| | F7 download is finished so I should be installing by the end of the week. Hoping the new opensource nvidia driver pans out well and hopefully this release will be even more stable than FC6. Also looking forward to using Firefox 2.0, didn't bother with the manual installtion of FC6 and I dearly miss on-the-fly spell checking.
Recently, FC6 was failing to boot because my cpu cores wouldn't synchronise. Opened up the comp and found and unbelievable amount of dust in the case. Most notably the transistors etc. around the CPU under the heatsink shroud were buried in dust. Cleaned it out, reseated my CPU and carefully applied some Artic Silver and it has gone back working like a charm. I'll have to make cleaning the computer a regular habit, I didn't realise the dust problem was that bad. I ended up, before reseating the CPU, taking out everything and cleaing the case and components. Was a drag but it was necessary.
I had no idea playing a few PC games from behind a router could be so much drama. Port Forwarding, VPNs, Shortcut Target Parameters, Regedits...all to get 2 games working. Long story short, Hamachi VPN and Port Forwarding fix most woes. For some games though, unintelligent games that can't handle 2 connections sensibly, you need to get inventive.
