Any basilers use Linux? In computer science at school, we get to use computers running Linux and the Ubuntu distribution. Well after hearing a lot about Linux in the past, my view on Linux is that it's really useful, but hard to use, and you [i]really[/i] need to know your stuff. So after messing around with Linux for a period, it doesn't seem to be [i]that[/i] confusing. But then again, the staff set everything up for us. So my question is, what are the pros and cons of using a Linux? Also, is it a good idea for me to get Linux if my intention is just gaming and school work?
Looking for help to upgrade my computer. I want to upgrade my computer from a crappy integrated GPU, to [url=http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4843000&SRCCODE=PRICEGRABBER&cm_mmc_o=2mHCjCVybgwTyz__wyCjCVqHCjCdwwp&cpncode=24-110179785-2]this.[/url]. My problem is, my Power supply unit is around 250W~300W. I'm not sure if that's enough to handle this graphics card. Is it? If not, how many watts should I aim for to run this card and everything else (everything else being 750GB hard drive, 6GB of RAM, and a 2.70Ghz CPU) Thanks in advance.
