Operating Systems.

I run on 2000 professional and it's stabil running since i installed it. as an alternative operation system i run on LINUX SUSE 8.2 and waiting for the upgrade 9.0

only xp and linux 8.2 or higher supports new cpu structure, so if your processor has more than 3.0 ghz you should choose one of them for best performance.

still, i'll never gonna upgrade to xp on my machine and i don't service any of xp on pc's i buildet up even tho i have xp also ready for use

if you need ms-office like i do in case of excel and access then you should have a look for "Cross Over" for Linux. that programm supports all needet DLL's for the whole office package + some ms products more without emulating windows. this will not cost you the speed like win mine does under linux.

enjoy
ciao, charly

The CrossOver Office was a saver for me

I did get lots of Windows programs to work, but it still lagged and some features were missing.

Don't you have to pay for that?

Yep, free trials though :p

I generally use The Gimp. I had to use Photoshop about a week ago and forgot where everything was... hehe.

as far as i know cross over supports photoshop too, but i rather use fireworks and the macromedia stuff ...

Yeah it does, but it doesn't support the "Save for Web" properly. That took some tweaking to get it to work. But the speed issue is what got me mad -- I'd need a megacomputer for the program to operate like it does under Windows.

hi 2 CoFo 2

in case of seeking speed, get newest (4 in 1) driver. get more ram ... but you should not overclock, better a stabil long range than a short sprint. better a well cooled cpu than a hot slowing down one (that's just a hint)

ciao, charly

yeah 1
