I tried PLD but could not make it work at all (kernel panics over and over again). Now i have Arch installed on second drive with XFce as my desktop enviroment.

i don't know if you tried that already but that have done the trick for me: start Fingerpting Control Center (administrator rights required) Settings->System Settings General Tab: uncheck "Start Control Center on Windows Startup" Logon Tab: check Standard Windows Logon Security Mode Tab: check "Conv...

From my point of view W7 still needs way to much resources to just start. After fresh install it already uses more memory than my entire system right now (not counting 1.5G ramdrive). When i install software that i use that level is almost doubled. That level + ramdrive + 750MB for virtual machine o...

what is this 'windows contrast theme' of which you speak? In fact it is my adaptation of Windows Classic Theme :). That looks indeed very nice! But how useful is it for example when working with Word or Excel or some other program with lots of menus or even featuring the new M$ ribbons style? I bel...

Here is mine:

i've just found this on lenovo site: Wireless LAN adapter software (ThinkPad 802.11bg, 802.11abg) for Windows XP and 2000 (...) 5.3.0.85 (Windows XP) 5.3.0.85 (Windows 2000) [Important] The computer may hang with NMI parity error on blue screen when power save mode in the adapter properties is set t...

NMI is sing of a damaged or overheating memory so memory test is a good idea. But it may show that everything is fine. Simmilar crashes are happening to me from time to time without any clear reson. I cheked my memory using memtest and it shows that everything is fine but still..... When those crash...

Well, here's what MS techs have said(...) All of this according to MS speakers at MS presentations. You are missing 4 service packs released for w2k (6 if count unofficial ones). And they are not just packed together security updates. W2k with sp4 is no more or less capable that XP (not including s...

You can also add that w2k does not require activation to work which in fact is nothing more but another missed antypiracy mechanism. What you said about the memory footprint not mattering,(...)Poor IT hygiene. Finally, i meet someone with realistic point of view for that "user friendly" soft written...

You can install 4GB in thinkpad T60 but 3GB is the maximum capacity that will be recognized and used by your OS, so it's better to buy combination of 1+2GB sticks if you're thinking about maxing out your memory. Unless your running a 64 bit OS :) or Linux. Yes but not on the T60/T60p. Check this ou...

I can't be sure but yes you can run modules with different density of chips in dual channel mode. Main thing is to have modules with the same size and timings. I'd say that chip capaicty on each module is its internal matter. You can easily check if your memory is worknig symetrically using tools li...

As far as i know the only difference between these two is the capacity of single chip on each memory module. In case of module which has 8 chips ( 4 on each side) the capacity of one chip is 128MB, in case of the second module where is 16 chips (8 on each side) one chip's capacity is only 64MB which...
