    Is this motherboard shot?

    http://www.clearpc.ca/ The motherboard uses the BLACK wires as ground, not the case... There are contact points around the screw holes, but that is to make sure all metal around is at the same potential, not to act as a ground... If that was the case, a PSU that isn't mounted inside a case...

    Win 7 64 bit, just put in 4 more gigs for 8 total only shows 3.5 now?

    Win 7 64 bit, just put in 4 more gigs for 8 total only shows 3.5 now?

    So you are saying that if you fill a 1L milk box with 2 times 0.5L or 1 time 1L it will be different in size? It still is a 1L box... And single and multiple channel is identical, because you have a wider bus width... 4 or 8GB refers to how big the box is, not how many "items" you can put...

    Win 7 64 bit, just put in 4 more gigs for 8 total only shows 3.5 now?

    Is that so? I don't think so... 64bit refers to the instructions, not to sizes... It is like saying that 4GB dual channel RAM is 8GB single channel RAM, because the bus is double as wide...

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    It depends on how your circuits are built. Common practice (and regulations in Belgium) states that you should spread the sockets on 1 breaker over different rooms. Also, in Belgium the circuit breakers are 16A, on 230V (in ideal conditions) they should be able to deliver 3600W of power to all...

    Hibrernate and suspend worked fine on my Gentoo Laptop... ATI has a history of shafting their Linux users, blame them... However, nowadays they are catching up quite rapidly... Just use the closed source drivers...
