  1. Intel is the largest (and oldest existing I believe) CPU manufacturer, followed by AMDIf you plan to overclock the cpu then while both brands are equally disputed at best for overclocking by different people some versions are better to overclock then others, simply research what ones are good to overclock before you buy the processor(when overclocking you also have to deal with heat and voltages)Generally I would agree Athlons run hotter then Pentium's but not by a large amount and if you are going to have a good cooling system in place then I don't see the extra heat being a issue and yes they will keep running, if you have no cooling this would be band, it would cook your cpu and possibly damage the motherboard, again with proper cooling it is not a problemWhenever I look at a comparison chart Athlons always seem to perform better then Athlon in most or all tasks and this includes X's which actual speed is less the Pentium's actual speedFor stability it doesn't matter what you choose though Athlon may be a bit more stable when over clocked I believeIf you have the extra money then get 64 but I don't believe you will see any difference in performance in games for now just because its 64 BITFor price Athlon is always cheaper then IntelMy conclusion is make your choice on the actual chip you buy, not just the brand, do your homework, also good cpu is helped by a good motherboard and ramIn the end I know nothing
  2. I am somewhat baffled that you were unable to find free anti virus software via google, especially since your first search gives 2 well known programs easily in the first page, perhaps you didn't see those as any good Of course you get what you pay for so generally a free anti virus program won't be as good as a paid one, which I would reccomend getting (Norton and McAfee are good) here are a few links to pages and articles with links and reviews of free anti virus programs: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://antivirus.about.com/od/freeantivirussoftware/ Also a anti virus program is essential but I would also reccomend a firewall (a free alright one is Zonealarm, and anti adware/spyware software (Ad-Aware and Spybot are best in my opinion) hmm Arabic?
  3. There are allot of good instrumental songs though I guess most of them are well old.Don Campbell has some alright classical instrumentals that I think include some of mozartsThere's good ole Vivaldi - Four Seasons, Dvorak, Tchaikovskyand there's the more modern Vanessa MaeAlthough my favourite instrumental music is actually from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion soundtracks, though they are not original songs just very nicely done classics - Neon Genesis Evangelion Symphony
  4. drink from the bottlethats all I could think of in four wordsso thats one more answer request I guess

  7. Both *nix and Windows have their strengths and weaknesses For games I don't think any OS compares to the support windows 9x has for games and the amount of games that are made for 9x (which is not so true for NT) I don't believe anyone that says Linux is more user friendly then windows, even distributions like redhat fedora, they have a nice pretty interface for very basic things but as soon as you want mount another drive, do networking, set things to startup automatically, etc you have to turn to command line (in my experience) this can be very daunting for a new user, things just automatically aren't setup like they are in the newer windows (to a degree) of course Linux has improved in the user friendly stakes but I believe windows is still easier for most users (mostly because it is lax about things) To a point this is where windows runs into problems as its auto configuration of devices isn't always optimum in terms of speed, stability and security and further configuration requires external programs windows in my opinion is about letting the user do what they want without having to think or worry about the computer Linux is there as a base for programs to run, if the user wants it as a nice user friendly system they can configure that but I honestly don't think Linux really cares about the user sitting at the keyboard The latest Red Hat Distribution (A consumer/workstation oriented Linux) has a recommended minimum system requirement of an Intel compatible processor of 200MHz (Megahertz) for text-mode and 400MHz for graphic mode a minimum of 620MB (Megabyte) of hard drive space (6.9GB (Gigabyte) to install everything) and 64MB of RAM for text mode and 256MB for graphical mode http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ The latest Slackware Distribution (A server oriented Linux) has a recommended minimum system requirement of a 386 processor (16MHz) a minimum of 50MB of hard drive space and 16 MB of RAM These specifications are for limited networking and interface (Text mode) operation http://www.slackware.com/install/sysreq.php Microsoft Windows XP Pro minimum system requirements: 233 MHz processor required 64 MB minimum supported 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/products/windows
  8. I've used a few different linux distros but not unix, is plain vanilla unix still used in business? why would anyone use unix over linux, I can't find any free unix's? I don't think linux stands for 'linux is not unix', think it is a combination of Linus and Unix Linux inspired by unix but written entirely from scratch, no unix code http://www.unix.org/what_is_unix/flavors_of_unix.html seems to have some interesting information on unix
