Uh, by /proc/cpuinfo it's a Socket AM2 Athlon 4850e, which isn't too awfully old. Socket A was pre-Athlon64, and definitely not capable of 8GB of RAM..... The motherboard he referenced is an ASUS M3N78-EM, which is a current product at NewEgg, among other vendors. > Does the command 'smartctl -a /dev/sda' show any reallocated sectors? That's a thought..... Palimpsest (Disk Utility) includes a utility to run SMART tests; launch Disk Utility, select the disk, click on 'SMART Data', then select the test you'd like. It also lists the SMART information from the drive. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
