Wolfram Alpha: Are you smart enough? Instant Driver Backup. CPU Temperature Panic: Stop it! Our picks for high performance CPU coolers, streaming events online for free, and the ultimate in castle crushing technology!
Wolfram Alpha is the latest endeavor from famed Mathmatica creator Stephen Wolfram. Not a search but computational engine Wolfram Alpha has great potential as a calculation and analysis tool but some still wonder how practical of a tool it really is.
Matt sent us a video question asking about the best course of action in regards to upgrading his Rambus using PC. Should he go out a purchase the relatively rare and hard to find RDRAM modules or should he just upgrade his motherboard? And if so, what else should he upgrade?
Hazifan's quite worried about the 50 degree Celsius readings coming from his CPU... we talk about CPU temperature monitors, when you should worry, and offer up our favorite brands of CPU coolers.

" Wow. Coming up on Tekzilla it's gonna Killian ACP hill street a wedding on. And what to consider before you buy your next Mobo the plus some hot dogs and cats appear bun because Tekzilla starts now. This episode of Tekzilla is brought to you by. For three cores like the world's most pressing -- put it or ticket and godaddy.com."
" About a Norton product. Well the Tekzilla handover views of the latest second how to make the most of -- here you'll radio."
" When they're beginner at tech support your friends and family you've got a question about turning web sites into desktop apps better audio. Post top eight -- had to tell your beer is cold you've got an answer Korea if we don't -- to track -- somebody who does. And until beer's cold. How do you to beer's cold gets on his sweaty fitness and what he understands -- to be -- they get cold refreshing."
" And yeah."
" I ethnic spears in the park this weekend he did and a volleyball tournament like this is like volleyball tournament it was the bay to breakers as we answered that yes. I avoided that we think the radio walking and he was on. The."
" Big people drunk people people come and actually the -- was really Merrill -- and I saw an annuity you people. Yeah they they really clamp down on everyone this year you weren't supposed be drinking partying apparently had an likely but -- on the park instant. -- athletic weekend did you email or tweaks as we get rubble from -- I did actually we're looking into it a little bit last night at home handling you know. You know what okay so error house and how they see what you're -- the right thing."
" There's the big guy behind -- there was one of those critical -- software made. Has decided it and as is it like -- bit of a super geeky -- friends -- program and they're all like. God I VMware I think super he immediately wiley -- who knew him to -- all drooling over this thing and pretty much. Everybody that who falls in the sort of normal human being categories it like that."
" And it'll let. This because if you wanna search for like I don't know. -- picture it doesn't really do you much good yes it won't work to be one of the many days you've been alive -- I've been alive for now 9000 execute -- is you know."
" Yeah what's weird is late because it's a website with a big slot the middle over the you can type or do people like it's -- it's it's a concern competitor. And there's been this huge they're -- all those calls right before wealth is going to challenge the Google paradigm and it's like it's not really. A search engine -- it's not the same you can't really compared to something like Google or Yahoo! or. Cooler you know -- wants him tried to come out to be Google killers so yet it's not a search engine despite its weird is all these columns been running it like it's a Google killer it's. It's kind of a new concept pick the Wikipedia database with the ability to run out or that except all the info in the database has -- a viable route as people or their people they've hired. And the database at this point is almost entirely about math science and finance. Hence you know it's."
" It's really if you if you type in your first name. And then you can find out like via frequency that your name has been used as the name over the past few years Alexio hold charge of it and -- fire popularity."
" on the war on -- just."
" There's just like post and that."
" I enterprise well what actually saying lets you laugh I think it was over PC -- was like it's not gonna tell you anything about you -- you happen to be a dead person we'll tell you tell you you're the popularity in the past and here. -- and it's that is if you if you like to play around with financial analysis if you're into you like you talk a little longer than that out if you -- math -- science there it's a lot of fun right now. And the rest of us this quote ambitious long term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately compatible what anyone probably doesn't have a lot of practical application do you think it's cool it is cool it's wicked cool if you're a programmer probably double wicked cool -- books but -- plastic that they come."
" From -- There Patrick and Veronica. It -- and this is an Ohio. I have a computer with argue -- you -- is so expensive to upgrade I was wondering if it make you worth replacing entire motherboard what would that require I don't know what's compatible what's that. Thanks guys I really love your show but it."
