NVIDIA releases GeForce 7950 GX2 SLI-on-a-single-card
Jun 5th
Review and benchmarks of NVIDIA's 7950 GX2 – a pair of circuit boards, 2 GPUs and 2 sets of memory chips, an "SLI setup on a stick", which fits in the same PCI Express space as other top-end graphics cards. Although DIYers are prevented by NVIDIA from doing Quad SLI with 2 of them, it's still a monster performer that uses less power than expected.

Accesing NTFS and FAT32 partiton on Ubuntu
May 16th
Please follow these at your own risk
NTFS and FAT32 are the partitions used by windows to access them from UBUNTU follow these For NTFS just type open terminal and type
sudo fdisk -l
then see which partition is of NTFS (i am taking it as /dev/hda1) then to mount it to /media/windows type
sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fsab_backup
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
add the following at the end of the file
/dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
save the file then in terminal type
sudo mount -a
For FAT32 partition
repeat the above and just add
/dev/hda1 /media/windows vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0
in the file
Make sure u name the folders differently for FAT32 and NTFS and also change the text to be copied accordingly NJOI
Playing mp3 on UBUNTU
May 16th
It’s usual to find many distributions without MP3 support due to licensing issues. If you have MP3 files and don’t know how to play them do the following:
- Open the terminal
- Type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
- Remove comments to packages (This is erasing the # characters in lines starting with ##deb)
- Save changes and close gedit
- Update the packages sudo apt-get update
- Install the mulitmedia codecs:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-lame
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install w32codecs
sudo apt-get install libdivx4linux
sudo apt-get install lame
sudo apt-get install sox
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install mjpegtools
sudo apt-get install vorbis-tools
gst-register-0.8
Now you can open a player like Rythmbox or Kaffeine and start listening songs.
