Intel X86 Architecture

1 GB=1000 bytes 1 byte=8 bit so, 64 GB=64000 bytes=64000*8 bites.

2. On partioning my hard drive and the architecture of the Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 Processor..?

There are vast technical differences that can fill books, so I don't think anyone can write that all in this reply box. One high level difference is that PowerPC uses RISC instruction set while Intel x86 is CISC. What makes these sets different is again a lengthy discussion. Another major differences is the motherboard and thus memory subsystem. Again these are huge topics, so I've included a few links that can fill you in on all those lengthy details.

4. What is VMware and how can i use it to run simultaniously UBUNTU (Linux) Windows XP in my PC.

VMWare is virtual PC software. It creates a virtual machine within your OS, and you can run a second OS on that virtual machine.

5. I have an intel celeron 2.4GHz 478pin processor. What Ubuntu version should I install?

Use option 1, the with the x86 architecture. Your processor cannot support 64-bit processing, so it cannot support a 64-bit operating system. If you don't believe me, download CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-141.zip), run it, and look under Instructions. If you don't see either x86-64 or EM64T, then your processor does not support 64-bit. Hope this helps.

6. What is the reason that ARM based CPUs (for mobile devices) are more power saving than x86 CPUs?

ARM chips are simple by comparison to x86 chips. Simple means less circuitry and less power. If you look at ARM assembler and 586 assembler you will see what I mean. ARM chips have general purpose registers that you can apply simple operations to. x86 chips have registers of differing widths with specific uses (arithmetic, addressing) that you can do quite complex instructions with.

7. I have Vista 32 bit running an intel processor, which Ubuntu do i need to download?

You have to download Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Best of luck :)

8. Older sever, need to know it's architecture?

Here's the spec's: (It's also called an Intel STL2) (This is the technical specification page from Intel.com It's a PDF download. http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/STL2/sb/cs-007532.htm Here's a website that shows the spec's on it. http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=G7ESZ-WB-Rcat=MBB (Has two Socket 370 sockets on the mobo. Uses Intel Pentium III processors with a 133MHz FrontSideBus. Will support Pentium III's with a frequency speed from 667MHz to 1024MHz. (1GB) Supports up to 4GB's of SDR Sdram at 133MHz that's Error Correction Code ram. (Slower ram for servers, because it checks itself every other clock tick.) Probably PC133 ram that's ECC. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1558859CatId=560 Just an example above. Not sure if the voltage, ram timings, and chip configuration is correct. Probably is though. Pretty cheap stuff, huh? This is only 256MB's! Your mobo has four ram slots with a maximum of 1GB each. Hmmmm. http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/item/13512 Little bit better price. You might want to check around this site, for related parts also. I bought a mobo a year ago for someone, and installed it. Still works great today! Here's your Linux. Ubuntu Server Edition.

9. Which version of ubuntu should i download?

Overall the 32bit (x86) architecture is generally a better choice. The 64bit will typically utilize the hardware more, but there are still some things you may have trouble with using the 64 bit kernel. So it depends on your preferences and what the usage will be. If you wanna be on the edge and can deal with possibly having some issues go with the 64bit. Well not exactly on the edge as the linux kernel has been available in 64bit for quite a few years. I have an AMD64 in my laptop but for now I've stuck with the x86 kernel Slackware, mainly for compatibility reasons. For general info see the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit For ubuntu performance info on 32 vs 64: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=616num=1 For some further discussion points: http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/about136520.html Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit CPU.

10. What is the architecture of my processor?

This is the architecture: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=145

11. what type of computer do i have?

Go with x86, even if you eventually figure out that maybe you have a 64bit CPU.

12. I downloaded Gentoo Linux from their website! I downloaded the minimal version!?

Yes, your machine is x86 ... I'm a Linux Administrator, by the way ... And it seems that you are a beginner with Linux ... then I would not recommend Gentoo at all ... I'd recommend ubuntu , feisty, or opensuse ,10.2, ... Gentoo is not something nice for beginners and not really good for laptops at all, in my opinion ... as Its package manager is source based which means that it doesn't download a pre-compiled packages as most of other distros do but the source code ... then it compiles it on your machine ... then means waste of battery power and time on your laptop as you can spend have of the time compiling packages ..