" Still there's a lot of thought were about to talk about applies to things Rambus based motherboard but yet -- buses what does grant you idea is that pretty much fizzle. Which sucks for you could you probably a lot of money on that but basically the whole system of the motherboard side of the chances are -- paid four processor and that box. -- long in the tooth but it it's a good processor for every day computing. That's that is single one -- state of -- 200 bucks two gigabytes in fact you back about 400 bucks. You could spend less and score a core -- motherboard in four gigabytes of ram."
" Yeah now Matt we're afraid this time ideally -- new cheap here too since -- new -- have PCI express to -- with a cheap memory and the new chipset features to go with the new CP UI a problem -- entering your power supply weed out of your current PSU has -- 400 watts of power so -- not. If your monitor as long attitude as we said -- you have -- case it didn't take atx or micro atx motherboard might be better off starting with an entirely new machine."
" Yet because if you look at that some of the deals out there on it's like 400 dollars you're gonna let us our our panel and a scorching -- and four gigabytes it just. Yeah I mean the problem -- it is moving data over the new machine or if your recycling all the rest of course your your your old machine you're gonna boot your hard drive over your new machine. In the baby's mother peripherals workers --"
" Stinks so there's a new technology that that link that the discounted dead ends and get stuck with stuff that you can't really work with anymore. If you have to -- for more memory you're probably better replacing your CPU motherboard and memory."
" Because it's it's gonna be huge boost in performance yeah. I hate mile an upside for. Two gigabytes let's process or according to gigabytes of ram -- much faster processor in even if you buy -- GPU and the new power supply you probably still on the 500 box. Versus -- of expertise when it ran."
" Assistant could still be video questions and we're totally the new black you know radical kind that doesn't show all the fingerprints on it says benefited video question so it's easy just. You know use a video camera make your little video question upload a -- matrix not longer than fifteen seconds or so and -- You'll be so fabulous and it's so easy to -- than this one today. Just like that -- Try to be like really persuasive because we love the video questions."
" Radicals that you would dollar if you send it have been killed by -- authority -- yeah. It down -- on a Kindle."
" But only if you said -- a video question today say it's like rain and money bills with that was the frames cool continues -- kid you know. --"
" Tell us the answer that question. Now still on the -- cooled down CPU cooling questions ahead but we've got your attention."
" But thank one of today's sponsors. Of course like the world's most refreshing beer chorus like dot com reminds weary workers to slip on the opposite port 53 PM for a cold refreshing -- The site offers helpful tool spewing your co workers the -- here boxing get together over cold ones. But the consistent alluring voice recorder like port 53 voice alert helps you send your house of personalized reminder to hook up for of course life. And should you needed justification for an early exit the -- like excuse generator provides convincing excuses that can be easily or uploaded. And look. And if you want cold front has arrived in the form of the -- eight X 1012 and sixteen around corners like cold activated hands. When amount is only able turned from white to -- your fear it's it's cold of the Rockies accord might they've made cold fear their policy."
" Speaking of the cold color change effect of course you can't we've got a question here about CPU cooling. Help the stock cool is Obama in. 120 degrees Fahrenheit. On cold days he's a dark it goes out on a hot this rpm goes up and it may -- the temperature of fifty degrees Celsius. Whatever I do to make it -- changing bios settings there you think it's six fifty degrees Celsius any thoughts recommendations of a bit cheap the mainstream he."
" for overclocking. -- Image expert on system offensive system up and stupid -- with I've. Stared -- stuns us and before system I used to own an actual. Refrigerated. CP basically refrigerated case. First if you clue and we've we've hooked a car radiator up to a water block system for overclocking and this is tank on the mineral water that has never discussed it again that was them. It was mess you guys have to go back and watch that set -- the the doors and dragging your brother bored out of five gallon table -- oil. Before that so let's talk -- TC PU temperature panic there's a ton of fud fear uncertainty and doubt -- processor temperatures especially from folks that live the putter about what heat sink and fan combos especially really expensive ones. Number one. Check the manufacturer for the maximum temperature guidelines 62 degrees Celsius is the Mac tip for your. Well your fine giving further -- it might help for overclocking might generally speaking that don't split second really. Don't panic modern processors shut down before that meltdown that used to not be the case I have the CPU bills to preventing. Third try some different programs to test your CPU temperature. Make sure your program actually works with the CP UB running sometimes