the x64 overhead. Its like this by design. Your 2GB just became 1.8GB.
