What I need to find is a web cam that produces "studio quality" feed
(60 fps, at least 640x480, 24-bit pixels) that would work well under
Linux (OpenSuSe is our main preference). Ideally, that would be a USB-
based camera. If it can have positional control via software - even

I have a cheapo widescreen, 19" monitor.  I'm using it on a Linux system.
The two options I have for refresh are 1440x900@60hz  and 75hz.  I'm
using the analog cable @ 60hz.  
What advantage, if any, would I have by running at 75hz ??

I just bought two NetGear GA311 GigaBit PCI adapters and a NetGear
GS605 GigaBit Ethernet Switch.  I have two computers with the PCI
cards in them connected through my home network into the GS605.  Much
of my network is wired into the walls.  I'm pretty sure I am not

I just brought home a used Dell Dimension 2300 and added RAM, a spare

different schools of thought, and to what extent there are constant

I recently installed a new cd/dvd burner. Everything seemed fine. I
didn't realize until I gave a CD to somebody else that it did not
finalize the CD.
When burning CDs, I have always used windows explorer to drag the

Hey all you experts
I really need a word of advice here... I am currently trying to

I want to replace my current microprocessor with a faster one which
might not be supported by the BIOS of my motherboard. I am wondering if
it can work, in the sense that even though the BIOS might not print a
nice message saying "I recognize this processor as a XYZ", the system

As I indicated in my earlier posts, I mistakenly bought a SATA DVD
burner drive instead of a PATA drive.  Anyway, I had to buy some
cables to hook it up.  It is now working.
But I now have two more questions:

I didn't think you could.  I know I never could when I had an external
HD connected to my USB.  Anyway, my friend now has an older HP machine