they're wrong or worse yet they are actually report some random value it gets from somewhere on the motherboard because it's looking in the wrong place. -- of the monitor personal favorite lines from the CP ID folks works with pretty much any processor that's been sold in the last couple years. And outside. I gotta say that -- had prism here you've turned off cool and quiet in the bios it's designed to keep temperature with minimal fan noises that it's an indie feature. But covered about the processors need and the speed of the fan. He should also pulled it off your case to see if the temperature drops if it does you have air flow issues inside your case one. Cool -- to come in warm -- to go out want to make sure like all the fans are like sucking your from the outside and pushing it in. Because in the air flow it is the suck at that point."
" It is the soft -- edit your web site. Yeah up above retread of the onto the Internet to -- new CPU cooler you should try every mounting is -- some fresh thermal compound between in the seat you next month. We recommend the Arctic silver five around here what we use they can get your super geek on part OCP dot com just of the thermal paste shoot out that's worth. Reading for sure and it goes through a bunch of different stuff on make you clean up all the old compound first though. I so pro poll I -- element pronouncing that right so words I see all the time and never know how to do it."
" 90% rubbing alcohol drugs they're happy -- they don't charge like fourteen dollars a gallon which is basically the same stuff that you you don't try to something ought to -- cleaning fluid at the at the giant electronics store thing is I disapproval it's rubbing alcohol --"
" Yet to see is a tiny amount when -- to your heat sink. -- you want -- thinnest layer between your CPU cooler good info is on Arctic silver construction page by the way you can go check that out. On any thoughts on -- CPU cooler for form."
" Well it's basically I've had a lot of luck with stock CPU coolers most the time to do a fine job of spending money illegal is -- because they're pretty or cooler master because they take names and keep gas drops if you temperatures. I want to really get your take on go to bad -- dot he just finished a round up up 23. Indian Intel heat sinks. We're gonna put the link to that in the in the show notes it's a crazy they have put a chart. That's like. Seven zillion items long -- you can actually. It's across continuing basically from how loud the fan gets and how much it cools all the way through how quiet the thing gets and how much cool C basically look for the fans that -- the most cooling. With the least amount of noise or go to the extreme to the other."
" Well that's just a coverage increased majority don't find something there. I got nothing."
" Yet they don't panic in fifty degrees isn't bad and what it's not the most friendly overclocking processes running there. Don't don't keep too -- and fifty degrees Celsius sounds like a lot you certainly wouldn't want to be outside and now but it's it's he's not quite the dangers that. If you more degrees and include about. Her fault in this week's freebie download pick."
" A free program we find useful fun or incredibly interesting this week lifeless back up. He's back up the drivers on the piece he just bought them to want something handy if you need to resolve everything on your favorite PC driver back up has you covered. You can back up all your drivers just Microsoft supported -- a third party drivers for devices like the print -- sound card. The portability but backs up only drivers a 100% compatible backup and restore functions and digital signature settings. Back up only with -- drivers. You can even manually pick which drivers want are checking tick boxes idealistic driver set excellent just like the destination for your files and away you go. If you need a simple but effective way to save the drivers already installed on your system you should check out driver back up."
" There's still more to come including -- stream a wedding online. But before we --"
" Cyber -- from our sponsors click it or ticket seat belts save lives people think your best defense he gets injuries and fatalities in a car accident. Region three is -- hundreds of other state and local law enforcement highway safety officials in an aggressive click it or ticket. Campaign what's that mean. We want to crack down on most seat belt use -- produce highly paid out these gate at night. When worn correctly seatbelts have proven to reduce the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger car occupants by 45%. And by 60% in pickup trucks SUVs and minivans. And it should pick up trucks according to the NHTSA. My -- pickup truck drivers and passengers particularly young males. Consistently have the lowest seat belt usage rates of all motorists. You can increase the odds of survival of the rollover crash in a light truck by 80% by wearing your seatbelt lets you have money to burn want to risk a ticket or worse the life of your friends and yourself. You need to always remember to click it or ticket day and night."
