Re: DELL GX-50: MB? and CPU upgrade?
I have a collection of old machines b/c I like learning the different os's. My list consists of HP Mdl 710/60, Mac G4, DEC Multia (my pride and joy - it has an alpha processor), NeXT slabs and cubes, and PDP-11 (extinguished due to space issues)....
No announcement yet.

DELL GX-50: MB? and CPU upgrade?
I was given a DELL Optiplex GX-50. I found the SDRAM for it and it won't boot up. The "SETUP" (Bios?) screen is accessible (there is only one screen, that's why I am wondering if this is indeed the bios) but after I "Save & Exit" nothing happens.

Re: hp-ux Network questions SOLUTION

1) the route command did not specify a '1' at the end of the command,

Re: hp-ux Network questions
I did as you said "nameserver IP" (which was found on my mac and then again from a ping of my ISP on my PC) but neither IP's worked.
I then noticed that DHCP is disabled. So I edited /etc/rc.config.d/resolv.conf to change...Last edited by sweet; 07-13-2009, 10:00 PM.

Re: Dell Optiplex
Dell Optiplex GX270 Tower 2.4GHz 1024MB XP Pro & 19" LCD = $200

However, I did a search for how to throw out a busted (mac) monitor and came across these deals for old Dell Optiplex machines. So here's my question:...

HP Monster Sale (ends 4/11)
I want to get an hp laptop but have no idea which is the best deal - which machine is the most bang for the smallest buck. I can narrow my need for help down to two items - the cpu (and chipset(?)) and the video card. So if anyone has any helpful tips I'd appreciate hearing from you before Firday afternoon...
