Im gonna buy a new system from dell. one im looking at has an athlon x2 4200+ whilst another has a core 2 duo 2.03 ghz. All the other specs are similar. I was wondering which would be better?

Yeah, the Gimp is good. And best of all it's free. But for the really complex stuff, the gimp is no match for photoshop

Software / which virus protection?

« on: April 13, 2006, 06:38:20 PM »

AVG isn't too bad. Nortons is crap, i would personally use AVG or Pccillian by Trendmicro , but if i had to use norton's or mccafee, i would choose mccafee, nortons is just not worth mucking with.

Software / I need help with DVD burning

« on: April 13, 2006, 06:34:16 PM »

Yep, sounds good. I also suggest, especially to burn copy protected movies, DVD Decrypter www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/ dvd_rippers/dvd_decrypter.cfm . Also, make sure that the burner you buy will burn both + and - dvd discs, all recent ones should. Also, you may fins that your DVD player may only plave a + or a - disc, so experiment with it b y burning a movie on each and try and play them. That way, you know that you only have to buy one type of disc, not both.

Happy Burning.
Ashton:)

[quote name=\'chmod777\' post=\'77751\' date=\'Dec 19 2005, 05:03 AM\']Hey all,

This is a great site and I've found some really helpful stuff, but does anyone EVER mod the forums? People make like 5 duplicate topics and no one says anything to them. Not to mention, half of them are scams...

Just a suggestion  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':unsure:\' />[/quote]

Allanon is a mod, join the antiscammers damnit!

Hey yall,

I'm rather new to linux but i wanna start using it coz i'm sick of windoze. I wish to use SuSE 10. Is it any good? Also, i don't understand how to get SuSE, i went to http://www.opensuse.org and went to download it, but there are so many choices. I think the right one for me is SuSE 10 OSS edition which has no pty software. IS this the right choice of should i get sumthin else?

Software / Burning ISO File "Its too large for the disc?"

« on: January 07, 2006, 10:17:37 PM »

yes, GET A DVD BURNER , go to http://www.newegg.com and get yourself a cheap quality dvd burner, install in your tower, go to nero, setup the iso for burnign, chuck in a blank dvd and your done. I also believe there are some software that u can use to extract iso's onto ur hard disk. try isobuster or winiso in google and extract to your hard disk and install from there.

hope this helps