" Let's say it's time for another website we just can't get enough. Let's said that it instantly from because it's -- useful funny -- just too darn irresistible this week's crushed the castle. -- the castle the flash game created by armored games and has taken the Tekzilla team ice storm. I called great crowds became a little silly -- to -- undeniably addictive here's how you play. Your kingdom its grave danger the enemy has built fortifications near city you have to use your powerful trying to -- want projectiles at them from a safe distance. Import killing -- ammunition to limit -- to have to take out everyone before you run out. Each Kessel spoke differently if they need to experiment with the right time to release the missiles from the traffic -- in order to do the most damage. Naturally the level it much harder as you progress to pay careful attention to what works -- need all of your skills protect your kingdom. Check out press the castle or any number of pre flash games that -- games I'm."
" You know the popularity streaming videos online a lot of people want to do it for themselves what I'm here in Trinidad and Tobago he writes I'd like to stream my brother's wedding for people who cannot -- there is there a site or service I can use -- stream and event and then have that site feed it to everyone else I don't mind if there's delay we won't be doing any video chat thanks -- here."
" I think like what we have to say here at their public free services that you can use a string that winning over the Internet. -- and this is a big if you have a decent connection where the wedding is taking place onion need to have a notebook or desktop and a camera of course the camera built into a notebook like the one on the Mac but here's a good start. On the if you -- coming up and running within a few minutes. I EV DO -- can do pretty well see you can."
" I've actually him like Latin that you extreme and stickam actually those -- like that can that you classics -- in this on the street right now to do that before. And I'm laughing because it's I forgot that we use when you -- and you showed the first thing you and ask you just basically describe the showing of information about the show. And they basically exhorted to skip that hit broadcast now. This is gonna be scary so let's go to Patrick Norton and that's Twitter. And and now you street has a Twitter information that we really dangerous."
" But when that happens just not that dangerous to about it unless we don't say analysts are streaming me say something stupid like streaming -- Twitter when lots of well I would never happen. The us who wants to be audio and -- on the web cam isn't necessarily mean exactly up up to carve what you're looking for."
" It gets that one of the big questions like he's literally humans you can do with -- that came -- you and they can't go to do it notebook of some people do that you can do it with it. You don't need a really expensive video camera is gonna get squished down maybe 64 by 480 upsides going to be your video stream. But if you can't find somebody's got. I can't with a decent microphone or or middle of an external microphone plug it in your notebook cheap USB capture devices for perfect for this."
" On -- last week I had a really great -- in the title that's what which about a hundred bucks right there."
" You know basically any good that can't that would actually do great with going to cause it's a wedding break you -- hear you -- would -- but he stuttering and intricate legal rent."
" More important."
" You having audio isn't as well as a video yet you're so you're basically all about the dress novel about -- about this what you say but that's about -- I think we're compatible Patrick well -- handle that right and they're gonna have that true true."
" Anyhow I get those services are free the only downside is that on. You want to look into may be making up a private stream -- I don't know how he's dead as opposed to those services never tried it before."
" As is nothing worse than light moves it trolls come into your stream and just check out the chat a word yes late summer was again capturing your video and becoming really popular YouTube now is the."
" You know being -- for the -- falls and it becomes one of I can't believe this is not an issue."
" Did do do do with the team did you have."
" Keyboard used to here's my personal favorite for the free ones that are out there it's easy to use easy to set up the video quality not too bad. If you guys this is -- is out there is a favor emails Tekzilla at revision3.com. Is we want to hear."
" He could do a private video streaming server. If he really wanted to -- and she wouldn't it. I mean you could do that I mean you could set up your own private streaming server and then. Have to worry about people finding it accidentally. Does -- the -- got people they want to see it. That's that's a lot more work I mean you might just wanna go from these free ones that can cost little bit of money."
" thought about doing before I just thought that just now on your site for next week okay -- video streaming server at home behind but don't ever done that feel pretty yeah I did it."
" Coming up next had to wrangle that mess accords under your desk but first. People godaddy.com. You're making me."
" Back online go to dot com has what shooting dot com -- little and the dollar and 99 cents that's cheap. We'll see a world class hosting fast and easy web site builders and quite a bit more. Godaddy.com make it easy to customize your own virtual dedicated server choose one of three popular plans or customize your own Linux or windows server -- all the plan options you need.

