Windows XP bugs update

Refalm:
I know... I just posted this so no-one will say: "type FORMAT C: in DOS-mode" because this is impossible without a boot-disk. I just don't want people who haven't used Windows *deep-respect* for a while make a fool out of them selves...
My little brother insists on keeping Windows, so I can't throw that sh*t of the PC  :(
I sure hope Lindows will work like a b*tch*n' good OS, so I can say: "I installed Linux and I can still run all my Win32 apps."

(EDIT) Ehh? DOS is 8-bit buddy(hence why any games that you run in DOS don't run in color modes any higher than 8-bit/256 color..or when you use a custom Win9x loading splash screen picture it must be in 256 color or lower otherwise it wont display..DOS doesn't handle anything above 8-bit). Windows 3.1 was a 16-bit shell that ran on top of DOS(which was still 8-bit). Win9x is a 32-bit OS that runs on top of DOS(still 8-bit).

BTW, obviously somebody here cares about Doom or he wouldn't have posted about having a problem running it in these forums. ;P

first of all, sounds a bit dumb, running a 16 bit shell over an 8 bit OS, asking for a crash it sounds like...
what was win95 about then? was it 16bit dos? or a 16bit windows OS with 8 bit DOS included? or what?

secondly, refalm, i wouldn't hold out for lindows, it looks like being a high priced custom linux distro. Nothing you can't get elsewhere, with a normal consumer distro and some emulator apps. take X11's advice, and get an OS like red hat, SuSE or mandrake, and install Wine, WineX, DOSEMU and VMWare on it.

well you could try this method for overclocking your cooling fan, or here is a page dedicated specifically to cooling down an AMD Athlon. Here is another low cost cooling idea that you may like to try.
You choose.......

nice links. but why stop at overclocking your fan to 24 volts? Why not hook it up to 125 volts and see how long it will run?
directly connect it into the house wiring... Mu ha ha ha ha ha ha!

why not put an overclocking fan inside a tube connected to the cold winter air that connects to your pc?
Time to experiment.

question: i have an old fan (it is crappy and burnt my processor because its so small) and there is no wire connected to it, just two pins where a connecter should go, how can i find out which is negative and which is positive?

Calum:
to my knowledge, there is no difference. If you wire it up one way, the fan will go clockwise, if you wire it up the other way, the fan will go anticlockwise. Wire it up both ways and see which way doesn't suck  :D

(this is a serious answer and you should not shy away from actually doing this. I am not trying to damage you or your kit, just to dispel any myths you may have heard...  ;)  )
