ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net

use that to wrap your windows drivers in linux - read the installation guide and check the list of known cards to work for yours

yay, my card is on the list, Linux, here I come.

eh....if this is your first time trying linux, watch out. You have to compile ndiswrapper, meaning you need the kernel headers that match the kernel you are running (this isn't hard to get in debian w/ an internet connection). There is a way to get by without compiling, but i wouldn't do it. Also, if you are going to run debian (or almost any linux distro), try and get an ethernet internet connection at least for the install (i know debian will automatically get updates/securirty patches while its installing so you'll end up with a completely up-to-date system)

I made sure that the WEP key encryption was off when testing to see if the card gets any connection, but it wouldn't. What I did find out though was that in the Wireless Adapters in the Settings, I had to manually input the MAC address of my wireless card, and then it began to receive perfect signal. I think it works even after encryption, but I'll have to check on that.

@ Ult Dev: Also, I was trying to do something like that.....you said help help files, right...hmm

Yeah, and there's always Google...

Well, I was trying to say that the link to Internet Connection Wizard was in the help files...



Not true; you only need the libraries and the dev packages of some libraries; you only need kernel headings if you're going to recompile your kernel, which is way beyond any newbie, and isn't really all that necessary for an ndiswrapper (unless you want to integrate it into the kernel, which doesn't really give you that much of a speed advantage)

u may remember bak when i asked if windows based cpu overclocking progs existed and i was ridiculed and told no way, well http://www.cpuid.org/clockgen.php is where to get the prog!! and once i get my peltiers, ill be usin it

Oooohhh, cool! Reminder to anyone who decides to use this: make sure your vital system components have the proper cooling!

yes!! plz do! and make sure u get the correct version, and if there isnt 1, then u cant use it, sry

Crash + freeze = BAD.

i have the money, now it just needs to be put into the bank account that paypal takes from, then im buyin 5 small peltiers, totaling $25.05, including shipping

And what about the circuitry to control the amps that the peltiers will pull so that they don't form condensation?

i have a variable voltage regulator, but idk how to use it, each pelt is supposed to have 1v, and i have a voltage meter so that i can check, the peltier im puttin on there is about the size of the core on the cpu, so there shouldnt b ne condensation neway, be cause the cpu will keep it warm enough, or so im told

thats because overclocking from windows is stupid, real men use the BIOS (its also better for overclocking anyway)

Oh, and you don't regulate a peltier to prevent it from forming condensation, as that defeats the purpose. The point of a pelt is to get sub-zero temperatures, and to prevent condensation you just have to insulate the pelt and prep the socket area - if you don't know how to do this, you really should't be using a pelt at all then

ok, i just figured out y my wireless thingy is working: i was never actually using dsl for 1 1/2 years.....i was getting a lan connection directly from the modem.....

I just actually connected to Verizon DSL 2 days ago
No one told me that I had to do it manually.......but I was trying to setup a server for AA and now it works that DSL works...

um the pelts r designed for 1v, i need the regulators cuz the the pelts wont work if the get over 1.5v, thats the vmax, i have talked to the seller and he told me wut i needed to do. so u can shut up about that, and i can over clock usin bios, and the fastest possible is 2500mhz, but from windows i can get faster, so u can shut up about that too, and i wanted it so i wouldnt have to restart al the time just to see how windows will run with it like that, so u can stop bein a fuckin asshole when u dont kno wut ur talkin about.

Well, we were under the assumption that you were regulating the voltage due to condensation...

but then again, you're partly right because it's not really possible to insulate a pelt enough so that condensation doesn't form, else you'd have to insulate the cold side as well, which isn't really possible since that's what's touching the CPU; even if someone were to insulate just the edges and the top, there still would be a little bit of condensation (unless, of course, one were to completely encase the peltier and the CPU into the socket with plastic or something, then vaccuum-compress the internals...)

the pelt is almost the same size as the core of an athlon xp, thats y its perfect and thats y im gettin it

you have cover the front and back of the socket first, you never alter the power going to the pelt. This will prevent condensation. It can be tricky to set up, but if you know what you're doing (and you have good water cooling), the payoffs can be huge (generally only phase-change or "temporary" solutions cool better - like LN2 or dry ice)



You need to test for stability every time you up the speed, and it sure doesn't sound like your doing that. one of the quickets, easiest tests of stability is just seeing if windows can boot. If you can go faster once windows is booted, then you definitely aren't running a stable comp (unless you can claim 24hours of Prime95 torture test at those speeds) And it really doesn't sound like YOU know what your doing, especially since you have to resort to crappy grammer, misspelled words, and flaming, rather than a sensicle, factual argument

And the volt of the pelt doesn't matter as much as the watts, which is what actually translates into its cooling power (and what your extra PSU is going to have to power)

im sry but the company selling the pelts knows a hell of a lot more than u, and i have spoken to the guy in charge and he told me exactly wut to do it is .34 in by .34in, al most the same as a barton core, its best use is coolin athlon xps. and the guy said if i run 5 i dont ned a regulator if i use the 5v from my psu, obvious, i will be doin this btw, ill be coolin my system, my cpu, my ram, and my gpu. have u ever even used a pelt b4? i bet not, do u think u kno everything? ya u probly think that, u a lil nerd with no life whose only passion is comps and trying to proove ur intelligence? i would almost put money on that. unless u kno exactly wut ur talkin about, not think u do, dont talk.
o and about mispelling, its called shorthand, and almost every 1 on the web uses it.
dont piss me off, ill have u gone in no time, i dont need kerms help, i kno the sites host, hed help me.
@ Kerm, id have to be rather pissed, but im well on that way

o and this is a comp specs topic, i originally started it and was like the most active topic for a while, y the hell it always off topic?

i kno exactly wut im doin, i was just givin an update, i prolly wont even use the windows tool to oc, but its easier to see wut temps ill get and stuff and to test it out, btw isnt a 3200+ 2200mhz?