" Rick -- and have a problem. Wire sticking out the show of moderate ask does look nice to see -- that clutter but I like to have everything in one place my HDTV home theater speaker system PlayStation -- you -- Xbox-360 Nintendo -- We party your house part of my laptop hooked up with external hard drive and an -- that's why all on his desk. Any suggestions for cable management."
" Who didn't happen that's not -- big cats have got a solid courtroom legal it was all covered with telling Clinton that mounted stuff everywhere PS2 PS3. Xbox through sixty your bum loving guy and typically what time the cable management systems they can -- I'll put averaged just is easy to pick up a few local things for him the hardware store from Walgreens seconds that's not gonna cost as much -- buying something online. On zip times are pretty awesome for this task since you can bundle cables together I'm really tightly even color codes them by category higher consul cables to get in one section. HDTV -- home theatre stuff and another -- Atticus I give better than tape the deadly violence sticky residue on the cables afterwards."
" For six bucks you can -- big role like fifty to eighty velcro cable -- it over and over if you like to change things around a lot it's nice because you have to like snipped it ties."
" That's it is advertiser kind of permanent in the way you know -- kind of way you have to heat those of you hear him yes I. Your desk -- setup -- But if you wait 1010 I don't know maybe drill a hole in the top here density can fly animal back there I'm usually like desks have little. Have a little nugget. Yes so I think -- I don't know saw that."
" Right or or just cutting not to the back. Foam -- the kind these insulate pipes. Actually is really great for hiding cables can basically just run them through the cable and you just have tired disclosed shuttered closed by itself. I can also if given a key anywhere near they have great plastic cable fighters that'll cover up the cables dropping out from behind -- it costs you fifty."
" Or you can you can even -- of this would cause an can interfere just -- I don't think it lined up hello -- just like you know -- leg at your desk today so you know it it it takes up less room and it's kind of out of the -- Yes -- it makes some plastics scratching bordered on the son just came up with that that's like one of the -- wasn't very good. Ignore that one use dollars suggestions that the common answer you viewers other hasn't pretty inventive cable management systems that. You have to get yourself so -- detects already and it back on and we want some pictures pictures. Because that's it's super fun to see how people like -- together like that whether it's some kind of thing we have tape to a wall or. You know PVC power PC pipe came up another one I was thinking about it."
" People who are built like behind there ACTV or home theater they actually built sort of a cabin in the walls -- wires the cable through the wall."
" One thing that I always seen online on inventive ways of of wrapping up your headphones. Four legged guy here your inner ear buds but the final different things are wrapped around they keep some nice insecure and they're actually own the wires are never gonna."
" My wrap up like my headphone cables becomes -- done usually while riding a bicycle or something like asserted like making shorter cables from headphones."
" I'm seem deals with chimpanzees and audio files actually relates to an earlier question. I was triggered the audio off of YouTube videos while that first sent we've played chimpanzee riding a Segway over the PA system you had to donate money to really like to stop it. And Burlington. Anyway I found something called any no way audio extractor it's completely free and has a very simple interface keep on beyond some -- K I haven't exactly the kind of thing I was trying to think of last week when I went on alternative to to find an alternative to. Look wiretaps studio but it. And all those other programs that work really wonderfully -- faced -- to take form on this sounds like just that kind of thing. On you still to import that he'll be fine and I don't think you can do it directly from you or. But you have all these different options like he said the and it's it's really simple to use on this many different kinds of audio files that can convert to as well so it's not just for extracting audio and video files it's also conversion tool that does a synchronize on the editors over at download dot com seem to really like it -- Except they did report that sometimes the tail end of Q and be threes they were converting got clipped off. I hate when that happens so of the incident haven't been any other kind of audio file but MP threes you know maybe something of a difference for that. I'm also the fact that you tortured people with chimpanzee and the -- for charity is off some. You have one last tool for stripping audio and video do I have one last told I. Crystal River Connecticut wrote in to save the latest version audacity. To drag and drop a video file in and an export just the audio files of the file format of your choice I guess -- can do in these amazing on this is helpful for people who want to do this with a video that is not on YouTube so it's pretty much any kind of video file of the -- any kind of video file a lot of different versions work that's pretty cool it's. Really cool because we don't I was actually audacity rule is you shouldn't Italy and decoder. For the codec for MP3 you know you know the deal with that I'm no idea that it did that until you ruins of actress. Mom what we do have one more 10 yes we have one more. Another letter. That's said -- download manager FTM and Google just download install. Use drop box drag drop the video from YouTube little doubt that -- file is right clicking convert I'm has several conversion options it's the easiest solution that Jeff and has found that's like three options that I had no idea even existed. And there were not there on eleven different ways that the video there's like a billionth -- apparently. Apparently there are billion different ways to extract audio and video files I think we've covered enough. I think we don't need to sending more and unless we just one that is just so well. Now to something."
" If I -- visit Syria has. Too great if Joe the Monday's we're excited to tell you about it like stand up comedy to our awful come and every Monday around them the best standup comedy around the world. Davies -- this back because -- Atlanta Braves a TV this one must be seen to be believed. Comes out every other Monday took about that revision3.com. On Monday."
" And for all of you watching we live by your questions so we. -- Tekzilla at revision3.com tech help product reviews how to -- you ask us will do it but we need those emails so besides sit on into Tekzilla at revision3.com."

