PC Blues
I shall begin to discuss some problems I have encountered while building a PC. To begin, read about the basic PC configuration
More Problems
Before I was interupted with the Texas Trip, I had built a computer. I built a rather elaborate Mulitmedia PC that was intended to run Linux.
AMD64 3200+ CPU
Foxconn motherboard with PCI express
Nvidia 6600 PCI Express Graphics card
DVD RW
2-160 GB SATA drives
PCHDTV Card
Twinhan Sateliite Receiver Card
WinTVGo TV receiver
old TV receiver card that I am trying to figure out what to do with.
So, I bought a static strap and put it all together. Took a while, but I wasn’t rushing things.
Then I loaded a Fedora Core 3 image disk and started it up. No sparks, buzzes or smoke. The drive started up, the monitor lit up and something was happening. Then everything hung and I had a ‘kernel panic’. This is not good and I need to start tracking things down.
Evidently my configuration is cutting edge.
When I got back from Texas I tried to use the Hoary Ubuntu Live release and there was still a ‘kernel panic’
Onward to find out why I have a bad RIP value.
Problems
I seem to be having some difficulty pasting HTML tables into Word Press, so I will try something different and link to them instead, if that works.

Colorado is #4 in Identity Theft! We should be so proud. Open the Mulitmedia Graphic for more details.

From Slate- An interesting Idea that I will strive to investigate later in my copious free time.
Of course, googling for ‘Web Page Markup’ is not a very interesting google in this sense.
Power Supply Wattage Calculator
Power Supply Wattage Calculator – JS Custom PCs, LLC – Custom Built PCs, Laptops and Servers! You Need It We Can Build It! I found this helpful little calculator. I am trying to build a quiet PC and keeping the Power Supply Unit to a minimum will help. I don’t need to put a 500 W PSU if I am not going to ever draw over 350 watts.
