  1. Re:Ubuntu on A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 1

    The upcoming Hardy Heron release (8.04 LTS) has the latest Xorg, which supposedly has improved multi-monitor detection. And while I think there are some options in Admin (or Prefs) for changing monitors, I find the nvidia-settings panel to work the best. Set it up the way you like, then get it to write its own xorg.conf file

  2. Re:Yield, effectiveness on Dell Set to Introduce AMD's Triple-core Phenom CPU · · Score: 1

    Or for instance, using 7 of the 8 cores on the PS3 cell CPU?

    Building a Cell with 8 "working" cores was going to make the playstation unbearably expensive to produce, so they decided to also use CPU's with one dud core. Of course, some PS3's do have the full quota of 8 cores, but the 'spare' is disabled before it exits the factory.