" It's -- attack we can or no actually she is talent she can argue about."
" your mama that."
" Row. And went there and let's thank one of today's sponsors. Perhaps this were -- eight."
" Weak let's phone she's really affect."
" Wow. Coming up on Tekzilla it's gonna Killian ACP hill street a wedding on.

" Big people drunk people people come and actually the -- was really Merrill -- and I saw an annuity you people. Yeah they they really clamp down on everyone this year you weren't supposed be drinking partying apparently had an likely but -- on the park instant. -- athletic weekend did you email or tweaks as we get rubble from -- I did actually we're looking into it a little bit last night at home handling you know.

" Yeah what's weird is late because it's a website with a big slot the middle over the you can type or do people like it's -- it's it's a concern competitor. And there's been this huge they're -- all those calls right before wealth is going to challenge the Google paradigm and it's like it's not really.

If your monitor as long attitude as we said -- you have -- case it didn't take atx or micro atx motherboard might be better off starting with an entirely new machine."
" Yet because if you look at that some of the deals out there on it's like 400 dollars you're gonna let us our our panel and a scorching -- and four gigabytes it just.

I hate when that happens so of the incident haven't been any other kind of audio file but MP threes you know maybe something of a difference for that. I'm also the fact that you tortured people with chimpanzee and the -- for charity is off some. You have one last tool for stripping audio and video do I have one last told I.

It would have been priceless if Patrick had opened the case after he beat it and threw it around and pulled out an HP netbook and, at least for a few seconds, the lovely and talented Bearonica thought it was hers.
And Pat, thanks for the recommendation on a video card. I need to upgrade a system but am not a gamer either, and I wasn't sure what the best values were. I'll be picking up an HD4770 on my next pilgrimage to Fry's.

I'm very anit-awesome-looking-cases just because they can be very expensive and don't add anything to the computer I would rather buy a super cheap case and spend the difference on RAM or better parts.
I shall be building a new PC (for me soon), although I always find when I build them they end up cheaper than Tekzzila's, I built my family a super-gaming-PC for £250 (would cost the same in $ because of price of parts), it wasn't great but it does everything it's needed to.
I never pay much atention to the looks of a computer, probably because no one apart from me sees mind, I did have KDE (a nice looking GUI) installed but I got rid of it for something more lightwieght as I relised I had no one to show the computer looks off to, not saying I don't have friends just that I don't spend all my time with them showing of my computer.

We liked the professional lool and dress of this episode. We like that the hosts are very amimated in their presentation. Though I do hope that Pat may consider getting advice on anger management. We like the fact that the hosts tried to control the use of expletives (excepting near the end). We like the fact it did not take the whole episode to put a puter together. There was plenty of content. We like the fact that there were detailed show notes.
We respect the Veronica may not be ready to use linux, The linux on the hp nettop was a poor example. The whole linux community was up in arms about that device. We wish she could see some real linux systems. I remember when she would only use Apple computers. It is just a matter of time before she expands her techiness horizons again. I do hope people do not have to pay an arm and a leg for w7. Just using a $300 device just to do web browsing in slow motion is a shame.
Intel plans to drop at least two of the i7 processors, so caveat emptor. That makes me leary about getting a newer system. That is especially true with the fine Intel was just handed by the EU, We have no problem still using our older equipment with the operating systems we have. I did buy a used two dollar socket 478 motheroard and a ten dollar p4 cpu to upgrade my desktop. Works quite well with linux. It worked wihout even having to reinstal linux on the drive that was used from the old amd cpu that died. By the way, W7 would not even install on the new drive I planned to use.
Anyway, we did save this episode.

Why are you talking about your selves in plural?

Hardware is fast enough, Core I7 is fast but 300$ its a bit high you can get E8600 with half the price and the same preformance...or go for AMD Phenom II 4x cores if you are coder maniac.
64bit use it with what WinRar is now 64bit mybe some hardware diag like HWMonitor from CPUID thats it mybe some decoding/encoding stuff and thats it...
Hardware this days its in a stall like it was back in the day of first Pentium era.

In reply to kzap:
Why are you talking about your selves in plural?
Don't you mean 'I' or is it a joint account?
Or are you just being crazy?