13. Which version of Ubuntu is for Mac?

yes the 2nd option, seeing as mac's run best in 64bit, but you wont hurt your computer in x86 architecture.

14. Which version of Ubuntu Linux should I download?

64-bit AMD and Intel processors are backwards-compatible with 32-bit operating systems. Most people run 32-bit versions for various compatibility reasons. Most of the incompatibilities for 64-bit Windows unfortunately apply to Linux as well. While the open-source programs on Linux are not a problem, proprietary things like Flash plugins are. To use Flash, you have to either use a 32-bit browser, or a nasty compatibility wrapper that often crashes. For most users, I would recommend the 32-bit version. 64-bit is great for servers and video editing (if you have more than 4 GB of RAM. Otherwise, it is just more of a hassle (though not too difficult if you are familiar with Linux.

15. Which release of Ubuntu will my computer support? (Which should I download)?

Standard personal computer. If you have an Intel that should work.

16. Which Linux distro to download for Mac OS X??

17. Ubuntu help?

The x86 version is the one you want Matt, but you might take a look at this first. 1.http://apcmag.com/the_definitive_dualbooting_guide_linux_vista_and_xp_stepbystep.htm 2.http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing

18. Which is the best enterprise server OS as of today?

Well. Good question. I suppose your choice should be based on being the cheapest/best for what you need. Your clients are probably on Windows, however a free Linux Distro like CentOS can certainly handle DHCP, printing, Files hosting, etc. I guess it comes down to exactly what applications you need, and the type of database. If you need .net and sql server, you gotta go Windows. If you can hanlde MySQL, go linux. As far as hardware, get the biggest fastest thing you can afford. You didnt list it, but Sun is also a good Server option. http://www.sun.com/servers/index.jsp Edit - Point taken... you can just get the Solaris OS (I did), but you couldnt use it as a business server (legally). However, you can get cheaper Sun Fire servers running AMD Opteron (not SPARC) starting at around $1000: http://www.sun.com/servers/index.jsp But, if you are not planning on hosting Java web applications, Sun might not be the way to go. You mentioned Linux developers, and basic Apache/PHP/MySQL hosting. Then you might aswell go Linux... what are they developing for? Red Hat? You could even go with the same Linux they are working on.

19. Im confuse...to choose..?

That's a big question... If you are looking for the best computer for you I'd suggest finding answers to these questions first: Desktop or Latop? Desktops have great power are feature rich, but are not portable. Laptops offer almost the same power of desktops today are portable, but don't make use of the most powerful computer chips available. How much money can you spend? Apple computers using Intel chips are great, but expensive. AMD chips offer great power functionality for less money in a PC. Intel chips are the most popular and prevelent on the market, and offer a variety of features types. Upgrades or Upfront cost? Desktops laptops are easily upgradeable today, but some elements can not be upgraded. Paying more upfront means you can use your computer for longer without the need for upgrades. Paying less upfront may mean you'll be making Hard Drive, Disk Drive, and Memory upgrades in a year or two. If you really want to know, here is a little information about what I think you were trying to ask: I can give you information about Intel, Apple, and AMD. Intel makes Pentium, Celeron Pentium is a more powerful expensive chip, Celeron is the oppostie. AMD makes Athlon Sempron Athlon is like the Pentium chip, Sempron is like the Celeron chip Apple used to use the chips you list, but are now using intel chips. Apple Computers using intel chips run faster than PC's using the same chips in general, but they are more expensive. 64 Bit technology is now available. It offers some more advanced video features, developing opportunities, and virus protection than what is curretly available. 64 Bit technology is becoming a standard, and is available from AMD Intel. If you do not like doing upgrades in the future, you may want to seek out 64 bit technology in this computer.

20. Which instruction set for Linux should I choose?

Intel chip - i386 will work for both 32 and 64 bit processors. Go with i386, for more reasons than I want to expand upon.
