  • Convert old computers to browser only?

    Is it possible to convert older desktops to be browser-only like Chromebooks are?  We're past the expected life of our lab computers for our school by several years.  Rather than put them in the trash bin, I thought maybe we could get some more use out of them by getting rid of the resource-hog OS and work entirely on-line.

  • Windows 7 or 8?

    I'm building a gaming computer and noticed that Windows 8 would be out by the time I would be making the purchases. I was planning on duel booting Windows 8 and a Linux distro (probably Ubuntu), however with Steam/Valve being upset with Windows 8, I was wondering if Windows 7 might be better. So I have 3 questions. 1) Will games continue to be ...

I've never built a computer before but have been looking into it a lot and am going to attempt my first build.  Being new to all this, I don't know anything about compatability or what parts I should be looking for so I was hoping someone would be kind enough to ...

  • SFF prebuilt computer for use as linux server

    I have a linux server that's been running on a Dell optiplex GX270 SFF for quite some time and it died recently. So I bought a used one on Amazon a couple of months ago... and that one died too. I might be able to combine the parts from the two and put together something working, but I'm starting to think that I should maybe just buy a new ...

  • First Build - w/Ubuntu

    Hi everyone, I'm very shortly going to be purchasing all parts from newegg, and I want to get some opinions on both quality, and compatibility (mostly compatibility -- as a whole, and with Ubuntu) of this build so essentially -- I'm not that into games, so note the absence of graphics card (planning to use MB default and upgrade later). I need ...

  • compatibility and recommendations on 1st build

    Hey Everyone, This is my first ever home build computer and I am trying to keep it under (or around) $1200. The main purpose for this computer is for school (just declared as a computer science major so seemed like a good time to buy a desktop) and gaming (sims 3, civilizations, skyrim, mass effect 3, etc.). So this is what I am considering ...

  • Want to stream better video on Dell B110

    So I have an old Dell B110 with a 2.53 Celeron D Processor, Intel integrated graphics, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD. I just upgraded the RAM from 512 mb to 2 gb and that seemed to help quite a bit with everyday speed, but the video streaming is pretty laggy. What should I upgrade to improve this? I've heard some grumbling about Dell B110's not being able ...

  • What do YOU want in an OS?

    Ok, here is my opinion.  Feel free to disagree or agree with me on anything :)  With the recent flub of Microsoft's flagship software, Windows' new version of Vista, and the constant growth of alternative computer operating systems such as SuSE, debian, Ubuntu Linux, I believe it comes down to US as users of software to tell the ...
