Server 2003 is based off of xp so it basically has the same compatibility as xp only some of the really complex programs need to have a separate 2003 version

Anybody know how to fix this I tried installing ubunta through wubi when I try to boot it I get a purple screen or a flashing black screen with a white line on the top and when I try to boot it with nomodeset I get flashing colorful lines and I can't boot into grub by using the shift key any ideas? I used wubi and I'm running a radeon 6480g with windows 8 it does not have safe boot ect. It was put on a HP dv6 which originally came with Windows 7 so that isn't the problem

I have an XFX 9600gt in this unit I'm converting to a server, will the drivers work properly? Or would it be trial and error sort of thing?
[Off-topic] Sparx639:
Re: **Desktops and Laptops Thread**[ALL COMPUTER RELATED QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS HE

It might be trial and error? I'd figure that it would work fine as long as you pick the right driver you would normally use. Just make sure you get the 32bit driver if on a 32bit os and 64bit driver if on a 64bit os. You sound like you would know this already :D

The only issue with laptops is non standard mobo configurations and case formats. HDDs, processors and RAM are non issues. The other stuff that make it up may be for some. Personally, I'd do it if I needed something specific, but there are several vendors that offer awesome systems at an equivalent price of parts and software. I've had to put together Toshiba and Bumble bee laptops before when I worked in IT. Most annoying part: the damned keyboard. Do what makes you happy and fell accomplished.

FX 6300 is the BEST CPU for the money and performance. I downgraded from an i7 2600k and I get 2 to 10 fps more on my games with the exact same hardware. I do not know why. And for testing, I rendered the exact same video, on my i7 it took 36 seconds while on my FX it took right about 39 seconds. I coupled it along with a cheap but good mobo(Asus M5A78-LMX+) and I had a winner CPU and mobo for 217 from NCIX. Plus my CPU has 3 years of warranty and motherboard has 1 year. Can't beat that

i5-2500k and i7-2600k should have no difference in games, as the only difference between them is that the i7 has HT which doesnt affect gaming.

The i5-2500k is overlockable while the i5-2500 isnt, so if you going to compare the AMD with the i5-2500k do it ith the locked version.

750 gb

15.6"

intel hd graphics

geforce gt640M 2gb

the reviews are very positive and it seems like it will be capable of handling games.

also its 900 dollars, i am finding laptops for 500 euro's... but i think they might be different, is this a good price for my laptop?

http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laptops/1293325/acer-aspire-v3-571

found the link and it says its 500 euro's it must be a worse model or something?

I have a 23" LCD Monitor from LG which I use for gaming. The res. is 1920X1080. I play from about 1.8 feet away

I have a 47" LG LCD TV which my family uses for watching TV on with an HD PVR. The res. is 1920X1080(Same). We watch from about 10 Feet away.

Now, I noticed that ALL of the HD channels on the TV are 720p and it's pretty clear even when I go close to it. Does that mean getting a 23" monitor and downgrading from 1080p to a 1280X720 monitor will make my picture seem really bad? Obviously I won't be getting as much screen real estate, I know that.
